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

podcast presented by State Farm. We come to you as we have for the last

a month or so here from Doha Qatar at our Fox Sports set as we continue on with the World Cup.

Before we get to the soccer, I just wanted to mention once again, obviously the news of Grant Wall and his death has hit

us all heart here at the World Cup as it is hit around the world for all of his

friends and the soccer world especially the

American soccer world and I know you'll join me in continuing to send our

condolences and our love to him and his family and I think Rob Stone did a

wonderful job throughout the day coalescing and expressing all of our

sorrow and sadness at this loss of a true great when it comes to American soccer.

Joining me today is my good friend David Mossy and a

special guest, Landon Donovan. Yeah, a difficult day with regards to the news to Grant Wall.

I know a friend, obviously a colleague of all of ours for a number of years and as I said

just a huge, huge loss.

And he would have loved the games of soccer that we had today and he

debated things on and off the soccer field with him and he loved a good argument and he made incredible points and I think the craziness that we continue to see at this World Cup would have been something that he would have loved to see.

So we're going to get into the soccer.

Obviously two games today and two, again,

crazy nutty games when it comes to the World Cup.

First off, because it's fresh, we just came over from our set over there. France and England. France goes through.

Just in and of itself France beating England isn't necessarily a surprise but I will tell you
