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

On today's show, we're assessing the USMNT's tournament knockout round performances.

We're taking a look at MLS scheduling, and we're diving into player name pronunciations.

Sorry, pronunciations.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, Power Trio, Taylor Rock.

Oh, hello.

Hello, Brian Raleigh. Damn it. Sorry. I did it wrong from the beginning my pronunciation for once again. I love a spoonerism. Did you know what that's called a spoonerism when you mix the first two letters of two words? And I feel like I know that because of Football Weekly, maybe, but I could be wrong.

Maybe.

That might be nominative determinism that I know from Football Weekly.

I know, because of Football Weekly, maybe, but I could be wrong. That might be nominative determinism that I know from Football Weekly. I know, Taylor, because at high school, we had, this is a, make me sound very old, Joe, but we had a computer where the latest technology was, you could make it speak a word if you said it out loud. Our IT teacher was called Mr. Spooner, so we would just make it go, Spoonerism,

Spoonerism. He hated it. That's how I know that word. There you go. Joe, let's do another for you? You got that? Oh, I am thriving. It sounds like Ryan went to high school with a bunch of nerds, which puts him in good company now. It's his life has continued hanging out with us, Taylor. What's up, fellas? Good to see you guys. Good to see you, too,

Jerry Lowry. The operating system on the computers when puts him a good company now. It's his life has continued hanging out with us, Taylor. What's that, fellas? Good to see you guys.

Good to see you, too, Jerry Lowry.

The operating system on the computers when I was at school, Windows 95. Windows 1. Nice. Classic. Whoa. Piu-poo! 95. Was that Windows 1? It might have been. I don't know.

Yeah, which is regular cases for this episode.

Been a while.

It's been a while.

It's been a while.

Let's say there's been fewer in the last few weeks, shall we say. We're glad to have the format back. That's a more accurate way of phrasing it. Ryan, I'm going to guess you really love the list or question episode that you definitely listened to from last week.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

As long as there's absolutely no follow-up questions, the answer is yes.
