Thank you. Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our latest batch of listener questions.

On today's show, we're looking at a new US national team coaching solution.

We're looking at the burgeoning soccer scene in Saudi Arabia.

And we're changing the rules for the goalkeeper.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, we have a man who's going to see international soccer in the flesh on this very day.

Graham Rutherland, hello.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

Yes, I am going to see Scotland versus Georgia later this evening.

Quite unnerved by how well Scotland are doing at the moment. Three wins

out of three, nine points out of nine, beating Spain and Norway. We're surely going to screw it up

tonight and lose to Georgia. To quote every Star Wars movie, this feels like a trap, Graham.

It does. It does. Yeah, I am genuinely very nervous about tonight's match because we have won three out of three.

It's one of those things where you realise actually you preferred it when there was nothing on the line and you were bad and you could just rock up and have like a comfortable 90 minutes.

But something tells me tonight is not going to be comfortable.

Okay. Well, wish you every success in that one, Graham.

It is good to say. I do generally like to see the home nations such as Scotland do well and get to the tournament. Do you, do you really? Only because England are doing incredibly well at the moment, and it means there's a good chance of annihilation on a big stage next summer, if we meet. Sure. Yeah, right? Logic. There's some logic there. Graeme, how do you, I've expressed on the Patreon feed, Patreon.
