I played in the media game for the Kansas City Current had a media game, and that was back when they were playing at Sporting Park.

And at the time I was coaching my daughter's team, the Glowing Dragons, and we had the whole team, like we had a group outing.

And I was always telling the kids, you know, I was pointing out all these tactics to them, the whole first half and things to watch.

And then all of a sudden I realized as I go out there on the field for the media game, I better not embarrass myself in front of these girls or they're never going to listen to anything I have to say again.

And Dave Bortrick was man marking me all over the field.

And I found some space in the midfield.

I got to turn on him.

I picked my head up and I dropped a perfect pass into Cody Bradley, who nodded it home for a goal.

And our team won one nil.

And it was at the opposite end of the pitch.

And instead of celebrating with my teammates, I ran all the way down to

To the cauldron where the glowing dragons were, and I celebrated with the glowing dragons the game-winning assist in the media game for the KC Current.

That was the best soccer moment of my life.

I'll have to send you guys the video of it.

I wanted the goal, but Dave Borcher just was all over it.

Hey, everybody, get out there and watch the game somewhere.

You know, get with some other Americans and get swept up in the collective emotion of it.

Whether you're going to FanFest, the P&L, one of the venues around town, just get out there and watch the game with people because it'll help you feel it when you watch it.

So that's my thing.

Thanks for having me.
