Reyna vs Luna, Rating U.S. World Cup jerseys, Berhalter > Pulisic?

Alexi Lalas and David Moss are back with a new episode of State of the Union! In today’s episode, the pair break down the USA dropping its new Stars and Stripes jerseys that will feature in this summer’s World Cup. Will they go down as all-time classics? Alexi says their legacy will be determined by how the teams play in them. Afterwards, Alexi and Mosse bounce around Europe, touching on Folarin Balogun scoring AGAIN for Monaco, Tanner Tessmann getting a start at center back for Lyon, and Malik Tillman and Leverkusen getting a draw vs Bayern. We then get some injury updates on Tyler Adams and Sergiño Dest and whether or not their current injuries will keep them out of World Cup action. We then hit on MLS where Sebastian Berhalter and Vancouver gave James Rodriguez and Minnesota a rude welcome to MLS, Josh Sargent made his league debut, and Diego Luna finally returned from injury. In #AskAlexi, we ponder who should actually be taking set pieces for the USA and in One For The Road, Alexi gives his power rankings of the top 10 fan bases in the World Cup.
