| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccero and our |
| 0:10.8 | Welcome to the Total Soccer show and our Euro 2020 coverage day six. |
| 0:27.1 | In St Petersburg, we saw something that some of us have already witnessed in the past. |
| 0:31.6 | Artem Tuba, whacking one off, the post, as Russia took a 1-0 win over their next-door neighbours. |
| 0:37.1 | Finland, in Baku, Wales were |
| 0:39.0 | cosplaying as Australia, but they didn't go down under pressure from Turkey. And at the Stadio-Olympico, |
| 0:44.9 | Italy and Switzerland put on a game of soccer that featured professional players, a ball, a modest |
| 0:49.7 | crowd, some officials. I'm not sure what else happens because we're recording this intro |
| 0:53.0 | just before kickoff of that one, but Italy won. Maybe they didn't, but probably did. Anyway, joining me today as a man who's removed all the Coke and beer bottles from his desk in front of him. It's Taylor Rockwell. I actually have four today specifically. That's really good timing, because normally there are several Coke bottles in front of me. Less soapier bottles, more so whiskey bottles, if the US are playing poorly. All that incident got me thinking of, Taylor, the incidents being with Cristiana Ronaldo and Paul Pogba was, it's a shame that Jamie Vardy's not here in doing press conferences, because I can imagine him removing all of the bottles and just putting like vodka and a bag of of kettles up in front of him like that's better. |
| 1:29.4 | It's port and Red Bull. |
| 1:30.7 | Isn't that his drink? |
| 1:31.8 | I imagine Jamie, sorry, I know I haven't been introduced yet. |
| 1:34.4 | That is not podcast etiquette. |
| 1:39.6 | But sorry about that. |
| 1:41.2 | But I imagine Jamie Vardy doing the old night in a hotel retreat and just pocketing the bottles that are in front of them, you know, like people do with small soaps in hotels. |
| 1:51.3 | That's exactly what he would do. |
| 1:53.0 | I also appreciate, Ryan, that you are just getting less and less subtle with your Zuba references. |
| 1:58.1 | And soon it's just going to be like, art some Zuba, masturbation, moving on. |
| 2:02.5 | Well, you just went there and laid it right on the table for us, Taylor. Thank you very much for |
| 2:06.7 | that one. And for the record with Jamie Vardy, I think he did skittal-infused vodka, but he also does |
| 2:11.9 | port as well. He has a complicated recovery routine. Let's put it that way, show you. |
| 2:51.3 | Joining us also, man, you just heard from there. He hasn't quite decided whether he prefers Wales, Gulf, Madrid, or putting penalties in Rozy. It's Graham Rutherland. Hello. I mean, I definitely have decided what's bottom of that list and it's Wales. I'm sorry, it's just, it's just Wales. But, um, hello, how are you? Uh, very good. Let's dig into this a little bit, Graham. Um, not, not a fan of the Welsh in general, not a fan of, uh, you know, them having a player who's better than any Scottish player. Uh, it's, I would like to say it's not jealousy, but it purely is jealousy. I mean, football, soccer's not even their sport. |
