Alexi Lalas’ State of the Union Podcast

Nothing new or interesting to say. Devoid of any insightful analysis. Much better soccer podcasts out there.

I looked forward to each episode during the 2026 World Cup. Great repartee among the knowledgeable hosts. Alexi is charismatic. Odd omission: not a word about Argentina’s behavior after losing the final: turning their backs during the Award ceremony, attacking Spanish players by the losing Argentine players and an assistant coach. Nor about Trump’s role in publicly pushing for a FIFA review of the controversial red card.

I had so much fun following the World Cup with this podcast. Keep up the great work Mosse. I’ll be sticking around the tent for sure.

The one and only podcast I made sure to listen to every day throughout the entire World Cup, the two of you do a great job at providing anecdotal tidbits, great analysis, and some fun pop culture moments. Love the pod and hope to keep listening after the World Cup wraps.

I was a fan at the beginning of the pod years ago. Lately, and actually for several months now? I started to feel I was hearing someone that just likes to hear himself speak. Like a Pharisee, Alexi is a verbal bully and you can never notice it in how Mosi treads lightly when talking to him and agreeing in pretty much everything he says. It’s like hearing a bully make an insane take and asking his pet if he agrees with him. I know this is drama for the sake of entertainment. But I have grown so discouraged by this fool and the damage he is creating in the new generation of players. Reminds me of the orange illness we have in this country’s top highest house.
