When it's all set and done and there was a new President of the United States Soccer Federation come Saturday,

I hope that we can at least all come together and recognize it's still got a lot of work to do on and off the field and we'll go onward and upward from there.

Hello sunshine and welcome to the State of the Union.

This is a podcast that looks at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens

I am good Alexi, I am excited to be here. Thank you for the kind introduction and I am dressed for the occasion.

Yeah, let's do it. All right. On this podcast, we are always going to start with my
