Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and the first of our Euro 20204 previews. On this episode, we're getting the down low on groups A and B. So get ready to learn a lot about the prospects of host Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland, Spain, Croatia, Italy, and Albania.

My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today, your friend and mine, wearing an MLS baseball cap right now.

Taylor Rockwell, hello, Taylor.

Hello, I put it on just for Joe, and specifically this tournament, because I'm assuming there will be plenty of MLS representation at the Euros.

Check notes, no, maybe not. I did also have my fun momentary crisis when I decided that I was previewing the wrong teams at the very last minute. But no, in the end, I had the right ones. But I always do that. I'm like, wait, I definitely had the right ones, right? Yes, okay, I'm good to go. I checked about 10 times this morning which Timo was down for

well there is a spoiler alert Taylor there's a power cube coming up in our previews today

yeah there is he will appreciate your Roblo hat also joining us also hatted right now Joe

Lowry hello Joe hello yeah I think Shakiri is the MLS player at the Euros least likely to be an MLS after the Euros, if that works to anybody. I am extremely jealous of Taylor's hat. Taylor, Roblo, Rockwell, it's great to see you. Indeed. Maybe it's likely to be playing international soccer after this tournament as well, Joe. We will see about that too. also here, of course, Graham Ruthven, our man who's going to be on the ground in Germany next week.

Looking forward to it. we will see about that too. Also here, of course, Graham Rutherland,

our man who's going to be on the ground in Germany next week. Looking forward to it, G? I am. Indeed. I didn't get the memo about the hats, though. I would have worn, I don't know if anyone has seen the clip of John McGinn. John McGinn had been in Germany for about an hour, and he was already dancing, like doing traditional German dancing, and he's got a Bavarian hat on.

So I would have worn a Bavarian hat

if I'd got the memo.

I apologies for that.

Graham, shockingly, we don't all have Google alerts for John McGinn the way you do. So no, I had not seen that yet. But I'm very happy that you remain happy and fully optimistic about Scotland's chances. It's had 8 million views over the last 12 hours. And you were 7 million.

Seven million was you.

Yeah, exactly.

Thank you, Taylor.
