#490: An American soccer fan backpacking in Europe

A quick chat with Otis Lyons, a young guy from the Bay Area who
has been traveling in Europe and North Africa, watching USMNT
players at their home clubs, for the past two months. He visited
Gaga Slonina's home club for a home game, saw Balogun at Monaco,
Juve-Milan in Turin, Johnny at Osasuna in Pamplona and many more
games in various places. Meanwhile he ran a marathon in Tunisia
and ran into a snag in Belgium. We met him on the Scuffed Italy
trip and thought it'd be fun to catch up a couple weeks
later.
