My friends, flossing is an important, important thing in life.

Teach your children well at an early age that they need to floss. Hello, Sunshine. I'm Alexi Lalas, and welcome.

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 messy leaving, question mark, Concaf Champions Cup, Copa del Rey craziness, blood sweat and tears,

Milan in crisis, Mossie's Oscar picks, facial hair, MLS player winning a boulogne de ore,

again, question mark, the dual national reality, future of college soccer, BELSA, BS, and so much more.

David Mosse, a soccer savant, and a Fox Soccer researcher and writer extraordinaire.

Mosse Aided on this Wednesday, February 26th in the year 2025?
