Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our Champions League round of 16 preview.

The world's biggest domestic soccer competition is about to make its welcome return

and we're here to run through the matchups, the movers and the shakers,

and perhaps the possible reasons that will stop Man City from winning it once again.

My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today, we have a man who loves a European night under the lights,

or as he calls them, an Arizona 85-degree lunchtime watching a European night under the lights.

Joe Lowry, hello.

Ryan, you have no idea how accurate that is. It is getting warmer and warmer out here in Arizona.

It was, I mistakenly wore pants and long sleeves and a little crew neck yesterday,

and I was regretting it every time I left my space.

So it's getting toasty and the afternoon Champions League is almost upon us.

Sounds cute, by the way, the outfit.

Are we saying it rose from the 60s or something? Oh, I miss what you said as I was laughing over you, Ryan. Never mind, Joe. What time is like a 9 p.m. European kickoff for you? So that's 3 Eastern. Yeah, so 12 Pacific. Yeah. Oh. We love it. We love that. I mean, the post-lunch Champions League does hit pretty hard. I mean, watching Athlete put two past Manchester United at about 130, it doesn't get a whole lot better than that. Yeah. Maybe some extra time for dessert for the second legs. I like it, Joe. I like it a lot. Well, I wish you all the best with your Arizona lunchtimes, Joe.

Joining us also here is a man who loves this competition stage so much, he goes by the name

Graham Round of 16 Ratham.

Isn't that right?

Well, yeah, to people who don't know me and to my friends, I'm Graham Gazprom.

Of course you are. Towing the corporate line, as always, Graham.prom. Of course you are.

Towing the corporate line, as always, Graham.

Actually, we're talking about your car earlier before we came on recording.

GR 016R.

That's your license plate, right?
