USMNT Striker Battle Heats Up, Pulisic & Weah Call Out Former Players

The race for the USMNT No. 9 spot is heating up, and Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are here to sort it all out. From Josh Sargent’s red-hot start at Norwich, to Haji Wright’s assist at Coventry, to Ricardo Pepi’s fitness update and transfer buzz, we break down all the big striker performances abroad. Plus, Alexi unveils his USMNT striker depth chart.
The guys also go around the globe with USMNT Abroad updates. Johnny Cardoso looks to make his Atletico Madrid debut, Diego Kochen has the potential to start for Barcelona, and the latest on Jedi Robinson’s injury. Back stateside, we preview the MLS weekend with Minnesota and Seattle facing off on FS1, and everyone is asking the big question…will we see Messi suit up against the Galaxy?
Then we take some fan questions including which nation outside Europe or South America could win the World Cup first, and why Alexi left Padova during Serie A’s golden era. Finally, in One for the Road, the new Pulisic documentary sparks major reactions from Christian Pulisic, Tim Weah, and even Mark Pulisic about criticism from USMNT alumni. Alexi weighs in… and trust us, you’ll want to hear this one.
