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

podcast, a special live State of the Union. We are coming to you post USA

versus Ghana, a demolition of Ghana by the US.

So we're gonna wrap up that game and wrap up this window.

So include a little bit about the Germany game.

As always, I got my friend, my colleague, my guiding light,

David Mossy with us. He's co-hosting with me today. If you want to

participate and I hope that you do, just hit that little button, a little blue light will show up. Let me know that you do want to say something. Hopefully when I call you up you have something interesting and entertaining to say. Hopefully you do it in an efficient manner. We do not want any filibustering here. Don't

bore us, get to the chorus so we can get as many people in as possible. And yes,

we're going to focus on this window, but the floor is open to anything soccer-wise.

I guess soccer and life and anything in between that you want to talk about.

And this will be in your State of the Union Podcasts' feed as well, another show that we're going to do tomorrow.

We're just cranking out the content.

How you doing my friend?

All good, Dave?

I am doing well.

What a performance.

What a performance.

What a performance, yes. So listen, I think that you would agree with me that there is a danger, I don't think anybody on this live call would disagree that there is a danger of putting too much into this game.

It has to be said, and I don't think I'm saying anything that anybody that watched the game

doesn't agree with that was not a good opponent there were times where I

thought hmm maybe we should have scheduled sink kitss and Nevis. I don't know, but that was not a good opponent. That was not an opponent that I think we benefit too much from analyzing the game.
