Summary

Alexi and Mosse kick off the podcast with a recap of all the action around the Eastern and Western MLS Conference Finals, why Alexi was right about NYCFC. Then the guys look ahead to the final Portland vs. NYCFC match up and make their prediction for who will win MLS Cup (09:08). We then do a quick wrap around the world and look at Manchester United’s redemption, if Christian Pulisic will be a consistent starter at Chelsea, and look at the incoming Atlas vs. Leon Liga MX final (34:30). We answer your questions about Lewandowski’s snub for the Ballon d’Or, Jesse Marsch parting ways with RB Leipzig, and Alexi answers if Jaws or Jurassic Park is the better Spielberg movie in #AskAlexi (55:40). Finally, Alexi ends the show with a quick updated about his travels in Qatar (1:25:50). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
