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

US men's national team as we are on an international break.

Spanish drama, Balone to Or, messy, Americans abroad, Watergate, and so much more.
