Summary
Taylor, Graham, and Joe dive into a set of your questions! You can find the full list we discussed down below:
1. Why are the Olympic soccer jerseys different than the senior team jerseys?
2. Does the Red Bull tactical approach work better as an underdog tactical style, or for teams with more resources?
3. Is Tim Melia the best penalty-stopper in MLS history?
4. How can teams counter the 3-2-5 attacking shape that’s sweeping the globe?
5. Should Aston Villa make a move for Jack Grealish?
6. If money was no object, would we spend on a top-tier coach for the USMNT or spend on getting the USMNT players together for an entire club season?

| 0:00.0 | Hello, |
| 0:01.0 | Hello, Hello everybody and welcome to the Total Soccer Show. |
| 0:24.6 | My name is Taylor Rockwell, and I'm excited today because we have some listener questions to get to answer them so that I don't have to. |
| 0:32.4 | I'm joined by two fine friends. |
| 0:34.4 | Up first, it's a man with firm opinions on the goalkeeping statistics relating to Tim Melia. |
| 0:39.1 | It's Graham Rutherford. Hello, Graham. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. This is one of the things I love about |
| 0:43.1 | listener questions because we get that question, spoiler alert for this episode about Tim Melia. |
| 0:47.7 | And I spent like a solid, I don't know, like 25, 30 minutes researching that and like got |
| 0:53.4 | really into it. So now, |
| 0:55.2 | now apparently I am a big Tim Melia stats nerds and I'm personally invested in that whole thing |
| 1:01.6 | now. All right. So Graham Ruffman personally invested in Timelia. Joe Lowry, I'm going to |
| 1:05.7 | assume personally invested in what happens next with Jack Grilish. Yes, so invested. Who's going to get those calves? |
| 1:12.0 | People are asking. |
| 1:13.9 | Joe, I appreciate your focus and dedication to the yes and gram you as well. |
| 1:20.1 | I'm still coming around to my three-year-old daughter, who's a big fan of the firm no, |

Ryan is not with us. Unfortunately, we miss you, Ryan. But you too have some answers. I have a few answers to a few of these questions. Let's get to it, starting with Richard Gaines. Why are the men's Olympic jerseys different than the senior team jerseys. |
| 1:50.2 | Now, a peek behind the curtain, Graham has an answer, and Joe read the Olympic bylaws. I'm not sure |
| 1:55.7 | who to go with first. Joe, how was reading the in-depth legalese of Olympic bylaws? |
| 2:00.3 | You know, it was great. One thing that I've learned in the process of going through bylaws and |
| 2:06.2 | procedures for major sporting competitions, that is the Olympics, that's the Copa America, |
| 2:10.5 | the Olympic press credential application when it randomly got emailed to me and I decided |
| 2:14.8 | that I wasn't going to be able to make it to Paris this summer, is that they love to use abbreviations that they don't like to explain. |
