Summary

Alexi and Mosse start the show with a look at Gregg Berhalter’s coaching performance in World Cup Qualifiers and determine if he’s been unfairly criticized (12:32). Then we take a look at the biggest stories in MLS including Atlanta United’s win vs. DC United, why FC Dallas fired head coach Luchi Gonzalez, Chofis’ hattrick for San Jose, and the latest from CONCACAF Champions League and the League’s Cup (28:26). Then the guys turn to the Champions League group stage, break down all the drama from the first round of matches, and recap the biggest stories from Europe's top 5 leagues in the European Roundup (50:41). We also look at questions from fans about Jordan Pefok, potential travel restrictions for Christian Pulisic, and whether a national team could beat a domestic team in #AskAlexi (1:16:10).
