#593: John Polis, USSF press officer in 1989, joins the pod

Polis was at the scene for Paul Caligiuri's shot heard round the
world, he was also (for Umbro) the English language press liaison
for the Brazilian national team (Romario, Bebeto, Dunga) in 1994.
Polis joined Belz for a 75 minute conversation. He was prepared
and he has a good memory and he brings a lot to the table,
including a more relaxed perspective about the USMNT heading
toward next summer than Belz has. Good medicine.
