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

podcast. When 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 about

MLS is back and it actually is back this week. We'll be talking a little bit about

the challenge cup when it comes to NWSL.

Marenio, you can't go wrong with talking about a little Jose,

and his comments about a lot of things,

including VAR.

Manchester United, speaking of being back and big and bold again,

by our Munich, Christian Polisic,, and so much more. But first joining me as always, my friend, my colleague, my guiding light, David Mossy, a soccer savant and a fox soccer researcher and writer Extraordinare Mossy how are you on this Monday July 6th of the year

20.

You look great and I know some people watch this show some people listen

insignia on the top here and it's a little it's actually to be quite honest it's a whole lot nicer than the

the previous hats that we've seen you. What are you wearing? My mother sent me a

package recently and included in that package was this hat which she bought it.

It is actually Novak Jokovich hat.
