Summary
On today's episode, Taylor is joined by Graham and Joe to answer six US Soccer-centic listener questions:
1) How should we watch and evaluate Americans now that the next World Cup is 4 years away instead of right around the corner?
2) Which players from the last 10 years deserve testimonials?
3) If US Soccer wanted to set up a new satellite HQ, where should it look? (I really loved this one -T)
4) When is the next opportunity to cap tie Florin Balogun, and will that happen?
5) Does the Equal Pay for Team USA Act mean the U-23 Boys/Mens team will be paid the same as the senior USWNT for Olympic games?
6) Are we sure that the USMNT is destined to achieve greatness? A listener has doubts and we attempt to change their mind (I also really really loved this one -T)

| 0:28.5 | Thank you. Hello and welcome everybody to the Total Soccer Show. |
| 0:56.0 | My name is Taylor Rockwell, and on today's episode, we've got some U.S. soccer-centric listener questions to help answer them. |
| 1:02.9 | I'm joined by two fine fellows. |
| 1:04.8 | We have a question later on in this episode about a potential new European home or a potential European home for U.S. Soccer H.Q. |
| 1:12.6 | Joe Lowry, if you were setting up your own European HQ for whatever reason, where are you |
| 1:18.9 | heading? And keep in mind, if you can't think of an answer, you can always just say Rome and then |
| 1:23.4 | you can annoy Ryan Bailey in the process. |
| 1:25.5 | We have had a similar thought here, Taylor. |
| 1:27.6 | So I do have an answer. |
| 1:28.8 | It's not to annoy Ryan. |
| 1:29.8 | It's to annoy Graham. |
| 1:31.0 | Graham, it's taking everything in me right now to not read out your address on this podcast. I'm not going to because I don't think that's a cool thing to do. But it's sitting in my notes. As I just kick the table I'm recording on it, it's sitting on my notes right now in the second line of my notes. |
| 1:27.7 | But I'm just going to say Glasgow, Taylor, for both Graham reasons and there's a number of |
| 1:49.5 | USM&T players kicking around in Scotland right now. There's a handful of those. We'll talk about that |
| 1:54.5 | a little bit more later, I think, in this same question. But I'm going to go Glasgow, specifically |
| 1:58.6 | the house next to Graham. |
| 2:09.7 | That is a phenomenal answer, Joe, except that we all know that the true intellectuals, the kind of thought leaders, they all live in Edinburgh. |
