Summary

On today's episode, it's time for some listener questions! The whole crew is back on mic to answer your questions:

1) What are the best ways to better understand soccer strategy and formations? Aside from watching games, are there online resources or something of that ilk?

2) Why do Mexican clubs have so many sponsors on their kits? Are there any other leagues who handle sponsors similarly?

3) How are we feeling about Leeds' transfer window so far?

4) What went wrong at Barcelona for Riqui Puig?

5) Is it a disadvantage for the USWNT to play in the CONCACAF W Championship while the UEFA Women's Euros are happening? Does the overall strength of NWSL balance out any difference in international competition?

6) How did Wembley come to be a national stadium where no club team plays? What other nations have this arrangement, and what in your eyes are the benefits of having a national stadium?

7) Why do people make fun of RFK Stadium and FedEx Field so much?

Welcome to the total soccer show and our latest round of listener questions.

0:25.5

Today we're looking at the best resources to learn about soccer,

0:28.9

Leeds United's transfer window, the ballad of Ricky Pooge.

0:32.6

Why Lee Guramaki's jerseys have so many gosh-darned sponsors and much, much more. My name's Ryan Bailey,

0:39.1

joining me today as a man who answers listener questions like England win games at Euro

0:43.2

2022 comprehensively. Taylor Rockwell, hello. Hello, I'll take that. I'll take a comparison to

0:49.8

that England team who did that to Norway. Yeah, yeah, through to the next round with a game to spare against North Island who already eliminated Tate, you know, maybe Germany or Spain or Denmark in the next round, but hey, so good, so far. That's the opposite way around, did I say it? Yeah, that's all right. And then on yesterday's show, I took the brave stance of predicting that England would make it to the next round, forcing Graham to pick the second place team. Very brave on my part.

1:12.6

Excellent stuff. That one is on the feed. Also here, a man who commits to listen to questions

1:16.7

like Barcelona commit to participating in a transfer window.

1:20.2

Olly, it's Graham Rutherman. Hello.

1:23.5

Hello. I mean, that is quite apt because I feel like my life is just the embodiment of the This Is Fine GIF, and that very much feels like what Barcelona are doing this summer in the transfer window.

1:34.2

Someone explained to me how they're spending so much money.

1:37.0

Yeah, I just don't know. As I said on the last show, I was on G, I was at the stadium. It is basically falling apart.

And they're spending even more money. Raffinia apparently coming in. He may have already come in as we record. The latest non-register player, Graham. That's totally fine, right? Sure. Yeah. How many replica shirts did you buy for them to afford Rufina this week? I bought a grand total of zero. But I'll tell you what, Graham, their store is very, very impressive. In the stadium, it's like three layers. It's great in heaven, basically. Every kind of

2:05.4

slightly ugly shirt with Spotify on it you could want. Wonderful stuff. They add, I've heard they add a

2:11.3

floor to the store every time they sign a player over for over 50 million euros. They have to add

2:16.4

another floor to fit more

2:18.3

merchandise in yeah do you know what actually it was three stories but they were actually

2:22.0

five stories but they hadn't registered the top two stories yet so they can't actually

2:25.8

go up there and sell stuff there but um they'll get there eventually I hope uh Graham

2:29.8
