Summary

On this episode, Taylor, Ryan, and Joe assemble (not unlike the Avengers) to answer your listener questions. Is it Chris Richards Time for the United States Men's National Team? How did Sporting Clube de Portugal win their first league title in 19 years? Answers to both of those questions, and many more, on the show. You can find the full list of questions that we discussed down below!

1) With Aaron Long's recent injury, is it Chris Richards' time to shine for the USMNT?

2) How are player ratings determined? Is the rating completely statistical or is there a subjective element?

3) What can MLS do to better develop players who are in their early 20's to help provide solid depth for the USMNT?

4) Theoretically, if COVID restrictions were lifted and it was 100% safe to travel, what city would we visit to see both the best soccer and have the best vacation experience this summer? 

5) How did Sporting Clube de Portugal win the Portuguese league for the first time in nearly two decades?

6) Is the five sub rule here to stay?

Welcome to the Total Soccer Show. My name is Ryan Bailey, and today we are answering the question.

0:26.7

What would a podcast answer to your questions sound like joining me to do so is a man who,

0:31.5

much like Karen Benzima, Matt Hummel's and Thomas Muller, is very welcome to sit at the top table

0:36.0

of soccer, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, the top table of soccer. That's exciting. I assume that was going to be all players who might be at the Euros this summer, but I'll take Top Table instead. They are all indeed players who may or may not be at the Euros, who've been welcomed back into the fold. I will say, Taylor, you've yet to be exiled by anybody so far, so that you're doing better than those guys, I guess.

0:55.0

I mean, so far. We'll see how this show goes and then all the other shows to follow. There's time. There's time. Joining Taylor and I is a man who's busier digging into the numbers and Harry Kane's agent right now. It's Joe Lowry. I'm going to take that.

0:52.1

I think that's flattering to me, but Ryan,

0:54.7

thank you as always for the flattering introduction.

0:57.4

Of course, Joe. Oh, I'm going to take that. I think that's flattering to me, but Ryan, thank you as always for the flattering introduction.

1:14.1

Of course, you're very welcome. And let's get the prediction straight off the bat. Harry Kane next season. Where now? Go.

1:20.0

Harry Kane will be joining my summer men's league team. I'd like to be the first to announce that. We really need some quality. And I think Harry, we're going to stick him at centerback because I'm going to stick everybody at centerback. But we're delighted to have him for sure. I would pay so much money to see Harry Kane try to survive a summer in Arizona. That would be a reality show I would watch. He would just be permanently covered in Sunblock. They would dip him into a vat of Sunblock like Achilles, and then they just have to worry about that heel. It's all or nothing, but it's just one cameraman following around Harry Kane for a summer in the desert. That's great. I'd like to see that. Who would your manager be in that team? I think Jose would be good.

2:01.2

Oh, yeah.

2:01.6

No, he's not going to Roma. He's not going to Roma. He's coming out here. Is Roma the name of your HOA in Phoenix? Yes, yes, it is. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Did I get mistaken for that. I like that we're starting off by going incredibly niche right from the jump. Let's do this.

1:57.3

Let's go even, Joe, we need to know more about your local housing ordinances if you don't mind.

2:01.1

Oh, that's for a future show taylor come on i can't spit all the beans right now we've got work to do that's fair that's fair we do i feel like we started off pretty broad talking about harry kane and world class players but hey we went down that tunnel pretty quickly, is what I'll say.

2:34.6

Yeah.

2:35.7

This is, as I mentioned, a listener question show. Thank you to everybody who has submitted them. What say you, boys? Shall we get into it? Let's do it. We shall. I'm still trying to figure out where I would like to be exiled if I were going to be exiled. Like, are we talking, am I like a drift on an iceberg?

2:33.5

Is that the level of exile that we're talking or do I just have to be exiled. Like, are we talking, am I like a drift on an iceberg?

2:52.1

Is that the level of exile that we're talking or do I just have to go to another state or

2:55.3

country?

2:56.7

Maybe like a Napoleon island or something.

2:59.7

Yeah, exactly.

3:00.9

You can send me to Iceland.
