The amount of complaining about VA are being used to monitor goalkeeper movement on penalty kicks is mind-blowing.

If you're unable to understand or unwilling to adjust to the laws either existing or new.

That's not on FIFA. It's not on the referees. It's not on society.

It's on you. So my advice? Stop breaking the law!

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

We look at the beautiful game on and off the field with the lens of red white and blue colored

glasses and once again we are joining you from Paris France France the site of the

Women's World Cup. We have just completed the group stage. We'll be talking about

that and other things going on in the American soccer community. But joining me as always

my friend my colleague my guiding light Monsieur David Mossier soccer savant and a fox soccer researcher and writer extraordinary. Monsieur Mossy, how are you here in Paris?

Trevient, and by the way, savant is a French word.

So we don't realize in our American lingo every day

how often we use words like encore

and they come from French language.

Wonderful, an educational podcast to boot.

Okay. How is things going here? Are you enjoying it?

I am loving it. I told you last time that Paris is my favorite city in the world and

I was determined to make the most of it and I really have.

I've put on a sightseeing clinic here.

I feel like I'm Clark Griswold and everybody else is like that couple from Akron.

It's a very obscure movie reference, but hopefully somebody else gets it.

So give us the highlights of what you've seen so far.
