A New Era Begins: Grading Pochettino's First Post-World Cup U.S. Squad

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! The first post 2026 FIFA World Cup USA roster was announced and it is full of young and exciting players! Alexi and Mosse are joined by former USMNT player Sacha Kljestan to break down the squad. The highlight of this roster was the inclusion of 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan and the absence of Christian Pulisic. The three discuss Sacha’s favorite USMNT prospects currently playing in MLS and debate what Pochettino should do at the goalkeeper position. After Sacha says goodbye, Alexi and Mosse wrap up all the Europa League action that saw Chris Richards score for Crystal Palace and Weston McKennie add an assist for Juventus. Tyler Adams and Bournemouth took down Pellegrino Matarazzo and Real Sociedad in a battle of Yanks. We then preview the upcoming Madrid Derby before getting to #AskAlexi where we discuss whether these coming international window matches are must wins and if Alexi could beat Zlatan in a race. We end the show with One for the Road where Alexi and Mosse break down Cavan Sullivan’s pre-game playlist. CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Intro1:18 - Mauricio Pochettino drops 28-man fall window roster2:51 - Sacha…
