Welcome to a special edition of the Sports Illustrated Planet Football

podcast. I'm Grant Wall and I was part of a panel discussion very

recently at the American Outlaws Rally in Austin, Texas.

American Outlaws you probably know is the biggest fan group for the United States

national teams.

They've got nearly 200 chapters now across the country,

more than 30,000 members.

And I had spoken at their first rally in Las Vegas

back in 2011 when I was running for FIFA president. They were very

supportive of me then. We shot a video at the Caesar's Palace Pool in fact or the

fountain. And so they had another rally and they invited me again and I was on a panel with

Tab Ramos, Christine Lilly, and Jimmy Conrad, Tab Ramos, the U-20 coach for the U.S.

Assistant to Jorgen-Klinzman,

former terrific player, obviously for the U.S. national team.

Christine Lilly, one of the greats of all time

for the US women's team, who's now an assistant coach

for the University of Texas women's team.

And Jimmy Conrad, who played in World Cup 2006, former MLS Defender of the Year,

who has his own YouTube channel these days.

The panel discussion was also moderated by Chris Donahoe of the American outlaws.

He did a very good job. A lot of interesting conversation here. Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you.
