Welcome to USMNCII

Welcome to USMNC Weekly on Total Soccer Show, our regular look at the national team.

And on this episode, we are dissecting the preliminary Gold Cup roster that dropped earlier this week.

We're looking at the missing big names, the fringe players who may deserve a shot.

And we'll look at how we see things shaping out this summer.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

It's Mr. Taylor Rock or hello, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

That was a lovely introduction in which you did a majestic job of keeping the derision and scorn and confusion out of your voice when you said 60 player provisional roster.

Nicely done by you.

Well, I didn't actually say 60 player provisional roster nicely done by you well the i didn't

actually say 60 player provisional roster taylor but you have very much preceded a conversation topic

that will be coming up very shortly on this i had a feeling i had a feeling it should be 80 people

that's what i'm saying why not make it not there why make it whole country i think that 300 million

preliminary roster i think is what we should have at this point.

It's only fair to everybody, including, but not limited to Joe Lowry.

Hello, Joe.

Yeah, I think that's completely fair.

In fact, why don't we just stop doing the international divides at all and just get everybody on a list and do something with that?

I think that feels right.

Joe wants everyone on a list. That's the major takeaway that we heard from this episode.

Good boy. Graham Rodman, how are you said? Would you like to be on a list?
