Hello Sunshine, I'm Alexi Lollis and welcome 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 Lampard and Cat and Manous and the US Men's National Team and Weston and

Chukie and Adidas and NWSL and Brady and so much more.

But first joining me as always.

Oh yes, my friend, my colleague, my guiding light,

David Mossy, a soccer savant and a fox soccer researcher and writer extraordinaire.

Mossy, how are you on this Monday, January 25th in the year 2021?

I am doing well and happy to be back to our normal Monday taping

schedule. Yeah we've been a little off last couple of weeks. Thank you for

indulging us. Some of it just couldn't have been helped, but we appreciate that you rule with the changes.

Speaking of changes, for those that watch this pod, and listen obviously, or maybe just watch it and

mute us, you will notice that I am coming to you from a different

Vista, different surroundings, I'm in the process of moving.

Apologies if this is jarring to you, we're just trying to set it all up, who knows what it's going to look

like and it will change as we go on.

I think I mentioned last week when you move, you just come across so much crap that you accumulate.

And I have used this opportunity to cleanse, literally to cleanse my life and myself of all of this extra baggage and stuff. I've been digitizing stuff.

It's not as if I needed any of this or needed this picture, but I've had it around.

I've come across a lot of memorabilia.

I don't have the time, know, the inclination

to find out if there is somebody out there that would pay for it.
