Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Daryl Grove and I'm joined by a man who I think enjoys single elimination games. His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello. A strong opening. I think I'm correct. I will say definitively you are correct. It probably has a big thing to do with me having no vested interest in any of these teams, really. I think maybe if the team that I rooted for were on the verge of elimination, I would maybe want one more game. But yes, I've enjoyed the finality and therefore importance of these individual fixtures as opposed to, well, I guess in two weeks we'll find out if this game actually mattered yeah so these championship quarterfinals just for people who aren't keeping up instead of

being the usual two legs because of covid and all that um it's in portugal and it is one leg only

single elimination and i think it's been more exciting so i'm i'm with you and yeah especially because

there's not um the thing of us supporting the team and wanting another go yeah yeah that said I did say

before the Atalanta game that if I like I don't bet very often or haven't bet a very

long time but I was considering coming out of retirement to put all my money on Atalanta

very happy I didn't do that and really if I'd gone'd gone for, like, the parlay slash, like, predicting two, I would have been doubly wrong. Because I definitely had it as Atalanta versus Atletico in the semifinal, and I was not correct. This is why gambling responsibly means not gambling at all. There we are. That's my personal take on gambling.

The responsible thing is to just keep your money and watch the soccer.

I will amend that for me, too.

The responsible way to gamble is to gamble if you do not need the money.

As soon as you find yourself like, I better win this one.

That's not good.

Paying rent this month.

We're paying rent this month.

Keeping those kneecaps.

Come on, seven.

Well, let's get to today's game, Taylor.

We're going to talk about today's game, which was Leipzig versus Athletico Madrid.

We've got some listener questions later in the show as well.

But this game finished 2-1, 2R.B. Leipzig, with a player named, let me just get this pronunciation right,

Tyler Adams, scoring the winner in the 88th minute.

I appreciate your joke.
