Summary
Ryan is joined by Graham and Taylor to discuss the latest events in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.
Group A - Cameroon tops the group in convincing (but also sort of unconvincing?) fashion
Group B - Senegal still only has one goal thus far, so naturally we think there's a chance they end up winning the whole thing. Or, at least, Ryan does! Plus, big (literally) numbers for Malawi and perfect kits for Zimbabwe.
Group C - Ghana in need of a rebuild, Gabon not in need of their most famous player, and Achraf Hakimi is very very good.
Group D - Nigeria looking strooooong while Egypt are mostly just looking for Salah.
Group E - The most delicately positioned group: all four can advance, all four can potentially crash out. But only Sierra Leone has garnered Graham's undying loyalty.
Group F - Ryan ensures that someone from this group will end up as your 2022 AFCON Champions!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and now check in with the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. |
| 0:25.9 | Yes, it's the 21 edition because this tournament was supposed to be played last summer |
| 0:30.2 | and COVID ruins everything as we all know. |
| 0:32.8 | But just like a Sadio Mani 97th minute penalty, this tournament is better late than never, and it's been |
| 0:38.9 | very entertaining and often chaotic thus far in Cameroon. |
| 0:43.2 | My name is Ryan Bailey. |
| 0:44.5 | Joining me today is my matar who will talk about soccer near the equator, Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:51.2 | Wow. |
| 0:52.2 | Is that a shoehorn in reference to cars or the equator? |
| 0:56.2 | I'm very confused, Ryan Bailey. |
| 0:58.2 | Yes. |
| 0:59.7 | Perfect. |
| 1:00.4 | Perfect. |
| 1:01.2 | How long did it take you to come up with that one? |
| 1:03.6 | Mere seconds. |
| 1:04.8 | The amount of time it just sounds like it deserves, Taylor, is the answer. |
| 1:08.0 | That's what I was figuring. |
| 1:10.2 | Taylor, how are you, by the way? |
| 1:11.9 | You weren't on the weekend review this week. We haven't spoken this week. Talking about the Sokernity |
| 1:16.5 | equator, different weather situations in Richmond. How's the snow? Snow is not bad in the city of |
| 1:22.3 | Richmond. Surrounding areas, it was pretty bad. We have two more snowstorms coming, so we'll see how |
| 1:26.3 | that goes. But the larger issue was daycare being closed. My wife, this is the very busy time of her work schedule, which meant it was me and our one-year-old hanging out all day, and it was as stressful as I imagined it would be. Yes, I can only imagine. Well, I can actually imagine, Taylor. I have a six and an eight-year-old home for their second week from school because of COVID situations. They're fine, by the way. Someone else in their class has a situation. So, yeah, I'm putting teaching assistant on my resume, by the way. I mean, that's good for you. But I like that you can at least sort of give them stuff to do, give them assignments, or even just plug them in front of a Disney movie. Whereas for me with a one-year-old, it feels like anytime I'm not actively paying attention to her, that's when she takes it upon herself to try to find the most dangerous things she can at any given moment. And it does feel a little bit like she's daring me to not |
