Rivolino, Brazilian legend, is my dad's favorite all-time player.

So the idea that you're ahead of him in any context must nauseate my father.

This makes me so happy. 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. This show will be talking

the US women's national team reboot, UCL slash CCC.

Polisic, Kucho, Hold in Tears, Eclipse, The Boss, Anatably of a Fall, Anataby of a Dive, the PL Title Race,

Emmala's best signing and so much more.

But first join me as always, my friend, my colleague, my my guiding light David Mossy a soccer

savant and a fox soccer researcher and writer extraordinary

Mossy how you doing on this Monday April 8th in the year 2024 I'm doing well I'm dying to know how the college visits went.

Is there a leader in the clubhouse for your daughter?

There are multiple ones.

I'll hold off on that for a little bit here.

But we did. We had a good time out on the East Coast my

daughter and I traipced all over the place saw a bunch of different places and again

these are all first world problems for her but at some point here in the next few weeks she's going to have to come

to a decision I think we've narrowed it down she's actually with my wife right now in the

Midwest looking at some too so she's got a a lot of options out there so she's a very fortunate young lady and

whatever she picks is going to be fine but it was fun it was great to spend time with her

it was great to go around that the East Coast and have a good time.

What'd you get up to my friend?
