Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and USMNT Weekly.

0:24.7

This is our regular foray into all things men's national team.

0:28.4

Today, we're discussing the 26-man World Cup roster that we all found out about for the first time during Tuesday's roster reveal event.

0:35.9

We're going to go through the squad in detail, talk about the strengths, the weaknesses, and everything in between. My name's Ryan Bailey joining me today. Oh, look, Taylor Rockwell. Hi, how's it going? Going well, my friend. How are you? Excited to talk rosters, excited to talk U.S. rosters, excited to talk a brand new thing that we totally didn't find out about in its entirety over the weekend i know this is all very fresh information so we're going to have to process it in real time

0:57.9

i think taylor but we'll get there we'll get through this don't worry it's all good still really still

1:02.3

really over here was that new thing stuart holden dancing to gunner during the live reveal is that

1:08.2

what that was uh-huh right very Right. Very good. I enjoyed it.

1:11.8

Mm. Yeah. I think it's hard to... Graham, Rutherham, hello, by the way. I think wearing a suit in general, unless you're David Byrne, it's quite hard to pull off dancing. That's my theory. Especially not he. Like, I presume it was, it was quite hot in New York down by this, Then by the Hudson...

1:26.9

Strong disagree?

1:28.3

Strong disagree.

1:29.8

The opportune time to wear a suit and dance is a wedding. Like, if anything, I feel like everybody's like starting off formal and then maybe that like top button gets unbuttoned, that tie gets a little loose. The dancing begins. I feel like I go the other way. A suit makes me more inclined to dance. I don't say more inclined to say look cool. That was a difference. If you feel, I will be doing either one. If you forget your kilt, then I suppose a suit for a wedding is acceptable. I feel like that's a volunteering to wear the kilt on stage at the last show? No, I am not a kilt guy.

2:01.9

I'm really not.

2:02.5

I'm a suit guy.

2:03.7

Did you get married to kilt?

2:04.6

2:05.2

No, I did not.

2:06.0

I wore a suit.

2:07.5

Did you get married in a kit?

2:08.8

A track suit, you mean?

2:09.9

It was a vintage Bokka Jr.'s early 90s.

2:14.0

Limited edition kit, yeah. Is he joking? No one knows. No one knows. We'll never find out. Joe Lowry, how are you, sir? I am great. I was thinking about that clip of the Fox Folks dancing to Gunna and just thinking how thankful I was to not be on that stage because I just can't dance. I don't have any rhythm. Like I have musical ability. I have zero dancing skill.

2:50.9

So I will not be looking cool, as you said, Taylor, regardless of what garb I'm wearing while trying to dance, it was it was best for everybody that we skipped that. Yeah, I suppose so. But hey, the roster of ill party being held the day after a long weekend when the squad was already out. I'm surprised they weren't lining up outside the door for that thing, frankly. point.
