On today’s show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are back to discuss some of the more controversial components to the arrival of Mexico’s all-time leading scorer, and why, if you watched any videos on the man, you’re probably going to be rooting for him.

Josh and Eric will start with Chicharito’s arrival and how a private plane from Seville, Spain ended up with a British Airways A380 landing in Los Angeles and nearly 1,000 people chanting and cheering. And while there was surely disappointment over everyone not getting to see him, that this kind of arrival continues to signal the growth of the game in the United States and in LA. Does this arrival happen for Robbie Keane if he comes in 2020?
