## Resource

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! It was the first matchday of the UCL knockout rounds and the games did not disappoint. Alexi and Mosse break down Fede Valverde and Real Madrid running Manchester City off the pitch, PSG breaking it open late vs Chelsea, Tottenham’s absolute nightmare vs Atletico Madrid, Bodø/Glimt continuing their Cinderella run and more! Afterwards, Alexi and Mosse look ahead to the weekend in MLS where James Rodriguez looks set to make his league debut vs Thomas Muller, Michael Bradley and his NYRB squad travel to Toronto where we may see Josh Sargent make his MLS debut as well plus a potential Cavan Sullivan sighting for Philadelphia. In #AskAlexi, Alexi does an unboxing of a classic USA jersey and unveils a melodic secret and in One for the Road, Alexi and Mosse discuss the reports that Noahkai Banks will not be called up for the USA in the March window.
