## Resource

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! The guys begin with the Copa Del Rey final where Real Sociedad, managed by American Pellegrino Matarazzo, upset Atletico Madrid and in turn making Matarazzo the first ever American manager to win a trophy in one of Europe’s top 5 leagues. After, Alexi and Mosse break down Flo Balogun scoring for Monaco again, Christian Pulisic not scoring for Milan again, Bayern winning the Bundesliga again, and Arsenal potentially bottling the Premier League again. In #AskAlexi, we plug Alexi’s most recent big screen cameo and debate a potential surprise addition to the USA’s World Cup GK corps. In One for the Road, Alexi shouts out the running Lalases who partook in the Boston Marathon.Presented by Zillow #Zillow 0:00 Intro 3:28 US Abroad: Pelligrino Matterazzo makes history8:30 Does Matterazzo want to be the US National Team coach?10:24 Fox Sports FIFA World Cup Roundtables announcement13:51 Balogun extends his scoring record in League 115:04 PSG-Lyon - Tessmann & Co dent PSG title bid16:05 Pulisic’s scoring drought continues17:37 McKennie bags an assist against Bologna19:01 Haji Wright makes team of the year and Coventry secure promotion21:08 Brenden Aaronson assist helps Leeds avoid the drop22:24 Tyler Adams comes off the bench for Bournemouth24:18 Man City tops Arsenal to tighten the EPL race31:32 Bayern Munich clinch the 13th Bundesliga title in 14 years32:47 MLS Recap: Diego Luna scores off a keeper blunder for RSL34:43 Cristian Roldan vs. Johnny Cardoso36:44 Messi brace helps new manager in Miami to settle in38:45 Bruce Arena and San Jose shock LAFC41:35 Ask Alexi: Are you going to be a movie star?49:00 One for the road: The Running of the Lalases Learn more about your ad choices.
