Summary

What a week of drama on and off the pitch! Alexi Lalas and David Mosse begin with a wild weekend in MLS. Austin FC came back from a 3-1 deficit in style, Brandon Vasquez continued his hot streak, and Seattle dropped below the playoff line. Will Toronto make a run at the playoffs behind an Italian resurgence? In the EPL, Spurs and Chelsea battled on and off the field. Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel were both issued red cards after the final whistle for a dust-up. Who would win in a real fight? Meanwhile, all is not well at Manchester United. Should they bring in American Weston McKennie? We also dive into drama at PSG and debut weekends for Serie A and La Liga. In our #AskAlexi segment, we cover our all-time USMNT five-a-side, Darlington Nagbe in the EPL, and more. Make sure to follow us on social @SOTUWithAlexi to submit questions.
