- Alexi Lalas and David Mosse Kick off the podcast with a look at the USMNT game vs. El Salvador and take a deep dive of where this leaves the national team ahead of Qatar. Then we look at how Costa Rica qualified to the 2022 World Cup and why we’re happy to see another CONCACAF team in the tournament. Later we breakdown England’s historic loss against Hungary and the rest of the action in the UEFA Nations League. We also covered Mane’s move to Bayern, Pogba’s return to Juve, and the rest of the transfers in Europe. The guys answered your questions about 2026 World Cup venues, MLS’s Apple TV deal, and if the 1994 USA denim jerseys are ever coming back in #AskAlexi. Finally Alexi ends the show with his One for the Road about his travels to Zurich Switzerland and the FIFA Next 90 program.

Who is your pick to win the 2022 World Cup?
Iran 🇮🇷
🇩🇪
Brazil 🇧🇷!
@A H 😂😂😂 keep
Dreaming not being mean but it is the truth
Japan 2026 🏆
If FIFA wants to show off: SOFI
If FIFA wants classical nostalgia: AZTECA
i guess they will send final to met life stadium
@Luis lmao so true no one is talking about raiders stadium🤣🤣🤣
Angel Solis lmaooo who’s talking about the raiders stadium bro lol azteca ain’t getting it
I want Aztec but Lowkey US might host the final
New history in another stadium baby!!
If we are talking pure football history than it has to be Azteca stadium in Mexico for the world cup final.
It would be glorious.
@Valk Storm, I appreciate your opinion. However, if you don’t think FIFA does things for money, you are naive. Take care and good bye.
@Johnny Chegne also I don't think fifa wouldn't want it to be about money more like history they did the same for Russia they didn't use there best stadium that was expensive same goes for Brazil
@Johnny Chegne no one would care tho about the stadium especially half of the usa pitch is turf and the last time that soccer stars did they didn't like it so the finals would be a horrible experience for players
I'm excited for a match up here in Seattle it's gonna be magical
Same
Atlanta makes a lot of sense. Open or closed stadium 🏟 for the final plus it’s a wide pitch.
What do you think of Sacramento's run into the US Open Cup semifinal and their current form in this year's USL so far?
The Offer is Brilliant!
it’ll most likely be at the SoFi
Yup
Who hosts the final is an interesting guess ...
SoFi and ATT are actually narrower pitches than Mercedes-Benz.
Do you go for that hundred thousand people, or the 77+ yd wide pitch?
@Jonathan Deitch and while that was remarkable forethought by Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank in respects to the club, it certainly didn’t help them for attendance purposes.
There is a reason AT&T Stadium is considered “The Cathedral of Modern Sport”. While MBS is sexier, AT&T has similar amenities with a much larger capacity and a more preferable time zone to cater to European TV audiences.
It just makes sense to have the Final in Arlington over Atlanta or any other city in the United States. Logistics, capacity, hotel accommodation, prior FIFA history, and relentless commitment from the Dallas Sports Commission make Dallas the crown jewel of FIFA’s 2026 global spectacle.
@rantanamo to some extent, yes. They can reach FIFA standard widths.
MBS is actually rather wide at 77yds, it was built that way to accommodate the fast attacking soccer that Atlanta United intended to field
ATT addressed pitch size and capacity in their bid. That's why they are in talks for the final.
LA or Atlanta will probably host the final
FIFA Most likely decision: New York on Metlife because is the capital of the world and the most well-known city out of the three countries
FIFA if it wants to show off: Los Angeles and SOFI Stadium
FIFA if it wants to surprise people: Toronto..BMO field
FIFA if it wants to relive the past: Mexico city Azteca stadium
Toronto's BMO field has no capacity to host the final.
@Juan Carlos Huaylla oh ok my bad lol I honestly thought u were saying that New York is the capital 🤣🤣🤣
@WolfyEfren10 i don't think anyone said capital of the USA in the conversation. But I know since I live in DC. 😂😂
My guy you do know New York is not the capital of the United States right. it’s actually Washington DC 🤣🤣🤣
@ٌRasheed el Akhlaqsiz UN headquarter man!!!!
If the Final ain’t in the Azteca ima be mad asf
You’re gonna be mad then
It needs to be expanded again to 100,000 capacity if it wants to sway its chances
🇮🇷💚❤💛💙🤝🇲🇽
October Ends - Play Time next reaction 👌🏻
Dallas
🇮🇷💚❤🤝🇨🇦
Only one game in Florida SMH
MetLife or AT&T Stadium for the final.
Mexico 2026
🇮🇷💚❤💙🤝🇺🇸
Here's a suggestion for you. Play Time by October Ends 👈
Peaky Blinders and The Offer are W series
ATT stadium
It better not be in cali lol
What has Jesus Ferreira really done to earn the job?
He has missed few clear cut chances which we expect him to convert some day. As we talk about other striker they dont even come close to those missing chance of Ferreira.
It'll probably be SoFi 🏟
NYC baby
first
