Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our latest dispatch from the mailbag.

It's your listener questions.

Today we're asking, or we're debating, the morality of watching the forthcoming World Cup.

We're asking if Garris Southgate in England are due for a conscious uncoupling,

and we're letting Joe talk about MLS salary data again. My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today as a man who's seen the Premier League fixtures are out, and he's savoring the prospect of Man United, losing at home to Brighton on the opening day with no Frankie Deion. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, I would be more concerned about that if Brighton weren't being actively ripped

apart and sold for scraps. So I feel a little bit better about that, though, by the end of the

summer, we'll see if Manchester United United United States United, actually end up signing anybody

to compete with Brighton. Yeah, I've seen a lot of the meme come on do something, guy poking

Man United Crest with a stick today, today taylor yeah i want to keep making the

same old jokes but there are new people in charge so it seems unfair to go right back to the well of

the same old jokes even if they still seem applicable to the present situation indeed interestingly

with the fixtures as well tete um there are boxing day new year fixes as well so so the 26th, the 31st, and the 2nd of January

are Premier League fixture dates. So that's a few days after the World Cup final, three

games in a week there after having like over a month off. I'm sure there's going to be no injuries

at all in those games. Yeah, especially if they get that month off. But if you have some

teams go deep in that World Cup,

then its players going right back in there.

And I think that will maybe compound that injury issue just a little bit.

Fun times.

Also joining us Taylor, a man who probably has opinions on the new Premier League ball,

the 2223 Nike Flight.

Graham Rutherland, is that correct?
