Hello and welcome everybody to The Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell.

And joining me today, I've got two individuals.

The first is a young American who rose through the ranks to watch every single shot D.K.

has taken for Barnsley this season.

It's Joe Lowry.

Hi, Joe.

I genuinely don't know if that's a compliment,

if that's an insult, if that's just a message that I wasted a lot of my time for that article

I wrote for The Athletic. Either way, Taylor, it's great to be here and to talk with you and

another special guest. Things can be several things, I guess, in this scenario. Joining Joe

and myself is a crafty American soccer veteran who's seated all and knows that Eunice Musa should probably play every position for the national team from the scuff podcast. It's Adam Bells. Hi, Adam. Hey, guys. Thanks for having me. And that will be the last time I call you, Adam. It will be Bells from now on. But I felt, you know, we've got to go first name first. and now we'll go back to Bells. We're going to be handing out some American Abroad Awards later on in the show, but we're going to take a look at the U.S. roster for the upcoming Nations League games first. But before even all of that, Bells, how are you all preparing for this summer? Because there are lots of different competitions at various points. Are you scheduling it all out?

Are you going to try to cover all the U.S. and U.S. women's national team games?

What's the sort of focus for you all?

The focus is going to be on the men's national team.

We have to make choices and that's our sort of purview.

But I have some unwritten emails to send to people to join us on some of these recaps because, you know, as we know, there's going to be four in a row in the next couple weeks. And then the goal couple will be really busy too. So for us, we're on a weekly metabolism. This is going to really, really be taxing. Well, yeah. And you all have, you all have other stuff you're focused on as well, right, this is going to really, really be taxing.

Well, yeah, and you all have other stuff you're focused on as well, right?

This isn't like, like what's going to be, are you taking off to just cover the gold cup or do you have other stuff still in the works?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I have scuffed news on the side and that is, that's always going along and a morning

newsletter that has nothing to do
