Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of the Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell, joining me to talk about actual live soccer it's mr ryan bailey ryan it's been so long how are you oh i'm

wonderful taylor thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about some actual real life soccer

but before we get there i've got some bad news i've been having a a bit of a battle in my home with a chipmunk.

I saw you tweet about this. So is it in the garage or has it moved to the kitchen? Has it taken over

entirely? I'm in my garage right now, which is where my studio is. My car hole doesn't have cars

in it. It has a studio in it. And I went in here yesterday to shoot something and I had a little rustling. And then I see, oh, little chippy, little chippy running around there. Couldn't get him out. I did what I had to do. And he was still there just sitting there looking at me. I had the door open. He wouldn't leave. And I don't know if he's in here still. And I looked

out this morning up my window and there was a chipmunk on the patio. So either he's out and he's still

taunt to me and trying to get back in or he's summoning his friends. I mean, that feels likely. Maybe

you're under surveillance, chipmunk surveillance. I do appreciate that your efforts to get rid of the chipmunk appear to be open the door and then cross fingers? Oh, like sort of throw tennis balls vaguely near it, not at it, near it, so that it would move. That was one. I also went, Alvin! I was going to ask this. This is the next question. Which one? Are we talking, are we talking an Alvin assignment or Theodore. I couldn't see what color shirt he was wearing. I didn't get it at that point either. Which one? Are we talking in Alvin, a assignment, or a Theodore?

I couldn't see what color shirt he was wearing. I couldn't get close enough look. I do appreciate that you lay out the custom tiny chipmuck t-shirts for any chipmunks that do happen to be in your studio. It's a good look. And they are Charlotte branded, right? I had it coming, really, when you think about it. They were, are they Charlotte branded though?

Are you like that on brand that you already give them Charlotte MLS swag to wear? Of course. That's what I like to hear. Well, maybe the Chipmunk has made its farewell. See what I did there. But we are going to be talking today about some players who definitely made their farewells. We did best debuts you and I did last week, I believe. So this week we're going to be looking at some of the best farewells in club career or international career history. We're going to talk a little bit about what farewell exactly means, because I think it's kind of a sliding scale. But first, as I said in the intro, we've got actual soccer to talk about. Daryl and I broke down some of the games on Saturday.

There were games Sunday.

There was a game yesterday that did not go well for Verda Bremen.

Ryan, I know you've got some stuff from the weekend.

But let's start with Verde Bremen for a moment, a game that some people may have seen, I'm guessing more than usual, would have seen, since, you know, we're all at home and have nothing to do but it was vera bremen with josh sergeant getting some minutes getting pretty pretty beaten up and that's where i want to start because i know we try to avoid hot takes on this show to some extent we don't always do the hot takey thing but i do have a hot take for you on this one you ready go on i don't think vertibremen are going to win the bundles league of this season whoa i know right it's a big one straight off the back

i think uh yeah the the four to one loss a fairly comprehensive loss
