Hello Sunshine I'm Alexi Lollis and welcome to the State of the Union Podcast where 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, well, US Men's National Team, Gervais, World Cup qualifying,

Carlin, Canadian revolt, messy fire,

Rinaldo return fire, transfer window news,

Neymar Mockery, Macario, let's see, other stuff, so much other stuff, and so much more.

But first joining me as always is my friend, my colleague, my guiding light, David Mossy.

A soccer savant and a fox soccer researcher and writer

Extraordinar Mossy how are you doing on this what are we looking at here Monday

June 6th doing well we were just together for several hours and now we're apart

We were we are recording this as you can hear remotely.

Apologies if they are necessary. I don't necessarily think they are.

Hopefully you can hear us clearly and you will forgive us. We are in the midst. We are knee-deep in Nations League coverage

which means that we are in each and every day doing a game and there's other games going on at the same time but it cuts right into

the moment in Mondays where we usually are able to record at the studios in in

Los Angeles and so we have to come home and we just do it this way so this will

this will happen for the next few weeks but it's good to see you anyway I saw

you earlier for our production meeting and then you were in my ear as we continued on with our coverage today

of Nations League which you can continue to find all week on Fox and next week.

So all sorts of stuff going on here.

Massey, did you see anything?

We did the special pod midweek last week, not emergency pod,

but just a special mini pod that people got so
