On a new episode of State of the Union, Alexi Lalas and David Mosse dive into a big weekend of topics and touch on Pulisic's winner in the Derby della Madonnina, Malik Tillman's Bundesliga brilliance, and Tim Weah's Ligue 1 goalazo.

We hit the MLS Cup Playoffs where Messi made more history, NYCFC snuck past Philly, and Vancouver outlasted LAFC in a wild match. In #AskAlexi we field questions including “who is the real leader for the USMNT?” And in One For The Road, we ponder a question about next summer's World Cup: why isn't Washington, D.C. a host city?

We break down a packed weekend across the soccer world:

Send us a textLAFC's 2025 run comes to an end in the Western Conference Semis. Battling back from down 2-0, LAFC leveled things at the death with an incredible free-kick strike from Son Heung-min. Despite the Whitecaps going down to 10 men, and then 9, LAFC's chances either connected with the woodwork or went wide. The match would be lost in penalties, as both Sonny and Mark Delgado missed their chances and LAFC fell on kicks, 4-3. The Steve Cherundolo era is officially over. 

It's over. In a match that mirrored our season, the team had a first half to forget, and a superhero named Son Heung-min who turned things around in the second half and made us believe in miracles. Unfortunately it wasn't enough, and PKs went to Vancouver. Not to be outdone, we decided that maybe if we livestream long enough, we can change reality. In the end, our own extra time meant nothing. But it was still a good time.
