Summary

The Transfer deadline has brought a flurry of moves as Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are ready to talk about it! Lalas and Mosse first dive into USMNT's 0-0 draw against Colombia and then react to Weston McKennie's transfer to Premier League side Leeds United. Lalas and Mosse debate whether it was right move for McKennie to play for Jesse Marsch and alongside United States teammates Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson. Lalas and Mosse then react to the weekend games that occurred, featuring Manchester City's victory over Arsenal, Wrexham grabbing a 3-3 draw against Sheffield United, Folarin Balogun helping Reims to a 1-1 draw against PSG, and Gio Reyna apparently not being 100% healthy yet for Dortmund. To wrap up the show, Lalas and Mosse debate whether USMNT should be patient in potentially replacing Gregg Berhalter and touch on the MLS' progress. Learn more about your ad choices.
