Thursday Pt2: Ali Kreger talks WWC & retirement | Saudi Pro League deep dive | Lukaku angers Inter | Leagues Cup preview (Soccer 7/27/2023)

Part Two of the Morning Footy podcast begins with hosts Susannah Collins, Nico Cantor, Charlie Davies and Alexis Guerreros taking a closer look at the Saudi Pro League teams turning the transfer market on its head (00:16). Just how good are the likes of Al Nassr and is it fair to shame big-name players for taking the money? The crew then preview the day’s Leagues Cup action as Chivas and FC Cincinnati prepare for battle (09:28). Romelu Lukaku may have burnt his bridges to the Inter locker room following his talks with Juventus, but does the Belgian deserve to be vilified (23:55)? And two-time Women’s World Cup champion Ali Kreger joins to discuss the USWNT, Gotham FC and the decision to hang up her cleats at the end of the season (26:28).
