Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new LIVE episode of State of the Union! Today, we break down the thrilling 2-2 draw between the Netherlands and Japan and the electric atmosphere that the match brought with it. After, Alexi and Mosse discuss Germany’s 7-1 romp over Curaçao and if Die Mannschaft are back to their imposing best, and to wrap up the review, we recap the Ivory Coast grabbing three late points from Ecuador.
