Yeah, it's a new year.

And it's a leap year, which means an even bigger year for soccer.

And the MLS has an extra day to squeeze in a new tournament or make some bad decisions. Wonderful stuff. We at TSS have decided to kick off 2024 with some predictions

for the coming year. My name is Ryan Bailey joining me with his crystal ball, your friend

and mine. Taylor Rockwell, hello Taylor. Hello, I'm now concerned that nothing I have will be as good as the MLS cramming in something for a leap year celebration.

That's good stuff, right, and it also feels possible.

Leap Day tournament that's going to involve...

Eater's back tournament.

Messy has to play him, of course.

Do you think a leap day tournament where Messi plays five consecutive back-to-back games is something they'll do? I think they'll do that, right? They've really just stopped hiding the truth of It's the Messy show at this point, if that's what they do, is Messi plays 10 straight games back-to-back to back to back to back to back to back.

And yeah, they're televised for that one day, which we don't have. It's going to be great.

Wonderful stuff.

Joining us, Taylor, with his sooth saying skills.

Graham, Rutherland.

Hello, Graham.

Happy new year to you.

Happy new year to you as well, Rand.
