Hello,

Hello everybody and welcome to the Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell, and on today's episode, it's time to do some USM&T weekly reviewing.

We've got a roster to break down.

It's the latest USM&T squad for upcoming Nations League games.

Here with me to analyze, discuss, and critique is Diazio Luna Lowry.

DeAjo, how are you this morning?

I am great.

I've decided that I never want to type the name DeAio Luna into the recording software

we're using ever again because it didn't love the way that it came out.

But I do love that Diego Luna is in this roster.

And even more than that, Taylor, I love the energy that you're bringing on a Wednesday morning. Let's go. I'm ready to run through a wall. I think Graham was still in shock over there. This is great. I'm stoked for the show. Let's do it. I've just woken up. It's two in the afternoon over here, but that blew some cobwebs out, that intro. Graham, would you like to be further excited by your terrible USM and T portmanteau? Go on. Green Ruffman? Tim Ream? Graham Ruffman? Green the dream. Yeah, there you go. Green. I'll take that. I mean, you know, compared to Joe, I am the old man of this podcast, so I suppose that is, that's rather apt. I'm excited to get my call up today to this show. Obviously, I know you and Joe did the quick take analysis yesterday. I think what did it for me last week, Taylor, was how I powered through with my sore back. And so, you know, I'm like Diego Luna with his broken nose and I've got my mask on today so I'm ready for duty.

It sounds like you're also pulling a Daigle Luna with your pulled calf.

Yeah, yeah, pulled calf, general aging. It's all very fun.

Waking up to my daughter, literally jumping knees first onto my chest.

Nice.

Give me a good morning and say that she missed me. It's a mixed emotions sort of day, Graham.

But I'm glad you're here. You impressed in your January call up, and so we've decided to have you back. Also, Grim does sound like it could be a Scottish accent. 100% agree. A specific part of your country. 100% agree. Whether or not Graham does, don't know. Yeah. See? there we go. Graham gets it. Graham gets it. Is that Scottish people saying cream or Scottish people saying Graham?

It's actually a Scots term for just like Dreek weather in a February morning. Oh, Drach weather. Very green this morning. Yeah, that's what I think that means. Gotcha. So just weather from context and gather. That's just the weather. I didn't need to specify February morning, just every morning. Right. I still want to establish a game of Graham trying to sneak in nonsense words and claiming they're Scottish and we have to decide if they are real or if they are not. Because I think that would be a lovely game and I think I would lose every time. Joe, let's hope that USM&T doesn't lose every single time in this nation's league window.

Can you set the stage for people who are tuning back

into the U.S.? What are these games? Why are we playing? Yeah, so the U.S. will play against

Panama and the semifinals of the Conca Calf Nations League in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium.
