  • Chapter Sixteen: Alexi Lalas (with Alexi Lalas)
    Founding Futbol

    There were so many factors that made the 1994 World Cup a success. Great marketing. Success on the pitch for the US Men's National Team. And, importantly, a roster full of personalities to whom America could uniquely connect. There's probably no better example of that than Alexi Lalas . The larger-than-life personality looked like a rock star with long red hair, and became indispensable for his play on the field as well. Lalas, now a broadcaster for Fox Sports , joined Founding Futbol to talk about how he combined his love for music with soccer and considered himself an entertainer, first, on the field. He also shares memories from his time at Rutgers, how he progressed to the USMNT, what it was like playing in the 1994 World Cup and how he transitioned into broadcasting. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

  • Bonus Episode: "He always dreamed big" ft. Alexi Lalas
    Humans United FC

    In this bonus episode of the podcast, Alexi Lalas, former USMNT & MLS player (New England, Kansas City, LA & the MetroStars) shares his perspectives on the early days of MLS. Alexi reflects on where we've been and where we're going. He reflects on his own experience with the 'Beckham Experiment' back in the '00's and how it corresponds with what we're witnessing with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami today. Most importantly, Alexi shares his memories of Doug Hamilton. Doug, who helped build such a dominant 2001 Miami Fusion. Doug, who inspired Chris Henderson and Garth Lagerwey to have the front office careers that they've had. Doug, who helped shape the fabric of Major League Soccer. Alexi takes time to recount a memorable time in MLS' history. Enjoy! ** Announcing the FIRST EVER #miamifusion reunion and live podcast recording of '25 for 25: The story of the Miami Fusion from those who lived it'. ** Mickey Byrnes Irish Pub in Hollywood, FL has been gracious enough to host us down at their venue on Friday, October 6 from 8-9:30pm ET GRAB YOUR TICKETS AT THE LINK BELOW! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/miami-fusion-reunion-live-podcast-recording-tickets-650390564687 In 2001, despite putting together one of the best seasons in MLS history (at that point and arguably since), MLS made the decision to fold both the Fusion and their Florida neighbors, the MLS original franchise, Tampa Bay Mutiny. While MLS soccer has returned to Miami in the form of David Beckham's Inter Miami, much has been discussed of "what could've been?" Had the Miami Fusion been allowed to stay and build. Indeed, what WOULD a Miami Fusion look like in 2023? This podcast tells the story of the Miami Fusion through the voices of those who actually lived it. 25 interviews across 25 episodes charting the good, the bad, and the unbelievable.

  • RATT Discussion with Alexi Lalas - Ep259
    Decibel Geek Podcast

    Soccer legend Alexi Lalas joins the guys this week for a RATT Discussion ; breaking down all eight studio albums and discussing the history of the band. RATT was one of the most notable bands to emerge from the burgeoning Sunset Strip era of the early 1980's. From the self-titled EP that earned them a roster spot on Atlantic Records to the breakthrough success of Out of the Cellar, RATT let the world know early and often that they were a force to be reckoned with. Guitarists Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini formed a tandem that would write some of hard rock's most memorable riffs. Bobby Blotzer and Juan Croucier combined for a powerful rhythm section. And Stephen Pearcy topped things off with a sleazy look and vocal delivery that made RATT stand out from the pack. RATT Discussion with Alexi Lalas In this nearly 2-hour music and discussion talk, Alexi Lalas explains how he first discovered RATT as a youngster in suburban Detroit. In addition to the muscial influence the band had on him, he shares stories of how the band's fashion sense rubbed off on him. It's no doubt a fact that RATT 's influence would help inspire Alexi to have one of the most unique looks in the world of sports in the 1990's. Alexi Lalas Your three hosts break down every album including the often-underrated Dancing Undercover as well as Detonator . They also discuss later albums including the 1999 self-titled album that sported a different sound than what most RATT fans were accustomed to. 2010 saw RATT return to form with Infestation ; a solid slab of classic-sounding RATT material that the rock world took to immediately. In this long-form episode, Alexi shares his thoughts on these albums as well as the situation concerning Bobby Blotzer 's new version of RATT , the legal wrangling that's been taking place over the last year, and the recent Monsters of Rock Cruise performance of the remaining members of RATT . It's a solid block of RATT and Roll . We hope you enjoy RATT Discussion with Alexi Lalas and SHARE with a friend! Buy Music! RATT Alexi Lalas More Alexi Lalas!
