| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello and welcome everybody to The Total Soccer Show. |
| 0:23.2 | My name is Taylor Rockwell, and the U.S. Open Cup final is only a day away. |
| 0:27.2 | It's Orlando City of Major League Soccer hosting the Sacramento Republic of the U.S.L. |
| 0:32.4 | Later in the show, I'll be chatting with Todd Dunhamet, Sacramento's GM, about the club and their preparations for the final. |
| 0:37.7 | But right now, I'm joined by U. by USL President Jake Edwards to talk about Sacramento, the growth of |

| 1:31.1 | Might we see USL clubs do the opposite and start really going forward every season? |
| 1:36.8 | But it's always been an important part of the calendar for USL teams. |
| 1:42.5 | I mean, that's the romance of the cup is on full display this season. |
| 1:48.4 | So it's always something the USL teams have enjoyed competing in and trying to get as far |
| 1:54.1 | as they can in the competition. |
