The pace last night that the U.S.

Comments lighting up right now as we are live.

Now, if you watch MOS, you know this man's voice is also a voice on SiriusXM, and he's got a brand new book out.
He's a caretaker of the sport in Kansas City, which is the American heartland and the heartbeat of soccer.
His new book, Perfect Pitch, How Kansas City Became the Heart of American Soccer and Landed the World Cup.
Nate, I've known you for several years.
You are always the optimist when it comes to the U.S.
men's national team.
