Summary

On this episode, Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe answer your lovely questions! You can find the full list of questions we tackled down below:

1) Has Daniel Levy been a good steward for Tottenham Hotspur?

2) Can we just take a minute to pour one out for the end of Ray Hudson’s time calling La Liga games?

3) Who is the best poop-houser in the USMNT pool?

4) Would Christian Pulisic make every national team roster?

5) If we were suddenly drafted to be a Premier League center referee for a league game, how long would it take for the players to figure out we were unqualified?  

6) What are the major European leagues planning to do during the 2022 World Cup, which will be held squarely in the middle of their seasons?

Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and another listener questions episode, dropping like a Drake album in the feeds of all those certified lover boys and girls out there.

0:30.5

Did I sound hip and cool and young when I said that?

0:33.5

You did until the very end of that.

0:35.4

Oh, right. Mission accomplished.

0:37.4

My name is Ryan Bailey. Joining me today is a man who's not been the subject of a 200 million euro bid from Real Madrid. You just heard his voice, Taylor Rockwell. I mean, like, there's still time. We could see what happens. I don't know who they'd be negotiating with, and I do feel like any one of the three of you would happily part with me for 200 million pounds. At this point, I shall reveal I am your agent, Taylor, yes. Oh, that's good. I, I, I probably need one of those. So, all right, I'm going to send Ryan Bailey out to do all my negotiating from now on. Yeah, first, first order of business, I take 75%. Deal. That's troubling. That's troubling. But you know what, Fair. Fair is fair. As long as your quality, let's make it happen.

1:08.6

Get what you pay for. Also, here is a man who's not been sold back to his old club by Barcelona for a fraction of what was paid for him. It's Joe Larry. Oh my word. That deal and everything. I shouldn't be surprised at what happens with FC Barcelona at this point. But somehow I still am.

1:10.5

Fool me once, shame on me.

1:12.0

If we'll me every time, still shame on me.

1:44.3

I don't know what was going on with Barcelona, what has been going on. But that deal is insane. So to paraphrase a tweet from Liam Tuomi, excuse me, on Twitter, to explain that. Barcelona has sold Antoine Guresmond back to Atletico for 40 million euros. That's just two years after paying 120 million euros.

1:47.4

It's quite a lot more.

1:48.3

It's three times more.

1:49.0

So that's decided that's a transfer fee that they funded originally by taking out a short-term 35 million euro bank loan and mortgaging 85 million on future income.

1:59.9

Goodness me.

2:03.1

What a well-run club. What a well-wrong club, Graham.

2:10.6

Yep, absolutely. I've just jumped the gun and introduce Graham Rutherland there. Who has not been given the... You are here, and you're not wearing the number 10 shirt of Barcelona, unfortunately. That's been given to someone else.

2:16.2

It has. It's been given to An Sufati. I'm not a fan of that at all. The pressure. He's coming off a long-term injury.

2:22.1

The pressure on that poor kid is going to be immense. But he's good. So let's see how he does.

2:29.4

You think they give it like one season without having a 10? Why did they have to basically,

2:33.8

Messy's locker's barely cold?

2:35.6

Yeah, that shirt's still warm.

2:38.0
