Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our review is the third match day of the Champions League, colon the league phase, colon the phase, and I'm still doing that.

This round gave us a classic Barcelona performance against a buy-and-side with a daring high line, a round Madrid side who went two goals down but did absolutely fine. Erling

Harland put on a stunning show. Christian Pulisick scored an olympico. Liverpool shows they're

ready and able. And as we all expected at this point, Aston Villa atop of the table.

My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today, it's your friend. It's my friend. It's Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Ryan Bailey. It is the Halloween season. The phasening sounds like the part four, like colon the phasening to some bad franchise, like mimic or species or something like that. It's species for the phasening and then also the Champions League, the phasinging. It inspired by the crowening I believe the crows have ice too the crow inning indeed indeed yeah that's the

avenue that your wife have gone down we're just walking down it that's all we're doing that's all

we're doing joe lowery's here hello joe i i'm not sure i want to watch the crow inning. I don't know exactly what that is, but it sounds terrifying. I do know that I want to watch the phasening, fellas, because there were some great games in the phasening part three. That's what I'm going with. I enjoyed this Champions League slate immensely. The phasening part three. It continues so many colonons, Graham, rather than, hello, Graham.

Hello, Ryan. Joe, you're right. There were so many great games in this week. Was one of them Atalanta-Nil Celtic Nill, right? That's what most of your notes are about. Oh, it's just four full pages of Austin trusty lockdown defender. USM&T going to win the World Cup, baby. That's the entire. It's just huge fun. He came up huge.

That's over once.

It was due.

I wish there were a way to have bet on what minute it would be before Graham gets a Celtic reference in, because I would have gone first five minutes, and I would have made some money.

He brempfer did that one in, didn't he? Right. He really did. Well done. Yeah, Graham, I enjoyed how much of the European media was about Mateo Retegui and how he's had an incredible few weeks and how he was going to shine in this. Oh, right, they, yeah, nothing happened. Yeah, can't get past Austin Trustee. He's a new man. Evidently. Very good. We'll get to that and much, much more, of course, in this show.

Before we do so, Patreon.com slash total soccer show is the best way to support this endeavour if you choose to do so.

You'll get bonus episodes.

You'll get bonus video content.

And perhaps most importantly, perhaps equally importantly, access to our Discord server where all the cool kids are hanging out. Joe, you love the Discord, don't you? I do love the Discord. Truly, I hang out in there all the time, coming out with us. Do you want to hang out with us? You want to hang out with us, right? Yeah, yeah, right? Direct access. You can join everyone complaining about CBS, which seemed to be a trend last night. Hey, they show all the games with mostly without interruption.

It's great.

No complaints here.

No complaints here.

Until the pregame, half-time show and post-game in which there is plenty of interrupting.

Yeah, and also on the basis of last night's complaints and the Discord, it seems like they

weren't showing a lot of the games through the app. So they don't even have that going for them. But anyway, all good on my Apple TV, just so you know, Graham. It's all very smooth a lot yesterday on Tuesday, just see you know. And there's the bet on when Ryan, we get an Apple. There we go. There we go. Nicely done.
