Welcome to the Total Soccer Show, World Cup Daily.

Croatia's determination was unbending, but they were dealt the most brutal ending.

Their dramatic late equalizer filled Portugal with dread, only to be ruled out because the ball touched one hair on one head. It was much more clear

cut for Spain who are gearing up to continue their reign and Switzerland went for it was an attitude

of loo. That's what you should do when you've got real and bolo. Sure. My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today. Hi, Taylor Rock. How are you? Hi, Ryan Bailey. I'm well. What was the last ram again?

I didn't say it correctly, but it was going to be. Switzerland went for it with an attitude of yolo.

That's what you should do when you've got real M. Bolo. The man who only appears at tournaments and then goes away somewhere.

According to legend, he does exist at club level, but nobody knows where. He's wonderful, and he got on the score sheet. We'll get to him later on. Not before we said hello to Joe Lowry. Hi, Joe. How are you? Hey, you know, I'm doing all right. I apologize to listener and viewer that my voice is not restored to normal. I sound like some sort of nasally, I don't know, I sound like a nasly soccer podcaster,

perhaps because that's what I am. listener and viewer that my voice is not restored to normal. I sound like some sort of nasally,

I don't know. I sound like a nasly soccer podcaster, perhaps because that's what I am. Hmm. Yeah, we are indeed. Graham Ruffin's here. Are you a nasally erer? Nasally er. Yeah, there's a nasal scale, right? It's all relative. Graham Ruffin, how nasally are you? Always, right, Bailey. That's my general Uber as nasily soccer podcaster.

Ryan, how are you? Always. Ryan, Bailey, that's my general Uber as nasally soccer podcaster. Ryan, how are you? I feel like we spent every minute of every day together for three weeks. And I haven't spoken to Taylor and Joe for two days. And I haven't spoken to you for three days. And it feels like I haven't seen you in like a decade. How was Atlanta? How was the game? Oh, it was wonderful. Thank you very much for asking. One of the best soccer experiences I've ever had. I get it now, Graham. International soccer's amazing. It's not terrible anymore. It's amazing. I get it. Well, that's subjective. I feel like your World Cup experience with your national team was slightly better than mine in Boston. Yeah, talk to me on Monday morning when we've been through the rigmarole of England playing at 2,000 metres above sea level at the Azteca. But yes, yes, very good indeed. Thank you for asking. Graham, if you'd like to learn more about that, you should head to patreon.com slash total soccer show where our bonus content lives. I've done a bonus video. We're going to do some episodes about that as well. There's also access to our Discord server. All of the cool kids are hanging out in our Discord server. Go join them. Thank you to everybody who is in there already. Patreon.com slash Total Soccer show. All right. Good to be back on the feed.

Fun stat for you, Taylor, before we begin.

The winner of every round of 32 game so far has been the country with the most airports or airfields.

Wow.

What?

Was that an opt-a one?

How did they end that tweet? Travel.

Was that a desperate chat GBT? Tell me something that's a commonality.

Where did that come from?

I saw it on Reddit.

Some teams are absolutely flying, Taylor. That's what we've learned.
