Summary

On today's episode, after a brief foray into the chaos that is DC United, we do our best to answer some particularly excellent listener questions!

1) Could Harry Kane be considered the best and/or most complete player in the Premier League? Could he one day win the Ballon d'Or?

2) With the USMNT talent pool getting younger and deeper, who are some names to be on the look out for (and whom might they replace)?

3) Are there any soccer examples of odd things happening in soccer to fulfill contract requirements? (inspired by Jrue Holiday's appearances clause)

4) Which current player would you most like to see as a player-manager?

5) Who would be the other contenders for a "Pass"-kas award, if they gave one out? What are some of the best all-time passes?

6) What are your hottest takes on life, podcasting, and soccer in general?

7) How will Taylor go about ruining Ryan's day when England plays the USA in the World Cup?

0:00.0	Welcome to the total soccer show and our latest batch of listener questions.
0:24.6	From Harry Kane's Ballandoor Chances to the USMNT Talent Pool via contenders for the PASSCAS Awards for the best ever pass, we've got you covered today.
0:35.4	My name's Ryan Bailey.
0:36.6	Joining me today is a man who has much better answers to your questions the Man United have to the questions being asked of them, Taylor Rockwell, is that right? It is. It implies that Manchester United have actual answers to the questions being asked, which I'm not sure they do. But yeah, I'll take that. Thanks, Ryan. How you doing, buddy? I'm doing very well. Are you excited that Eric Ten Haag is officially going to be temporarily Manuities manager for a year or so? Sure. Why not? I don't know. I mean, I have some hesitation. I'm a little bit nervous. I like all the things that have been put out publicly about how he's refusing to do anything commercial side, anything that's being asked of
1:11.7	him that doesn't fit in with his football strategy. That feels like a thing that's been missing
1:15.2	from Man United. The official Japanese traction engine sponsor is going to have words about that,
1:20.3	Taylor. That's all I can say. Also joining us, Taylor, is a man looking forward to answering
1:25.3	your questions like Fuller looking forward to getting crushed into Premier League every week next season. Hello, Graham Rutherman.
1:31.2	Hello, Ryan Bailey. Their record, I saw it laid out on Twitter last night of recent seasons is just funny, actually.
1:39.2	Premier League Championship, Premier League Championship, Premier League Championship, Premier League Championship. Maybe one day the street will be broken and they'll stay in the championship for two seasons.
1:46.5	Yeah.
1:46.8	Just never playing Norwich, I think, is their rules now.
1:49.6	They're just going to switch places each year.
1:51.7	Well, I mean, I'm in favour of that, yeah.
1:53.5	I'm anti-Norwich now for what they've done to Billy Gilmore.
1:56.9	Oh, boy, another story altogether.
1:58.5	But congrats to Fullen promoted earlier this week with a three-new win over Preston.
2:02.8	Rounding out our pack for this listener question, a man who motors through your listener questions like Detroit City, motors through intimidating U.S. Open Cup ties.
2:11.8	Do you like my Open Cup tie reference, Joe Lowry?
2:14.8	I do, Ryan. The U.S. Open Cup has been just so, so good. I missed it last year.
2:19.6	I haven't sat down and watched a full game yet, but you had Detroit City moving their way through, I believe the Columbus crew.
2:25.4	You had a couple of upsets last night. Excuse me, cup sets last night. USL League one teams beating MLS teams.
