Welcome to the Total Soccer Show World Cup Daily coming at you from our Los Angeles World Cup headquarters.

The Netherlands's hopes of procession are fully alive as they face Sweden and they scored five.

The Ivory Coast found Germany to be a menace and they triumphed thanks to a man named Dennis.

The Japanese were pleased after they

brought Tunisia to their knees and Curacao have a goalkeeping hero to anoint and they made

history when they got their first World Cup point. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today,

it's the Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan Bailey. It's, it is late here on the

West Coast. It's even later, pretty much everywhere else. And it's a sign that just making a joke about the name Dennis got me good. Not a lot rhymes with Dennis. Tennis? Ennis? That's it. That's it. Your turn. Congrats, guys. Mission accomplished. Yay, we did it.

I mean, a certain word pronounce a certain way.

Anyway, Ryan, back to you.

Thank you very much.

There's Taylor Swift song on a new album, which she rhymes menace and tennis.

Oh, boy.

Just telling you.

Graham Ruff is here.

Returning hero, Graham.

Hello, Graham.

How are you?

I'm good. Fran Baleigh. I'm back in body, if not spirit. This will be an interesting listening experience for those who can still hear the strain of being in Boston for Scotland, Nell, Morocco 1, in my voice. Ah, I see. So shouting for taxis and such. That's right, yeah. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. I imagine. For Steve Clark to be sacked.

But, you know, we have yet to take a leaf out of Tunisia's book yet, unfortunately. So was it worth flying 4,000 miles each way for the game? I feel like I'm obligated to say yes. And listeners can decide whether I believe that or not. Excellent stuff. I'm glad you made the sojourn.

We're good.

It's good to have you back as well, Graham.
