Summary

Ryan, Graham and Joe wade into your takes to decide if we're taking them or leaving them!

1) Champions League qualifying and the Champions League itself should be played in the same season.

2) A 64 team World Cup would be better than a 48 team World Cup.

3) The first day of a major tournament should not just be the opening game. It should have more games, too.

4) End the practice of transfer fees all together. Only swap deals and free transfers.

5) Trinity Rodman will go down as the greatest USWNT player ever.

6) U.S. Soccer should not use the war chest on a top level manager like Poch. Instead, they should use it to build domes for all cold weather climate MLS stadiums and force the league to switch to the European calendar.

1:03.9

It's that simple.

1:08.5

Today we're getting your spicy opinions on Champions League qualification, Trinity Robman,

2:01.5

transfer fees as a general concept and much, much more. My name's Ryan Bailey, Power Trio in the house today, kicking it off with Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. Yes, I want to be the left corner of our Power Trio triangle. I claim the left corner. Hang on, it's an equilateral triangle, so which is the left corner? The one on the left, if you want to want to just look to the left it's that one my left or your left uh graham stage left stage left stage left excellent stuff graham rather than see hello graham hello ryan can i be on the peak please can i be on the peak of the triangle let me be the peak please you do love to walk up hills graham so it's apt that you are um the hill walker at the top of the triangle. I like it. Indeed. Indeed. What did you think of the view? I sent you a picture from the top of my hill today, not the treadmill hill that was on earlier this week. The actual hill. It's not bad, right? It's very nice. As a reminder listener, Graham in his Glasgow suburb neighbourhood likes to walk up hills. Do you do it every day? I do it every day, yeah.

2:15.6

For what purpose?

2:16.3

Passing the time.

2:35.1

Sure, okay. Well, I mean, it's as productive as walking up a hill, I guess. So, like, give a go. We buried the lead. Listener, just now, you've heard, and this was also repeated earlier in our Slack, Ryan said something nice about something in Scotland. That to me was the lead. And if we weren't about to record when I'd seen that message, I was going to respond,

2:36.4

but now I'm just bringing it up now.

2:32.3

Ryan, are you, are you okay? Have you been replaced with a body devil who has the exact same accent? I don't understand. And he's been talking about something all week from the north of England. What is going on? Actually, have I become Ryan? I'm now wearing Lulu Lemon trousers and I've got a Wimbledon shirt

2:33.6
