Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Marcelo Balboa are back to unpack a jam-packed weekend on both sides of the Atlantic. After missing the USMNT’s November friendlies, Christian Pulisic returned in style, delivering the winning goal in the Milan derby (07:31). The guys debate a big question facing Mauricio Pochettino: Who’s the ideal partner for Pulisic in a dual No. 10 setup: Gio Reyna or Malik Tillman (10:15)? The crew digs into the coaching carousel. With Wilfried Nancy emerging as a leading candidate for the Celtic job, can he translate his success with Columbus Crew to one of Europe’s most pressure-packed environments (23:55)? And does LAFC have the right succession for life after Steve Cherundolo (29:17)? The guys tip their cap to USL champions Pittsburgh Riverhounds (44:55). Then it’s on to the MLS Cup Playoffs: after gutsy semifinal performances from San Diego, Vancouver, and NYCFC, the question remains: can anyone stop Lionel Messi and Inter Miami (48:11)?

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back for a new episode of State of the Union. Alexi gives his thoughts on the USMNT’s November roster and the news that Tyler Adams has joined the likes of Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, no longer on the roster. Gio Reyna and Sergiño Dest both made appearances for their clubs this weekend but there is still no sign of the injured Antonee “Jedi” Robinson, leading Mauricio Pochettino to admit he is “worried” about the fullback. In the States, the conference semifinals are set in the MLS Cup Playoffs where the likes of Lionel Messi and Son Heung-Min are still alive and fighting for a title. In #AskAlexi, we argue against the idea that MLS isn’t good for player development and in his One for the Road, Alexi applauds El Tri youngster, Gilberto Mora, for his confidence in Mexico’s chances to win next summer’s World Cup.
