Hello,

Hello everybody, and welcome to the Soccer show, your first episode of the week.

I think so, Joe Lowry.

Is that how we're doing this?

Now that we did the Friday show, you and Graham talking about USA Turkey, it was a lovely time for the two of you to spend some time together.

But now it's time to talk Major League Soccer.

Are you ready, Mr. Club World Cup Lowry? I'm ready. First show of the week, we are sprinting into the summer of soccer as the Gold Cup gets near and near the Club World Cup gets near and near. Oh, and there were MLS games this past weekend. Let's do this thing. Yeah, we're going to talk Club World Cup. We're going to talk about one MLS team in particular, maybe do some list your question, answering. To do so, it's myself. It's Joe and it's New England superfan himself. Jeff Ruter. Hello, Jeff. It's funny because I have a tattoo that's vaguely related to the rev, so I guess you could argue that like I didn't know that that they let you get

Caleb Porter's face tattoo on you yeah yeah just his coaching dossier which is just like

tackle harder and win a game you know is that why it's adjacent because it started out as

Portland and then you've just right to keep making amendments as we've gone that I like shaded it

yellow when he was with Columbus which I think somehow people have already kind of forgotten. Stop teasing us, Jeff. What's the tattoo? Yeah, right? Dogzo. It's dogso. So the original of this was Pablo Mara and I, in like, the dregs of 2020 coverage before MLS is back, we're looking over some trademarks that U.S. soccer entities have lodged.

And so these are like viable active trademarks. And there was one for the term Boston Revolution,

which I guess the revs were almost named. And they needed to do a placeholder photo. And so

they had this really goofy cartoon dog that has sunglasses on and is prancing away like devil

make hair it's like that life is good t-shirt campaign that was everywhere in the 90s and

2000s with like the stick figure smiles with the big the big smiles not just like pencil

sketches it's that art style and it has never been used by the club. No one that we could contact

who worked for the club in 94 and 95 knew anything about this dog. And so naturally, the two

of us in Meg Linahan, and since then, at least half a dozen other people across the United States

and Canada, have decided to get dogs on their bodies. So go revs, I guess.

Did we, did we know that the dog was named dogso or was that a creative soccer name for a creative soccer? Yeah, this was a stray.

This was an unnamed stray dog.
