I went to Leverkusen, and the first day I was there, nobody passed me the ball. I'm like, why are they not passing me the ball at 16 years old? And he goes, why would they want you to succeed? That versus a college environment, totally different. Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim, presented by Volkswagen.
Volkswagen has long been a supporter of soccer in America and has proudly been a partner of U.S. Soccer for the past five years. Timmy, we're back, back at it. For everyone's knowledge, we are recording this on Valentine's Day. Yeah, we are. You got plans tonight?
Um, I am going to go to dinner and then I'm going to be in bed because I have to be up at 3 30 AM for studio. So it's going to be more like a lunch than a dinner.
Fair enough. You, we've got, uh, no kiddos don't exist today. We're going to a spa, getting massages, going to dinner. So I'm not a big fan of these like made up holidays, but to get away from the kids, I'll do anything.
So did you get away from the kids when you were skiing or you brought them with you?
No, he took them with us. Are they any good? Yeah. Kids get good fast. Yeah, quick, man. It's amazing. I'm scared to death to ski. Because they're like, their learning curve is so steep. So like once they get it, bang, they go. They're so good. It was good. Happy Valentine's Day, bud. You too, bud. All right. Follow us, as always, Unfiltered Soccer.
