World Cup News

The back line is still the issue and by that we mean Abram. The mistakes we are making are different than the era under Pineda, and the outcomes seem like they must change for the better. We talk about it all, but we are frustrated with the current results even if they are unlucky.

A required comeback from Atlanta United FC to get the win 4-3 over NYCFC. We can score some goals, but the individual mistakes were really poor. Will Ronnie Deila make a change for Williams who had a shambolic game? Will we see Cobb or Edwards as a centerback, we hope so vs Dallas FC. We talked about it all.

Alexi and Mosse open the show with an MLS recap to talk Austin FC’s draw in its stadium opener with hype-man Matthew McConaughey, the final game at Crew Stadium, Jakob Glesnes banger, and LAFC’s struggles. (07:08). The guys then talk Copa America, Brazil’s tournament to lose, Argentina-Brazil gap bigger than thought, Alexi’s favorite player, Englishmen/Chilean Ben Brereton’s, and Chile, Uruguay playing with veteran players through the World Cup (27:15). They discuss EURO 2020, including Italy’s impressive run, and why Mosse doesn’t think England appreciates Jadon Sancho. (43:03). In #AskAlexi, fans ask for the USMNT and USWNT player Alexi would pick, Dallas FC academy not translating to success on the field, and if the guys think USMNT will be serious World Cup contenders by 2038. (51:10). Finally, Alexi caps the show with his “One for the Road,” which nods to operating lower-division soccer teams such as the Rochester Rhinos and the newly founded Flower City Union.
