LFF 124: The Ballad of Aura and Marco (ft. Jess Houwen and Ernesto Alvarado)

Let's Fix Football

Hosts Gabe Lezra and Evan Mateer are joined by reigning LFF guest-appearance champ Ernesto Alvarado to break down the most recent updates in the FIFA corruption trial in Brooklyn, talk about the broader scandal, the new corruption allegations at the IOC, and the logic of anti-corrpution work generally. Ernesto is a practicing Foreign Corrupt Practices attorney based in Paris with the American law firm Hughes, Hubbard and Reed LLP. Evan and Gabe are also joined by journalist Jess Houwen of MLSFemale.com to discuss some MLS news, chat about her thoughts on Real Madrid's smashing of PSG--and, most importantly, to sing the Ballad of Aura and Marco. Jess, Gabe and Evan finish the show by breaking down USSF's most recent atrocity--the not scam regular website run by "nutritional partner" Thorne, which itself sells regular, normal things and doesn't market supplements to child soccer coaches.
