| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the total soccer show and an episode we've been waiting to bring you for some time. |
| 0:27.1 | It is official. |
| 0:28.2 | Marizio Pocetino is the head coach of the United States men's national team. |
| 0:33.4 | The Argentine was officially unveiled on Tuesday and is flying out to the US today, Wednesday, as we record. |
| 0:40.3 | Next month, the USMNT will host Panama in a friendly in Austin, Texas on October 12th, |
| 0:45.3 | which is where Potch will be on the US sideline for the first time. |
| 0:50.0 | My name's Ryan Bailey. Join in me today, Taylor Rockwell, an excited Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor |
| 0:54.7 | Rockwell. Very much an excited Taylor Rockwell, who was somewhat less excited at fall time after the USA's |
| 0:59.7 | one-to-one draw with New Zealand. More excited now having read up even more on Potch. Yes, indeed. |
| 1:05.2 | Joe Larry also here. Hello, Joe. That game did nothing to impact my excitement whatsoever. |
| 1:09.9 | Let's do this thing. It was like once we had the poach announcement show, was there even a game? Did the game even happen? It was just gravy. It's just like we get to watch a soccer game, but it doesn't matter who's playing. It really didn't matter how the game went. We just get to watch soccer after an exciting piece of news. To me, that sounds like maybe the best evening ever. Yeah, you might be right. |
| 1:29.5 | Graham Rutherland's here. Hello, Graham. |
| 1:31.2 | Wait, the US appointed a new manager? I thought we were here just to talk about that New Zealand |
| 1:34.8 | game and the funniest equalizing goal of all time. That's what my notes are about. Yeah, we called |
| 1:40.8 | it the most rec league US goal conceded of all time, I believe, on the Tuesday night show, Graham, which I think still has some standing. |
| 1:48.5 | But, yeah, that one's in the past. |
| 1:49.8 | That's old USMNT. |
| 1:51.0 | Let's put that behind us, shall we? |
| 1:52.3 | It was slightly telling that, at least for me, I wasn't sure I could concede that, because they've conceded some rec league goals. |
| 1:58.1 | But yes, that's on the past. |
| 1:59.6 | No more of that. Instead, it's going to be high scoring and maybe high conceding performances under Maricio Pochitino. Let's do it. That's right. The quote from Pochitino upon his appointment, the decision to join U.S. soccer wasn't just about football for me. It's about the journey that this team and this country are on. The energy, |
| 2:17.7 | the passion and the hunger to achieve something truly historic here. Those are the things |
