Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our preview of the Africa Cup of Nations 2024, or is it 23.

Let's find out soon.

On today's episode, we'll look at the runners and riders from the tournament in the Ivory Coast.

The teams and players were most excited to watch, and much, much more.

My name's Ryan Bailey Bailey joining me today to

talk all things afcon we have Taylor Rockwell hello Taylor hello my friend excited to be here

excited to have you here talking and having your sound of your voice in our ears as always thanks

seamless seamless introduction by you so I get the big bucks.

Also joining us, Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. Hey, I am, I'm stoked for this episode. Taylor, you talk all the time about when you get in and starts to do research on a tournament and start to think more about it. You get more and more excited. And Taylor and I did the MLS show yesterday with David Goss. It was great to have him back on the show.

And we mentioned that we were doing this preview tomorrow.

And gosh was like, I'm hyped for Afcon. And all of these things coming together have me really, really looking forward to this tournament. Indeed. Graham Rosvin, sickness is Graham Rutherman. Hello to you. Are you looking forward to having your January Brighton by an international tawny.

Hello, Ryan Bailey. Yes, I am. I love Afcon. Although I have to say slightly worried.

You said it's Afcon 2020. Are we still in 2020? And I missed that. I know we were in 2020 for like three or four years.

Have we now moved forward to 2023 and it's going to be 2023 for the next four or five years?

So we have to stop naming tournaments after years.'re not being blamed, frankly. This happened with the Euros. It's happened to last two Afcons, I believe. This is Afcon 20203, originally scheduled for last summer, I believe. They need to stop printing the T-shirts and the mugs so early is the lesson here. How have we not learned that lesson yet? Would you rather have, would you rather have a tournament in the wrong year like we're getting with Afcon? Or would you rather have, Joe, do you know the chief's stadium name off the top of your head? Unfortunately, I do. Yes. Arrowhead. Arrowhead. Okay. Everyone knows. Cool. All right. Never mind. But no, but now it's like the, because the field sponsored, so they didn't have to change the stadium name. So it's like the whatever company field at Arrowhead Stadium. Would you rather have the super long corporate name to a tournament or would you rather have the wrong year? So Afghan 2023 and 2024 as the official title.

Yeah. Presented by 2024.

At Arrowhead Stadium on, I'm assuming, Amazon Prime Field. Yeah. Wonderful. Joe, I thought you were a Swifty. Arrowhead. Come on, man. Yeah, I guess that's not like a unique fact to know anymore. I'm just going to have to learn every other NFL stadium instead. State Farm Stadium, baby, let's go. Again, none of you are saying the sponsor, and we're probably going to hear about it from whomever it is who sponsors that field.
