Summary

Taylor is joined by Graham and Joe to discuss the major areas of concern for the USMNT heading into a crowded June schedule (2 friendlies and 2 Concacaf Nations League games in 2 weeks).

Who should start in goal? Which candidate is most likely to replace Miles Robinson? Is there enough depth out wide and in the middle? Does anyone actually have a proven number 9? All those and many more. Plus, the popularity of tea amongst co-hosts, pronunciation problems, spelling problems. settling the age old debate of "should goal scorers score goals?" and much much more!

Hello, hello, everybody, and welcome to The Total Soccer Show.

0:23.5

My name is Taylor Rockwell.

0:24.6

It's time for another Americans in Action episode.

0:27.7

We're going to be talking U.S. roster, specifically concerns about the upcoming U.S. roster, concerns about the U.S.M.N.T as a whole.

0:35.0

We're going to start off anxious and try to reduce some of that anxiety with

0:40.0

me today to hopefully reduce some of that anxiety.

0:42.3

Are two gentlemen who are going to help me get to the bottom of two very important questions.

0:46.7

This may sound like a joke, Joe Lowry.

0:48.8

But when you write out the position that Anthony Robinson plays, how many words do you use?

0:53.7

How many individual words do you use

0:55.6

to write out his position? I would use two words to write out left and back. That's how I would do a

1:01.0

Taylor Rockwell. But if you were to go with the more proper formal position, is that one word or two?

1:07.5

I would use one word to write out fullback.

1:11.0

Don't ask why.

1:11.7

I don't get it why. I don't know why I do what I do. And what about centerback? Is that one word or two? No, see, Taylor, that's two words. Why? I don't know, but it is. Graham Ruthman, same question. Yeah, so for Virgil Van Dyke's position, is that one word or two for you? Two. All two, I think, is my answer. Just keep it. It's spelled wrong. Spelled wrong, I would add. Oh, yeah, because they do that weird RE thing that doesn't make any sense. But I wondered that because, yeah, in the group chat today, Graham wrote out fullback as two words. And whenever I write centerback as one word, Google tells me that that is not a word.

1:44.4

So now I'm wondering if it is two distinct words that I've just been writing it wrong the

1:47.6

whole time. But Joe, I'm happy to hear that you also write it wrong, at least one of them wrong,

1:52.3

according to Graham. Yeah, I've just been peer pressured and bullied by Google and autocorrect into doing

1:57.1

it that way. I was trying to think, wait, why do I actually do that? And I've done it for as long as I can remember, but it is just the peer pressure of seeing that red squiggle underneath

2:04.9

my word. I don't want to see that. Nobody wants to see that. So I got to fix it. I get peer pressure

2:09.9

from Google when we do or not, our notes before we record, because when you guys have done your

2:15.6

notes before me, it'll pick up the regional dialect and then when I spell something that it views is incorrect, it'll say to me, do you want to spell it in the American way? And I go, no, I don't want to spell it in the American way. I want to spell it the right way, the Queen's English. Does it ask you that if you could, if you like right click on it, will it say, did you want
