Summary

Taylor is joined by Graham and Joe to answer 6 USMNT and MLS-centric questions, plus one about new stats that we need in our lives.

1) If you could combine two USMNT players into one, who would you choose?

2) Who are some Number 9 options that haven’t been given a shot in this post-Altidore era?

3) What are the elements that set certain facilities and/or cities apart when US Soccer looks for host cities for games?

4) How many MLS players do you think will make 2022 world cup rosters (and how many countries will that represent)?

5) Would MLS get better TV ratings if their games were scheduled differently?

6) Would Joe like to apologize to the city of Austin for (allegedly) downplaying their chances?

7) What are some stats or metrics that are not currently calculated or published that you would like to see become common?

We've got so many questions. We've got two fine folks who I'm going to introduce by asking them some very easy introductory questions. Here to answer the age-old question, if you were a hot dog and you were starving, would you eat yourself? Is Graham Ruffman? Graham, it's a simple question. If you were a hot dog and you were starving, would you eat yourself? What's on the hot dog? It's up to you. I leave it to your discretion. It's a very important question to eat their own. Okay, so I like onions and mustard on my hot dog. Sometimes ketchup, if those are the toppings, then yes, I would eat myself. Is this an S&L reference of some kind?

1:06.6

It is indeed. So we're adding the ingredients. See, Graham, this is crafty. You're adding the ingredients so you don't actually have to eat yourself. Well done. That's a satisfactory answer. Joe, let's see if you can keep it going. Joe, another obvious one to start off. We all know the moon is not made of green cheese. But if it were made of barbecues spare ribs, would you eat it?

1:21.9

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I would not eat it if it were made of barbecue spare ribs would you eat it oh yeah absolutely

1:29.0

i would not eat it if it was made of cheese most likely i'm not a big cheese guy i like it on things

1:44.4

What if it was buffalo sauce, Joe?

1:46.4

No.

1:47.0

No, am I starving in this instance or not? If I'm not starving? Okay, if I'm not starving, I'm not eating it. If I'm starving, yeah, I'll probably eat it because I know it's edible and I would not be dead at that point. Joe, I imagine your disappointment of starving, floating all the way up to the moon to find out that it's actually bar-a-a-a-a-a-sau.

1:45.8

That'd be a... be dead at that point. Joe, I imagine your disappointment of starving, floating all the way up to the

2:01.4

moon to find out that it's actually Barbecue sauce. That'd be, that'd be a, excuse me, Buffalo sauce. Barbecue sauce, I'm assuming it would be okay. I love barbecue sauce. Like, I, I'm not proud of this, but if I'm eating something with barbecue sauce, just, you know, bottled, pre-packaged barbecue sauce and there's some left over on my plate, I'm definitely licking that. That's just the truth.

2:01.6

See, barbecue sauce. And there's some left over on my plate. I'm definitely licking that.

2:18.4

That's just the truth.

2:19.7
