Welcome to USNNCII. Welcome to USNNC weekly on The Total Soccer Show.

It's our regular in-depth look at all things men's national team.

Today, on our last USMNT Weekly of 2025, we're looking back on the year and assessing how good it's been for Pocitino's team and much more.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, hello the Taylor Rockwell. How are you? Hello, the Ryan Bailey. I am wonderful and splendiferous to be here talking USM&T with you, my fine friend. Splendiferous. I like that. Sturton's off good. Yeah. Mary Poppins-esque in your diction today. I like it a lot. Thank you very much for bringing up. I try. Excellent. A Graham, Rotherman, you've got a lot to live up to with Splendiferous. How are you? I'm very well, Ryan Bailey. I'm not sure. I even tripped over those words there. I can't live up to Splendiferous. That's beyond me. And my Scottish dialect. Is it splendid and ludicrous? Is that the portmanteau? What is it?

Well, Taylor, what is it? Splendid for us? It's your splendid and you're a coniferous tree. Like a tree. Ah. You're evergreen, just like USM&T Weekly. Huh? Right? There we go. We tied it back. No. Excellent. All right. We got plenty to get into on this here episode on the men's national team. Before we get there, if you'd like to support us, you can go to patreon.com slash total soccer show where you'll get bonus episodes. Bonus video content and access to our Discord server. All the cool kids are hanging out in there talking about all the cool things. Taylor's dropping eggnog recipes in there. It's a detailed recipe, Taylor. It looks delish. It's so well. It's handwritten. Listeners will not be surprised to learn. And it looks like so pretty. It should be framed, in my opinion. Yeah opinion yeah thank you that's very kind of you it's my attempt to like record them in a place that I will be able to find them so

I'm not panicking and scrolling back through my phone to find like my uncles texted over recipe

but it's also I'm trying to catalog like the recipes that I like except that I forgot that I'm writing it sort of for my like kids or whomever wants to use it after me

so there's a lot of like instructions to the person that if you read it as I'm writing

them to myself I then sound even more crazy than I already do so your perspective is this is

my legacy I'm leaving these eggnog recipes behind i like that

yes in truth it's because my wife she will cook uh but but maybe isn't always the best at it

so it's a little bit also like here's the things that you like if i'm say out of town for three

weeks covering a world cup here's how you make the things that you like to eat.

There's also a generational thing.

Eggnog.

It's a great desire for that.

Egg dog, keenwa salad, chocolate chess pie, the essentials.

Wonderful stuff.

I'm just picturing your great, great, great grandson with his AI robot wife,

getting out the folio with the eggnog recipe on it to

make you like old times. Paper and books will be illegal by then. So that will be a banned book,
