Lalas should definitely challenge Rome to that MMA fight. That could push American soccer over the top. Except the loser should get pelted by Capri Suns by like an audience of 100,000 youth soccer players. Those things freakin hurt if you throw them right.

Alexi Lalas is NOT the voice of American soccer. The fact that he IS the voice of ESPN soccer is proof of that.

The only thing that Alexi could do to redeem himself in my eyes is to challenge Jim Rome to an MMA-style fight – the winner gets to determine the fate of soccer on ESPN, and the loser needs to shotgun a case of Capri Sun. I would pay to watch it.
