Summary

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back and dive into all things U.S. Soccer. The USMNT coaching search continues, focusing on many non-American coaches. After recent back surgery, it is announced that USMNT captain Tyler Adams will be out for the start of the EPL season. With the Olympics kicking off this week Alexi and Mosse preview the tournament. The U-23 Men’s Olympic team will face France on Wednesday, and the U.S. Women’s Olympic team will take on Zambia on Thursday. Lynn Williams replaced Catarina Macario on the Women’s squad. (8:17) In MLS, the guys recapped Miami’s 2-1 win over Chicago with goals from Matias Rojas and Jordi Alba. They continue to sit at the top of the East Standings. Philadelphia’s Cavan Sullivan also made his MLS debut at just 14-years-old. In the West, LA Galaxy and LAFC both secured 3 points ahead of the MLS All-Star Game. Additionally, Leagues Cup begins this week hosted by the United States and Canada. (34:55) To wrap the show, Alexi and Mosse discussed intangibles the USMNT is missing, how Mexico, USA, and Canada stack up heading into the 2026 World Cup cycle, and a few of Alexi’s own Olympic memories.
