Balogun chooses the USMNT, Champions League final is set, and LA Galaxy could win the wooden spoon!

It's been a massive few days for American soccer, with a new striker pledging his future to the national team, the first mid-week action of the MLS season, and another women's league to rival the NWSL! 

Rumors have been swirling for weeks about Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun committing to the USMNT, and it's finally been made official. Christian and Alexis analyze what this decision means for America's future and debate whether it will motivate his competitors for the no. 9 shirt. We also recap the UCL semifinal victories for Inter Milan and Manchester City, whip around Wednesday night's MLS matches, touch on Ivan Toney's gambling suspension, and break down the announcement of the USL Super League. Will a challenger to the NWSL really be good for the women's game, or can it only sew more confusion into a crowded landscape?
