The FC St. Pauly third shirt. What? Amazing shirt. And it was very, very good to me this year. They have three shirts. That's great. They do. That's impressive. You get to the Bundesliga, you know.

Okay, our first question is from JB via email. My youngest son loves soccer. How do I support him going pro and one day earning the Landon Donovan MVP award?

Okay, a question from Katie via email. I've seen a lot of complaints of women's teams hiring people from the men's game and not from within the women's game. What are your thoughts on this? What are the differences between the men's and women's game that you have learned by joining ownerships and by coaching?

Those are two very deep answers to two very deep questions. So I'm going to let you guys move on to anything but soccer. But thanks for that. Thanks, Jordan.

The crest is wild. How was your New Year? It was good. It was nice and quiet.

Actually not quiet. I don't know, Tim, how you felt about this, but we had the craziest thunder and lightning storm for New Year's Eve.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. At first I thought it was fireworks, but then I was like, oh, no, the sky's falling.

Okay, I got a couple of different questions for you. Let's start with one. that references something you were talking about earlier. So we've got a question from Evan via YouTube. He said, do you guys think Anthony Robinson will sign for a big club in the summer? And do you guys rank him in the top three U.S. left backs of all time?

How about a question from Paul via email? When a team is in a bad run of form, how do you know when it's the fault of the players, the manager, or the ownership?

Speaking of managers, here is a question from Leonard via email. David Moyse has been out of a job since leaving West Ham last May. If he were to come work in the U.S., where would be the best place for him?

OK, one last question for you. This one is from Ben via email. And Ben is thinking about the fact that he thinks Everton missed a big opportunity by never properly marketing the club to the U.S. market. And so he wants to know if you guys think TFG will revisit this market with any real strategy now that they have bought the club or has the opportunity been missed?

Well, let's start with the questions that we've gotten so far already. These are all about promotion and relegation. We're staying with the theme this week. So the first one came via YouTube. Someone who's identifying themselves as EGC. EGC. Whatever that means. What does your ideal American soccer landscape look like in 50 years?

If we aren't aiming to build a pyramid, what are we trying to build? And are we done growing? Hmm.

OK, here is a question from Neil via email. How do you feel about so-called yo-yo teams, a label famously put on teams like West Brom who go up and down fairly regularly between the championship and the Premier League? Is there a value in being that type of team or is staying competitive in the championship more beneficial?

Promotion and Relegation with Adam Crafton
So just a follow-up question. Is it a, if promotion and relegation were to be adopted by any league, is that position that those yo-yo teams, is that going to happen in any league?

And a lot of those clubs have a lot of trophies, right.

Okay. This question is from MNB via YouTube in a two tier MLS. If you remove the financial penalty of relegation and split revenues relatively equally across all teams from both divisions, would that remove the hesitations of promotion and relegation?

All right. That's it, guys. Thank you.
