USMNT Nations League 3-peat, USA vs Mexico best rivalry in the world?



USMNT win the CONCACAF Nations League dos a cero! Alexi Lalas and David Mosse recap the match and share their thoughts. Gregg Berhalter nailed this roster, giving Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna the start both finding the back of the net. Canada and Costa Rica also booked their tickets to Copa America and Olympic groups are set for Paris 2024.

In MLS, Cincinnati takes the top spot in the East. Lewis Morgan and the New York Red Bull dominate Inter Miami with Messi out for the international window, and Charlotte upset the 2023 MLS Cup Champions with two late goals.

To wrap the show, the guys dive into the USA vs Mexico rivalry. Things got intense during Sunday’s match as Americans were covered in beer and blood. Is this the best rivalry in the world?

  1. Come on, Alexi! If any coach had these results since taking over last June, he would be under tremendous scrutiny. The fact that it is Berhalter makes it worse because he is not new to the team. With GB 2.0, there are higher expectations and it is warranted to have a shorter leash. He rarely puts our best 11 on the field and he forces a game plan that does not play to our players’ strengths. We struggle when we should dominate. We win bc of our players raw talent and luck. The players deserve better, we deserve better. Berhalter will not change and to expect that is the definition of insanity.

  2. The usa lost to trindad and tobago and were miraculously saved by a jamaican center back who clearly bet on the usa…. Now the americans beat the worst mexican side in 30 years with a clearly superior roster and Alexis is acting like GGG is Pep

  3. I've disliked Lalas on and off since an MLS New England Revolution kids camp in the 90s but this was some of his best content. Always give people a second chance…

  4. I think the adidas news is interesting because it’s a German company whereas Nike is a US company. Pretty crazy to think the German National team decided to no longer support their own country’s flagship brand.

  5. Great thoughts Alexi around 27:00 on the fans yelling out what they do. Don’t punish the players by giving power to the fans to effect the game. The fans stifled what I saw to be a pressured comeback by el tri right there at the end. Hence, the many Matt Turner goal kicks! He wouldn’t have been kicking that ball so many times if el tri hadn’t been putting the pressure on. Also, to your point of the fans reacting out of frustration, they even started yelling it at Ochoa when he’d kick the ball… I’ve been to a few LigaMX games (arriba los Santos!) and that word was yelled, in what I thought was a jokingly/tradtitional way, during every opposing goal kick. Not justifying it at all but I wonder if as discussed here, it is given more clout than it needs to.

  6. Ronald Koeman style goal of Tyler Adams
    I do see Gregg Belhalter on US Bench in World Cup 2026 no matter what happens in Copa America
    USMNT Soccer People can Confidently Say it. US is One of The Best Teams in the American Continent, South and North, together with Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay & Mexico

  7. The Chris Richards analysis is correct. I sat 10 rows up on his side touchline in the first half. He is tentative on the ball, struggles to push us forward, looks to have no independent ideas beyond what Tim and Matt tell him to do. Good in the air but he still has work to do.

    Haji was great for this style of play vs Mexico. He’s not afraid to play back to goal and putting a body to their center backs and making it tough on them.

  8. Thats right you Behrhalter haters out there!!!! Berhalter is sooooo goood that he was able to get a Jamaican player to score an own goal in literally the last minute of the game to keeps us alive. Give me a break!!!!! 2-0 vs Mexico is a given now. Players obviously step up in rivalry games.

  9. @45:33 when you talking about Messi- "quote on quote of injury…" Just proofs of your play arrogant. Messi is truly having muscle issues. I know ur mouth is on ur face. But fact check is super important for this country

  10. The discourse around Tyler Adams playing, and then starting, wasn't about his form – it was about the USMNT cycle being the source of another injury for a guy that's played <45 minutes in a year.

  11. A CONCACAF trophy is nice but shouldn't we insist on a higher standard? This is the weakest confederation in the world and we play 80% of our games at home. Why can't we take the team on the road to find quality opposition, as Klinsmann did? Are we afraid of the answer?

  12. Personally I don't like the CONCACAF Nations League. Playing the same teams in the same confederation doesn't make teams like the U.S.A. any better. I can understand for UEFA where the competition is very high quality. Competitions like U.S. cup should be brought back where weak, mediocre, good, super dope teams should face each other. Until the U.S.A. could be teams like Colombia and Brazil (which who they're going to be their next two friendlies), I'm still going to say "Get rid of Greg Berhalter!".

  13. I was born in Mexico brought to the USA when I was 2 and now I’m 30, I always had a passion for Mexico over USA since 2006 World Cup but I time goes on and It’s hard to not appreciate the good work that the USA has put into growing as a football nation. Gonna be rooting for them in 2024 and 2026

  14. Alexi, love your show man. I am a Mexican-American and root for both teams. The problem I have is Mexico always playing in the US. They never play in Mexico or away in Europe/South America. We all know it’s because of big money. But how about the US? They never play down in South America or in Europe, I feel as if when they do, they’re in for a surprise of their own level playing away. Let’s not get fooled. The problem is that copa America and World Cup are home for the US, so at this moment there’s no need to play outside the US to test their level.

  15. To be honest Alexi this isnt a rivalry anymore, im not American im English (i keep an eye on CONCACAF as i have some American friends, ill root for you guys, unless youre playing England 😂) no but its becoming an exercise in USMNT superiority and i cant see it changing anytime soon, every Mexico game now just shows how far the US has come and how far Mexico has fallen, if i was a Mexican fan id feel cheated by my own federation and the youth development infrastructure, theyve allowed the student to become the master in CONCACAF

  16. Strip wc games from Mexico. It's a rule or its not. If it's not, quit stopping the game. It's dumb and does nothing.

    Also, it's always when they start to lose and start crying and fight like petulant children

  17. We can beat Brasil; they aren't what they used to be. We can beat Argentina if the ref doesn't gift penalty kicks to them. We have the talent but we have to believe we can do it to have a chance.
