The March international window is upon us. The U.S. men's national team has two games coming up, both in Atlanta. They will face Belgium on Saturday and then Portugal on Tuesday. The narrative and maybe the perception of this team is going to be formed over these next two games in what they take into the World Cup. Well, you put Turkey in there, then suddenly I don't think the U.S. is the clear-cut best team in the group anymore.

In fact, if you were doing power rankings, I actually would put Turkey above the U.S.

... Hello, Sunshine. I'm Alexi Lalas, and welcome to the State of the Union show, presented by Zillow. Someday starts today.

This is where we look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red, white, and blue colored glasses.

This show will be talking Fox's World Cup plans,

U.S. men's national team window predictions,

World Cup playoffs, nuclear nightmare, basketball soccer crossover,

Senegal guarding the cup, Jesse Marsh Mad, Mossie's Crush,

and so much more.

Mossie, how you doing on this?

Oh, here, let me put my cheaters on here.

Wednesday, March 25th in the year 2026.

I'm doing well.

Still buzzing over the Fox World Cup seminar, which was held on Monday here at the Fox

Studios.

It was incredible to see everybody who is going to take part in our coverage this

It was a day full of presentations and

videos, capped off by a wonderful party, good times. Yes, I guess some apologies are in order in

that we did not have a Monday show. But as you mentioned, we were hard at work and hard at play,

too, because it was a very social type of gathering.
