| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the total soccer show and the first of our series of Euro 2020 Group Preview Pods. |
| 0:28.4 | My name is Ryan Bailey and joining me today are three men who all agree it's totally normal that a tournament being played in 2021 is called Euro 2020. |
| 0:37.2 | Firstly, let me introduce the 2020 edition of Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:42.1 | Hello, buddy. |
| 0:43.0 | At least it's not being played in Brazil. |
| 0:44.6 | So there's that. |
| 0:45.9 | Yeah, that's a whole other kettle of copper America fish. |
| 0:48.7 | We need to maybe discuss at some point. |
| 0:50.9 | Indeed, Taylor. |
| 0:52.1 | Joining us also, we have the XGOG, the formation sensation, |
| 0:55.7 | the man who hit you with analysis paralysis. That's a new one for you, Joe Lowry. |
| 1:01.1 | Hello, Ryan, hello, Taylor and hello, mystery guest. Number three behind the last door is, |

I'm sensing the dynamic we're going to have during this tournament. Yeah, Euro's Graham's going to be very different to normal Graham. Scotland are a major tournament.

| 1:44.5 | bypass me. So yeah, I've got the war paint out, Rustu Rectber style, except it's in salt |
| 1:49.4 | tires on my cheeks. First of all, I appreciate the Turkey reference since I'm previewing |
| 1:55.0 | Turkey. But for both of you, I actually don't know. How do you all watch these types of tournaments? |
| 1:59.7 | Do you all get really into your |
| 2:00.8 | respective nations? Are you going to be die hard? Like, I don't know Taylor. I've never been |
| 2:05.8 | a tournament in my lifetime before. This is a new experience. So the nerves are running high then |
| 2:13.5 | is the vibe I'm getting from Graham. Yeah. Yeah. I'll try and bring it down a little bit through the rest of the podcast. |
