Summary

Alexi and Mosse open the show with the USMNT’s run of three wins in the Gold Cup, break down roster decisions, talk teams like El Salvador and Qatar impressing, and Mexico still being favorites but looking beatable. The guys then talk MLS, Heinze out at Atlanta after 17 games, Jozy Altidore rejoins Toronto and scores, and LAFC gets a W. (30:02). They discuss Leo Messi’s decision to stay with Barcelona, Barca’s financial troubles, and recent transfers, including Sergio Ramos to PSG and Jordan Sancho to Manchester United (49:20). In #AskAlexi, fans ask about PK follow-up rules, life in the corporate world as an athlete, and one fan still thinks broadcasts are using fake noise crowd. (1:05:13). Finally, Alexi caps the show with his “One for the Road,” on the rise of MLS team valuations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
