Hello, hello everybody and welcome to The Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell and we're recording this show on a Tuesday.

Why is that the way I'm starting this show?

Well, because one, I can't rhyme as well as Ryan Bailey can.

And two, because it's Champions League this week.

So to kick off this Americans in Action episode, I'm going to ask my two co-hosts to look into the future and tell me which American will have the best Champions League match day this week.

We do have some Champions League games happening right now as we record, but I'm assuming no one is looking at anything.

No one is looking ahead.

We're all just prognosticating to the best of our

ability. Up first in order of baking ability, it's Joe Lowry. Joe, I'm assuming you've got those baking skills. Would you agree that you're probably a better baker than Graham? I would like to think so, Taylor. I just made scones over the weekend, and they turned out really well. I'm not going to lie. So I am, I'm honored to be in this spot. Graham can give his rebuttal if he thinks

he's a better baker than, than I am. He is not going to lie. So I am, I'm honored to be in this spot. Graham can give his

rebuttal if he thinks he's a better baker than, then I am. He is British, so maybe there's something to that? I don't know. Either way. Okay, Graham says no. Graham says no. So I'm giving my, my player that I think's going to do best in the Champions League this week. Is that right? Yes. Western McKenney because he's playing Maccabi Haifa

and that to me feels like a recipe for some level of success.

I know. week. Is that right? Yes. Weston McKenney, because he's playing Maccabi Haifa. And that to me feels like

a recipe for some level of success. I know Maccabi Haifa gave PSG a little bit of trouble last

time we went through these Champions League match days, but they did crumble. And Weston McKinney

is very good at being high in the air to headballs towards the goal.

And I think that could be a useful tactic for Juventus, even though they're not firing in all cylinders right now. All right. That would make me very happy if it were Weston McKinney, who did have a decent game this past weekend. Up next, a man whose baking ability was just slammed without provocation by Joe Lowry. It's Graham, Rutherman. Graham, are you doing okay? How are you doing?

Hi, Taylor.

I mean, I can bake a mean pop-tart.

That is... slammed without provocation by Joe Lowry. It's Graham Rutherland. Graham, are you doing okay? How are you doing?

Hi, Taylor. I mean, I can bake a mean pop tart. That is a skill right there.
