Pepi OUT, Sargent ON THE MOVE, McKennie stays HOT

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! We reveal our brand new studio look by discussing Ricardo Pepi’s arm injury, Toronto FC’s bid for Josh Sargent and Macclesfield FC’s historic FA Cup victory over Chris Richards and Crystal Palace. We also break down Weston McKennie scoring for Juventus AGAIN and what the next step in his career might look like. After, Alexi and Mosse discuss Barcelona’s triumph over Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa and Xabi Alonso’s subsequent sacking. In #AskAlexi, Alexi recaps his time at the Mac Hermann award show, answers how Michael Bradley will do as New York Red Bulls manager, and discusses the news that the German national team will be staying at Wake Forest for the upcoming World Cup.
