Thank you. Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our latest foray into the listener questions mailbag.

Today, we're fielding inquiries about Zinadine Zadans career prospects.

We're talking about tall soccer players and we're challenging the quandary city football group faces if Manciti and Gerona both reached the Champions League.

Ooh, my name's Ryan Bailey, joining me to answer these questions and several more.

Taylor Rocco, hello.

Hello, how are you doing, buddy?

I am doing very well.

We're just having an off-air conversation how I think I need glasses now because words,

which used to be clear are no longer clear.

I play that game every now and then. I'm like, is that fuzzier or am I just like being weird in the moment? It's fun to be a little bit of a hypochondriac, isn't it? Yeah. Maybe I'll give it another week and if it's still fuzzling it's getting worse. We'll deal with it then. Pushing it down the road. That's the way to do with problems, right? Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Yeah. And so you can't see it all.

And then your wife will be like, you have to deal with this and then you deal with it. That's how it works. I'm glad it works like that in the Rockwell Household as well. Joining us, Taylor, the Guardians Joe Lowry's here. Hello, Joe. Hello, fellows, it's good to be here. There was some chat in the Discord about that.

Graham, I'm not coming for your title.

I don't think I have deserved. You've already got it. No, I don't think I'm there yet, Graham. But it was nice to have my first piece for The Guardian on, everybody talks about why into Miami you're going to be great this year, right? And I think probably they are, but I went through the thought experiment of like, what would have to happen or what are the weaknesses that would make them not great? And I thought that was fun because it's sort of like preying on the downfall of things that people think are going to be great. Indeed. Graham, Graham, uh, Graham Rathven here, everybody. Uh, your patch has been, uh, impeded by Joe Lowry at the Guardian. How do you feel? I've been thrown out the back door at the Guardian. I'm now going to create a splinter newspaper called, I don't know, totally guardian football newspaper. Yeah, something like that. Excellent news. Taylor, I've actually got to end this episode early because I need to get my resume ready to send off to the Guardian. Are you doing yours today as well? Yeah, yeah. I'm going to submit it only to be immediately rejected because my resume is basically this job since, what, 2009? I'm not sure how appealing that's going to be for them. Oh, you've got a LinkedIn profile and everything. You're wearing a nice sport jacket. I love Taylor's LinkedIn profile. I haven't touched that since the company I worked for

that made me create it, made me create it, and I have not looked at LinkedIn since that day.

It's still better than the PR jargon that Ryan sticks on his page. Get him. Get him.

Oh, that used to be...

He's not going to come back because he knows it's true.
