That doesn't mean that it's without controversy or criticism.

But just because you disagree with the call

doesn't mean VAR didn't work.

Hello, Sunshine, and welcome to the State of the Union

Podcast, where we looked at the beautiful game

through blends of red, white, and blue colored glasses.

Once again, we are doing a guerrilla version of this,

in that myself and my good friend David Mossy are in different places. We come to you as

we have for the last couple of weeks from Russia, knee-deep in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

As I mentioned, Mossy is here.

I am thoroughly enjoying our first day off of this tournament,

this wonderful city we're in, good times.
