World Cup News

We've never seen a club flame its own star player like what Napoli did to Victor Osimhen on Tik Tok, so we invited CBS Sports' Serie A expert, Christine Cupo, on the show to break down the madness! Why would Napoli roast its best player on Tik Tok? WHY?!?! Christian and Christine take a look at the wild video that sent Osimhen over the edge and ask what possible reason the team's social media page could've had for posting it. We also discuss Houston Dynamo's dominant US Open Cup win over Inter Miami, give our opinions on Seattle Sounders' re-branding, and shout out NWSL star, Carson Pickett, for her hilarious Twitter commentary. Would you leave Napoli if you were Victor Osimhen? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse kick off the show by diving into the Messi debate. Inter Miami was thumped by Atlanta over the weekend while Messi was at home eating (questionable) pizza. Does MLS have an obligation to let people know well ahead of time if Messi is out?

It wasn't all bad news for Americans abroad, though, as Weston McKinnie & Tim Weah played a role in a big Juventus win.
