Welcome to the Total Soccero!

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

On today's show, we're tackling questions ranging from the best technological breakthroughs in soccer,

the USMNT stars who could fix Premier League teams and the domestic teams with the biggest chance of winning the World Cup. Were that such a thing? My name's Ryan Bailey and it's another dynamic duo show today, not an awesome fourson. So joining me to put flesh on the bones of the things you ponder, our tactical wonder, who isn't an absconder. Hello, Joe Lowry. Oh, I got the Dr. Seuss rhyming intro. Ryan Bailey, I'm quite well. How are you? I'm doing wonderful. I'm really pleased I got absconda into a rhyme, frankly. I think that's new for me. So, Ryan, I totally know what absconder means, but like for maybe someone out there who maybe doesn't know what it means, how would you define that word for that person?

If I were due to regularly record a podcast and I went on vacation,

I would be absconding from that podcast, yeah.

Of course.

Again, I knew that, obviously, but that was for listener Bill out there who didn't know.

This is an educational podcast.

It's fine, yeah.

Of course. Okay, good. And obviously, Taylor know. This is an educational podcast. It's fine. Of course. Of course.

Okay, good.

And obviously, Taylor Rockwell is still sunning himself in the greatest state ever invented in the history of the world. Which is not Arizona. I'm sorry about that. Yeah, he's still not. He's still not in Arizona. So I don't know why you keep on that, but whatever. Your second best buddy, silver medal is still good.

It's out of 50.

It's still good.

You're right.

Yeah, that's not bad. that but whatever. Your second best buddy, silver medal is still good. It's out of 50.

It's still good. You're right. Yeah, that's not bad. Graham's also in the great United States getting his annual sun exposure quota in Florida. I think he might explode if he stays a day or too longer than he should. So he's going to have to be careful there. Yeah, you want to watch out. I thought you were going to rank Florida, like you ranked North Carolina and Arizona, and I was eager for that personally, but it might be best that you'd skip that part. Yeah, yeah, let's put an edit point in right here, Joe, and we'll move on swiftly. I'll tell you what, Joseph, I'm in Rome, Italy, because that's where all my stuff is and my family. And last night, Romer won the Europa Conference League, and never have I seen a city

sort of celebrating unison like I did. I went and watched it in a local bar. And, like, obviously,

it was crazy in the bar. Like, at full time, the barman got out bottles of Prosecco and champagne

and just gave it to everybody.

Like, they were having a good time. And then I had like a 30 minute drive home and just horn honking all the way home.
