Welcome to the Total Soccero

and our look ahead to the Total Soccer Show and our look ahead to the Copper America and more specifically the USMNT's prospects in the Copper America.

We're going to take the temperature on our expectations for the hosts.

We'll analyse the roster and we'll give you a decent idea of what to expect from Greg Beahalter's side.

Well, hopefully we will anyway.

My name's Ryan Bailey joining me.

It's a power trio.

Taylor Rockwell's here.

Hello, Taylor.

Hopefully, indeed. Thank you for setting the bar, Ryan. I appreciate it. Always hopeful. Joe Lowry, always hopeful as well. Hello, Joe. Yeah, that's a bar. I think we can step over quite easily.

Let's do it, fellas.

Let's do it indeed.

You gents have just come off recording a little

review of the massive 1-1 victory over Brazil. So I imagine, Taylor, you're in a slightly

different position, mood-wise, than you were at the weekend. Do you remember the old

advertisement where the guy sits in front of the speaker and then like it starts cranking

as loud as possible and he like slowly gets blown back by the speaker. That was sort of Joe,

I think, in the introduction to that episode we just recorded. Because yeah, I was coming in hot,

Ryan, definitely feeling a little bit more optimistic, definitely feeling a little bit more

enthusiastic about this US team after that Columbia results. And we talked about it on that episode, not just because it was a draw against Brazil,

but because the draw against Brazil came from a spirited fightback performance from the United

States.
