8. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Darin LaHood, (R) Illinois, Congressional Soccer Caucus Co-Chair:
"No it’s a great opportunity for Republicans and Democrats to come together for — It’s a great cause. We raise money for youth soccer, youth programs. Obviously, the US Soccer Foundation does a tremendous job of putting this on. But it’s a great event to come out to. Soccer is the number one growing sport in the United States right now and we’ve got COPA coming this summer. We’ve got the World Cup coming in 2026."
9. Mid of A. J. DeLaGarza walking on the sideline
10. SOUNDBITE (English) A. J. DeLaGarza, professional soccer player:
"I mean, I’m a realist. And in reality, we still have some work to do, but we’re not there yet on that global level. Our stadiums are not the size of NFL stadiums. But at the same time, since when I joined the league in 2009 to now, it’s a huge, huge difference. And the way the fans get to experience things, from the way the players are paid and ultimately the product on the field is the biggest difference. And if we continue that path, will eventually be a top league in the world and hopefully the top league in this country."
11. Various of pro footballer Dwayne De Rosario scoring the first goal for the Democrats
12. Various pro footballers on the Republican team scoring their first goal of the match
13. Various of Republican Rep. Rich McCormick and Democratic Rep. Greg Casar vying for control of the ball

Reporter: "What about red cards, yellow cards? Do you think it will be a little feisty out there?
LaHood: "You’ve got to bring your game today. You have to have your shin guards on and your shoes laced up."
Reporter: "So tell me, do you think its harder to pass a bill? Or pass the ball?"
LaHood: "It’s much easier to pass the ball than pass a bill. Particularly with this Congress, yeah, with a two-seat majority."
15. Various the Republican team scoring their fourth goal of the match
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Darin LaHood, (R) Illinois, Congressional Soccer Caucus Co-Chair:
