NYCFC win MLS Cup: How the pigeons took down Portland
Alexi and Mosse kick off the podcast with a recap of the dramatic MLS Cup final between the Portland Timbers and NYCFC. They break down the VAR controversy from Portland’s last minute goal, Sean Johnson’s saves during the tense penalty shootouts, and why NYCFC manager Ronny Deila Striped after winning MLS Cup (10:04). Then the guys breakdown the USMNT’s upcoming game vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina and see which MLS players could break into the main squad. We then switch gears to Europe as we look at all the games around Europe and briefly cover the Liga MX final between Atlas and Leon, but we all know the real story is the fumbled Champions League draw! Alexi and Mosse make their picks for the Round of 16 and give their team rankings (37:18). We answered questions about whether Supporters’ Shield winners should get a bye in MLS Playoffs, why Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic is underrated, and answer if Alexi has ever played a FIFA game in #AskAlexi (56:14). Finally, Alexi caps off the show with a look at who from the next generation can carry the torch after Messi and Ronaldo retire (1:11:21).
