Welcome to the Totaloto's soccer show and our latest round of listener questions.

On today's show, we'll be asking about foreign coaches in MLS.

We'll be predicting next year's Champions League and we'll be looking at the managers

best suited to take penalties because

of course we are. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today as a man who had the most beautiful,

beautiful flowing locks you've ever seen in his high school senior year prom photo Taylor

Rockwell. Oh, I wish that were my prom photo. That was instead the sort of like get-up that we had to put on.

I'm not even sure that's a full suit.

I think it's like a fake thing that you put on as an apron and then they take your photo and then you take it off. So you look fancy as a senior. Yes, sir. So many more questions have just evolved. Listener, if you're not up to speed on this, please check out the Total Soccer Show Twitter feed where Taylor put up a number of photos from his youth in which, yeah, one, there's one in a tux, which apparently now is like a t-shirt tux or something. Oh, man, no, I don't know, maybe times have changed, but at my high school, and I think a lot of high schools around here, like the seniors get their own special section of the yearbook, and they always have fancy pictures, and sometimes I think you can choose your own, and if you didn't do that or didn't go to a portrait studio and get yours taken, as I decidedly did not, then, like, the last possible day, they'll bring in a photographer, and you wear their generic tucks smock and take a photo and as you can see

from that photo i was super well prepared for the entire experience um graham at least two of us did not do

the american high school and collegiate experience did you do one of those yearbooks where you had the like

most likely to xyz yes yes that's exactly what i did did. I was the most likely to have a fascination with

meat pies and sauce. Graham Rutland interjecting the ladies and James. Is that true? You actually

did one of those? Yeah. Yeah, like most likely to fail. I can't tell if Graham's meat pie thing is real or not. That's how much that is, it's kind of baked into his DNA. It does feel real. I don't think it is. Graham, did you go to Bayside High with Zach Morris? I'm confused. Like, did this happen in Scotland? I learned other day that in the UK now, they have proms at high schools. So I think we have just absorbed every American

high school movie over the last 20 years. Wow. Wow. That's amazing. To be fair, I also have

not a problem. Do you suddenly have lacrosse teams for no reason? Because if so, then you definitely have.

No, we haven't gone that far yet. Okay. That's next year. That's next year. We prank rival schools

mascots and steal their picks and things like that now, maybe. Is that an American thing? Sounds like an American thing. I don't know. I've only seen it in movies. I mean, yes, except that I'm not sure how many schools have a pig fur mascot. That feels like real, real prime material for mockery. Curly straight, curly straight. That's how you annoy them with their tails, Taylor, if you didn't know. And turn them into Spider Pig. Yes, sir. We've heard Graham Ruthven. We've heard Taylor Rockwell. Also joining us a man who doesn't keep his knowledge concealed. He keeps his eyes peeled when studying the action on the field. It's the editor of your favorite website. Backheeled. Joe Lowry, hello.

Oh, Ryan, the Dr. Seuss rhyming plug. Thank you. Your check will be in the mail, right? Of course. Of course. Of course.

So much has happened so far. I don't even really know where to go with this other than just to say, I think Graham and Ryan, you both should now have to post photos of yourself from your senior year of high school, or you guys probably don't even call it high school.

You probably call it like pre-uny or something like that. But you should post those pictures.

I mean, nobody took any pictures of me from the age of about 14 until, well, I'm 30 now. So like, now, really, nobody has taken any pictures of me in the last 15 years.
