Summary

David Mosse is BACK in-studio and feeling triumphant after his trip to Houston to watch Mighigan win the National title. He and Alexi Lalas begin the podcast by recapping various Cup ties featuring Americans in Europe. Why does MLS catch flack for downplaying the US Open Cup when their European counterparts do the same? We also preview the weekend through the eyes of red, white, and blue colored glasses as Americans hit the field all over the world including in the Bundesliga, where Gio Reyna and John Brooks return from their long break. (6:23) Coming off of multiple young USMNT stars making moves in the transfer window, Alexi gives his top 5 European leagues for young stars to develop. Where does MLS and Liga MX fall in that category? (22:00) In #AskAlexi, the duo answers your questions on the most influential German in American soccer history, dream landing spots for USMNT stars, and more.
