Hello. Hello Sunshine I'm Alexi Lollis and welcome to the State of the Union

podcast. We look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens

of red white and blue-colored glasses. This show will be talking

the US men's national team roster drop for this upcoming window. Soccer X, the

USL final, Rapino, Robbie Williams, and so much more.

But first joining me as always, my friend, my colleague,

my guiding light, David Mossier soccer,

Savant and a Fox soccer researcher and writer Extra-Nia.

Mossy, how you doing on this Tuesday, November 14th in the year

2023.

I am doing well and you know it occurred to me right as Leonel messy leaves

Miami to go represent Argentina in World Cup qualifying, you arrive, so it's kind of a wash start power-wise.

Exactly. I mean, I am here to fill some very, very big shoes, but I think that I have done it so far admirably.

And to your point, yes, I am down here in Miami for SoccerX, this yearly convention of the minds out there when it comes to the soccer world.

It's a global real international type of thing.

I saw Don Garber speak this morning.

I'm doing some different panels and stuff like that and so you know a Ted

talky type of conference and then also all sorts of people selling their wares

and the soccer business that is out there so it's been it's been fun we've had

some good meals which is why I'm coming to you today, today from

Zoom. But the show must go on and we will continue on with the state of the Union. So I appreciate you continuing to tune in if there is any type of audio

quality issue out there. It's only because I am once again coming from Zoom.
