Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and the glorious return of the bulletin, the show where we round up and discuss the biggest headlines and talking points from the beautiful game.

On this episode, we're looking at the 2013 Women's World Cup.

We're looking at what's next for managerless Brazil.

We're looking at the Club World Cup

playoff that seems to be on the cards. And we'll ask why Messi's giant bodyguard won't be

running on the field anymore. My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today. Your friend, my friend,

the Taylor Rock. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan Bailey. Forgive me for missing part of that

introduction. I was trying to finish up my research by counting the number of clubs that Dorival Jr. has managed or a number of teams he has managed. It's a lengthy list. It took me quite some time to count.

The guy, there was a show called The Littleist Hobo. It was about a little dog that just kept moving on and on. Every day it was in a different location. Doraville, Jr. Right there.

Long Wikipedia page.

What?

I'm not going door of O'Juno a hobo, to be clear. I'm saying he's been at a lot of places. You're just comparing him to one. You're just comparing him to the dog and the little less hobo. It was a cute dog. also probably would have mismanaged a national team had it had the opportunity.

Yeah, 2013, man, Flamenco, Vasco da Gama and Fluinence all in one year. That was a big year for him. Yeah. For the dogs, that is. 26 jobs. 26 jobs. That's a lot. It really is. I was genuinely counting it. It did take me some time because I kept losing track. But here we are. I can count all the way to 26. Taylor, have we ever done a manager Wikipedia game? We probably should. I don't think so. Dorival Jr. feels like one that is ripe for manager Wikipedia game. I think you could do like, you know, Billy Joel, we didn't start the fight. You could do one of those, the entire song, just of clubs that he has managed. Unfortunately, they're all, they're all, like, some of them are lower level Brazilian clubs, so the names get a little bit difficult to, to rattle off correctly. But I'm down. Okay. Very good. Huventudes, port receifé, avai, Sal Cantano. Yeah Yeah, it gets tricky. It works. There you go.

We'll work on the chorus later on in the show. Do stay tuned for that listener. Joe Lowry's also here. Hello, Joe. How are you? Hey, Ryan, I think I'm doing better than Doraville Jr. Actually, maybe I'm not, because he's probably still getting paid bank to not do work. So maybe not. Maybe he gets paid more to not do work than to do work if his contracts are set up right.

Someone would be said for that.

Someone would be said for that.

Between that and if I could manage that with also getting to enjoy two World Cups on U.S. oil in the next six years, I, you know, life could be worse. 20, 2013 one world cup, baby. Let's go. Yeah, let's go indeed. We'll talk about that very shortly,

but not before saying hello to Graham Rutherford. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. How are you? Are you hiding any bananas in your pocket today? Anything to surprise us there? This is not a euphemism listener. We use bananas as a method of determining draft order in our USMNT draft earlier in the week. When my kids got home from school that day,

they were like, Daddy, why? as a method of determining draft order in our USMN2 draft earlier in the week.

When my kids got home from school that day, they were like, Daddy, why have you drawn on the bananas?

I didn't have a good reason.

Yeah, there wasn't a good reason.
