The MLS playoff picture is clearing up as teams race to the finish. Austin and Nashville squared off in the 2nd MVP battle this season. Has Hany Mukhtar wrapped it up? We also dive into all of the squads on the playoff line. Will Miami keep this run of form going and make their first-ever postseason appearance? On the international front, the Jordan Pefok debate rages on as he scored over the weekend for Bundesliga-leading Union Berlin... while Ricardo Pepi bagged his first goal in 30 matches. Juventus kept their poor form going... is it time to hit the panic button? We also break down the epic Club America vs Chivas match and the latest surrounding duel-national prospect Alejandro Zendejas. In the #AskAlexi segment, we chat about Chelsea and Chicago Fire keeper Gabriel Slonina.
