Hello Sunshine, I'm Alexi Lollis and welcome to the State of the Union

podcast where we look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of

red white and blue-colored glasses. This week we'll be talking of course

MLS Cup Final. It is done, it is dusted, we have a champion, we'll be talking

all about our trip to Columbus, Ohio, we'll be talking about Champions League, the Sweet 16 is out,

some tasty match-ups there. We're talking about Jordan Morris and possibly him

being on the move. Our good friend Stuart Holden's going to make the show. We're going to're talking about him actually. We're talking about

Eric Rudolph and Richard Jewell and so much more. But first joining me as always my friend, my

colleague, my guiding light, light David Massey a soccer

sauerk mossie how are you on this Monday December 14th in the year

20 I am doing well, you know, I must say I considered wearing that same

hard hat for this podcast, but then I thought it might be a little too cheesy and that has never

been a concern for you, my friend friend so you went all in with it but I do have that same

hard hat that you're sporting right there you want cheese this is where you come my friends I will give it to you

all right for myageosh. Yeah so to you know not bury the lead here

We went to Columbus this past weekend and we'll talk a little bit more about our our trip we get into the MLS Cup roundup, but we did get a tour of their new stadium and they gave us these wonderful shiny crew hard hats here.

So I thought that I would wear it in honor of the champion Columbus crew

and what's coming later and we'll talk more about that in a second.

Massey, if you watched anything or seen anything,

listen to anything lately that tickles your fancy.

Not really.

I must say, my 2020 might be done on that front.
