USA: Red Bull New York President Alexi Lalas (ISI)

Alexi Lalas is getting ready for quite the challenge. Despite how easy it may seem, guzzling a can of Red Bull on national television can be very treacherous. Mess this up and the ramifications could be devastating.

As many soccer fans in the US know, during the pregame ESPN broadcast of last week’s Western Conference finals, Lalas stated that if the New York Red Bulls beat Real Salt Lake, he would shotgun a can of Red Bull during the MLS Cup Final broadcast.

Now, Lalas must deal with the consequences.

Goal.com caught up with the 38-year-old former US international this week in Los Angeles, where he has been immersed in, um, training for his nationally televised shotgunning event. We received unprecedented behind-the-scenes access.
