Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our review of the 2024 MLS Cup final in which L.A. Galaxy picked up their record sixth MLS Cup spoiler alert.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, your friend, my friend, Mr. Taylor Rockwell.

Hello, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

It's been a while since we recorded an episode on two different days simultaneously, but we're doing it tonight because Graham Rothman has stayed up with us. I'm cutting to his introduction, but I just realized it's evening here, it's a day where Joe is. It's morning where Graham is? I think it's Wednesday or something. I don't know. So much time zone disparity on Total Soccer Show tonight, as we record, after MLS Cup final. Graham Rutherman, how are you? It is maybe 4 or 5 a.m.? Is the sun come up now? I mean, on the scale of, when you ask how I am, Ryan, on the scale of like how gutted some of the Red Bull players were after the full-time whistle to Ricky Peer being rolled around in a giant ice bucket with a cigar. I'm certainly closer to

the ice bucket and cigar side of the range. So I guess that's good for 1.30 in the morning.

When you did the Ice Bucket Challenge back in the day, did you not have a cigar? I certainly did.

No, see, I didn't got a posh school, you know?

Ah, that's where you went wrong. Also, joining us, of course, it's our man on the ground in sunny Carson, California, or nighttime cars in California, as we are now. Joe Lowry, hello, Joe. How are you? I am, I am great. I got to witness Ricky Pooh's being rolled around in that giant car. It's, it's one of those like roly tubs that they put drinks in.

So you put all the ice in and then you got like the Gatorade or whatever else is in there. They dumped all that stuff out or at least it all the, it was beers. Why am I saying this? It was beers in there. I don't know why I didn't think about that. Obviously it was beers. All the beers were gone. It was Heinekins, I'm assuming.

Oh, well, of course, absolutely.

I think they might have been Budwisers, actually.

But it's neither here nor there.

Who's not there, man?

Oh, well, of course, absolutely. I think they might have been Budwisers, actually.

But it doesn't, it's neither here nor there.

Who's not there, man? Yeah, somebody didn't hear about the sponsor crackdown here. But Diego Fugendez lit the cigar and it's like, Ricky, get, he's talking in Spanish, he was like, Ricky get in the tub, and he gets a cigar and they wheel him around. and it was all very fun, very endearing.

Very nice.

We got not just a trophy presentation, a poohs cruise as well do we think that

has mode of transportation for the next six months yes yep after the surgery he's hopping immediately

back in that beer cooler and i think fergunas is the way that fuganis gets to stay in lay next year
