The next time. Hello, hello, and welcome to the total soccer Show. My name is Taylor Rockwell, and it's an interesting episode today. We're recording the morning after U.S. soccer officially parted ways with coach Greg Burhalter, who had been in charge on and off of the program since December of 2018. In that time, the U.S. won three nations leagues, though he was only technically in charge for two, qualified for the World Cup, were eliminated from the World

Cup, and beat Mexico thoroughly and comprehensively. However, questions have loomed about his tactics,

playing style, and overall results. And with the group stage exit in December's Cope of America,

the Federation decided it was time to move on.

We're going to get into the decision itself, Burrhalter's tenure, new coaching possibilities, and much, much more. Here with me to do so, are two fine fellows up first, a man who has not been relieved from his duties. It's Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. Yes, I was worried that this was going to be me getting the acts as well. Fellows, I'm stoked that it's not. let's do this.

And we are recording this Thursday morning.

Joe announced just before we started that he had been awake for four minutes. So, Joe, you are already more awake and alert than I have been when I woke up three hours ago. Let's go. The bar, it sounds like Taylor was low, given where I'm at right now, but I'm stoked for this show. And with this as well, a man who I'm going to assume is slightly more awake since it's

afternoon his time, a man who has also not been fired. It's Graham Ruthven. Hi, Graham. Hello, Taylor-Otwell. Yes, I've been awake for the last five years, which was when my daughter was born. A bit worried that we're talking about Burrhaler. I thought this was an emergency episode

about the hiring of the new Martin

Executive. I've got all these

pages of notes on US Soccer I thought this was an emergency episode about the hiring of the new Martin executive. I've got all

these pages of notes on US soccer's sponsorship with Volkswagen, so I'm not entirely sure

what I'm going to do with those thoughts now. Yeah, so peek behind the curtain. We thought maybe

this news would be coming. So Joe put together a sort of running order document, and when he

set it over, even though we had talked about it the day before, I immediately forgot. Ryan wasn't there. He had still been sick. And so both of us thought, like, wait, has this happened? And so I went and checked everywhere. And that was what I kept seeing? And I was like, what does Joe know that I don't? What does marketing person mean? And it turns out, Joe was just preparing for the news that eventually came yesterday evening slash night.

We were waiting and waiting and waiting and then decided not to record.
