Bosnia-Herzegovina

An in-depth show about the U.S. men's national soccer team, the players who could one day make it better, and American soccer in general.

What do you do if McKennie, Musah and Adams are unavailable? We run through a lot of the possibilities, settle on some pretty clear (and perhaps obvious) favorite options, and then talk about what we'd like to see vs Bosnia on Saturday.

Alexi and Mosse kick off the podcast with a recap of the dramatic MLS Cup final between the Portland Timbers and NYCFC. They break down the VAR controversy from Portland’s last minute goal, Sean Johnson’s saves during the tense penalty shootouts, and why NYCFC manager Ronny Deila Striped after winning MLS Cup (10:04). Then the guys breakdown the USMNT’s upcoming game vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina and see which MLS players could break into the main squad. We then switch gears to Europe as we look at all the games around Europe and briefly cover the Liga MX final between Atlas and Leon, but we all know the real story is the fumbled Champions League draw! Alexi and Mosse make their picks for the Round of 16 and give their team rankings (37:18). We answered questions about whether Supporters’ Shield winners should get a bye in MLS Playoffs, why Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic is underrated, and answer if Alexi has ever played a FIFA game in #AskAlexi (56:14). Finally, Alexi caps off the show with a look at who from the next generation can carry the torch after Messi and Ronaldo retire (1:11:21). Learn more about your ad choices.

We had a little international / Easter break of our own, so Kris, Jez and Phil have a lot to round up this week. France drew with Ukraine and beat Kazakhstan and Bosnia-Herzogovina in World Cup qualifying, and the U21s lost to Denmark and beat Russia and Iceland to progress to the quarter-finals of the Euros. Then we had a key set of games on Saturday in Ligue 1 as Lille beat PSG, Monaco beat Metz and Lyon drew at Lens to throw the top of the table into a spin, and elsewhere there were concussions, penalties, red cards and much more besides.
