LIVE Reaction to Messi’s hat trick, Mbappé’s brace, and Haaland’s debut

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! We start where else but with Lionel Messi’s first ever World Cup hat trick in Argentina’s win over Algeria. With his three goals he moved into a tie with Miroslav Klose for the most goals in men’s FIFA world cup history. He was far from the only superstar to shine today though, as Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland scored two goals apiece in wins for France and Norway. After, Alexi and Mosse react to comments from USA manager Mauricio Pochettino about the state of American soccer before previewing the next slate of matches that will see Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal make their tournament debut alongside Harry Kane and England.
