## Resource

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! This was the first day of simultaneous kickoffs and there was excitement aplenty. In Group A, Mexico finished off a perfect Group Stage with a 3-0 win over Czechia and South Africa stunned South Korea to earn automatic qualification as well. In Group B, Switzerland defeated Canada to earn 1st place but Canada still finished 2nd while Bosnia eliminated Qatar to almost certainly secure a matchup with the USA in the Round of 32. And in Group C we saw Brazil and Morocco advance as first and second. We then looked ahead to the next round of matches and went in-depth on the USA’s meeting with Türkiye and then Alexi finished up with his Moment of the Day.
