Now Bruce is back in Major League Soccer as a new sporting director and head coach of the New England Revolution

to suggest as some have that the Major League Soccer game with its constantly evolving rules, regulations, and trends has passed

him by and his 67-year-old brain couldn't possibly comprehend or navigate the current system?

Well that's ridiculous. Hello Sunshine, I'm Alexi Lollis and welcome to the State of the Union Podcast.

We look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red, white and blue colored glasses.

As you heard, we'll be talking about the

Return of Bruce. We'll have our Mossy Makes the Case segment talking about

evaluating managers in the age of the Super Club. We'll be answering your questions

in our hashtag Ask Alexi segment with questions along the lines of Paul Buns, so much more.

extraordinary and a huge fan of Game of Thrones.

binge it from start to finish, therefore it is open to me, so much so that I'm

already on episode six.

I started it, my wife and I started watching it.
