Gold Cup Roster

This week on State of the Union, the guys react to the latest Gold Cup roster updates, as goalkeeper Chris Brady replaces the injured Patrick Schulte. Meanwhile, Fulham announces that Jedi Robinson has undergone knee surgery—though he was already ruled out of the tournament. What do these injuries mean for the USMNT’s chances this summer? With the European club season officially in the books, Alexi and Mosse unveil their 2024–25 USMNT Abroad Awards, including picks for Goal of the Season, Assist of the Season, Player of the Season, and more. Over the weekend, Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah got the start in their final Serie A match of the season and finished 8th overall in the standings. Weston McKennie and Tim Weah helped Juventus secure their Champions League spot with a win over Gianluca Busio and Venezia. Should Busio consider a move this summer? Then, a look ahead to the Champions League Final—PSG vs. Inter Milan this Saturday in Munich—and a breakdown of major Liga MX vs. MLS clashes on the horizon, including the FIFA Club World Cup playoff between LAFC and Club America as well as the CONCACAF Champions Cup Final between Cruz Azul and Vancouver. Will Brian White be able to lead the Whitecaps to victory without Sebastian Berhalter? To close the show, the guys discuss Christian Pulisic’s Gold Cup decision, revisit iconic World Cup anthems, and share memories from the legendary 1994 U.S. World Cup squad.
