Pulisic's Play Does the Talking, Americans Scoring Abroad, Messi vs. Son
Description
It was a huge opening weekend for Americans abroad. Christian Pulisic marked his AC Milan return with a statement goal, Johnny Cardoso debuted for Atletico Madrid with Mauricio Pochettino watching on, and Josh Sargent stayed red-hot for Norwich City. We’ve also got updates on Ricardo Pepi, Sergiño Dest’s Man of the Match performance, Tyler Adams’ tough opener, and more across Europe.
Back home, MLS brought the drama. Messi returned with a spectacular goal and assist, Minnesota ended Seattle’s scorching run, and questions are swirling around the LA Galaxy’s historic collapse. Fans also weigh in on promotion/relegation and whether MLS substitution rules need to change.
Alexi and Mosse wrap the show with a question on Tim Weah's journey to Europe...did he get there because of his father?
