The next time. Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and the first part of our MLS 2025 Western Conference preview.

On this episode, we're going deep on Austin, Colorado, Dallas, Houston, L-AFC, The Galaxy, Minnesota and Portland.

We're looking at how each of those teams is shaping up for 25,

the big movers and shakers, our very specific predictions, and much, much more. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today, it's your friend. It's my friend, the Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan. I love your introduction. It feels appropriate to call this part one of the Western Conference, and then it's part three of our previews overall. That feels very on brand from Major League Soccer in which you have the conference finals, and then the cup after that with conference semifinals before. It all gets a little murky, and I like that our introduction has reflected that. Let's not get all Star Wars and start pre-part one and two and three stuff.

Let's just keep it simple.

Prequel previews? I like it, which I guess is what a preview is.

Exactly.

By the way, listener, we are available on YouTube.

If you're watching, you'll see Taylor is just like a cat burglar today.

I'm loving it, Taylor.

Because I'm wearing a black shirt.

Uh-huh.

All right. You've got a little black hat to go on it as well? Yeah, you haven't seen my black ski mask and all the other stuff that really helps the cat burglar aesthetic. Good to see. I mean, I'm also wearing black, so we could both be cat burglars in crime. Graham Mothers here wearing a lovely Portland timber shirt. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. Yes, I decided. I'm trying to keep this up on every episode, something relating to the teams we're going to talk about in every episode. So I'm not previewing the timbers today, but I thought I'd wear this shirt that definitely doesn't have my name on the back of it because it was gifted to me a few years ago. Well, Graham, Graham has a follow-up question to that. That's only natural. Have you ever been to Portland?

No, I never mention it at all. Okay. I'd like to go. I've heard it's really nice. I've heard that like MLSP pay for people to go there on gifted trips for big matches. Yeah, it'd be great, Joe, to answer your question. Sounds good. We should put that on the air sometime, Graham. You're regal us with your story. because clearly you've never done that before.

Joe Lowry, hello. How are you?
