Congratulations to

Canada.

He could, when all is said and done, use this to become a great white north legend. 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

ooh Jesse to Canada it's happening it is happening a

Johnny's pay-to-play iron claw arsenal holding on

el-tree blowing up EPL as MLS playoffs,

USL branding, St. Pauli, hell is real,

at least for someone, messy pissed off,

fighting in Canada,

let's see, favorite soccer calls, and so much more but first joining as always my friend my

colleague my guiding light David Mossy a soccer savant and a fox soccer researcher and

writer extraordinary mossy how you doing on this Monday, May 13th in the year 2024?

I'm doing well, you and I are like two ships passing in the night because I returned yesterday from New York back to Los Angeles and I'm told that today you are in New York City.

Yes, for those that are just listening, I am in New York City. You can see I am in my hotel room here. I am en route to a much longer

trip that will take me over to the great country of Germany, where we will be doing for about two weeks

filming some stuff that you will see this summer during our broadcast of the Euro.

So I'm excited about that, but a stop over here in New York to do some promotion

for this summer and so I am coming to you from my

hotel room.

Mossy is manning the ship, the State of the Union ship back there as you can see in our studios.

But I wanted to make sure we did this because there was all sorts of stuff that has happened since our last show including stuff that's happening up to the minute. I mean I was coming in from JFK and there was stuff that was that was going down. Did you watch anything on your travels, my friend?
