Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are joined by FOX Sports Insider Doug McIntyre to break down which USMNT players could (or should) be on the move this summer. From Matt Turner’s limited minutes to Gio Reyna’s stalled momentum and Johnny Cardoso’s Atletico Madrid links — the guys dig into who needs a fresh start ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

They also dive into the USMNT Training Camp roster updates. Walker Zimmerman, Nathan Harriel, and Paxten Aaronson will join the squad, as Folarin Balogun and others step out due to injuries. Is it still “Title or Bust” for the United States, or have the expectations shifted?

The show continues with a look around the global game. The Nations League Final Four is set with Germany facing Portugal and Spain taking on France, while South America gets heated in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying. On the women’s side, the USWNT rolled past China in a 3–0 win led by Catarina Macario and Sam Coffey, with another friendly coming up against Jamaica.
Mosse breaks down the latest club results, including PSG and Cruz Azul’s domination in their respective continental titles matches. Back stateside, LAFC clinched a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup with a comeback win over Club América. Messi put on a clinic in the MLS as Inter Miami crushed the Crew, LA Galaxy snapped a 17-match winless streak, and D.C. United pulled off a big road upset over Cincinnati.

Listeners chime in during #AskAlexi, with questions about Alexi’s coaching aspirations and 1994 hairstyle promises. To wrap the pod, Alexi shares a surprise with Mosse from his weekend event with USSF.
