| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Darrell Grove and I'm joined today by Yahoo Soccer's Henry Bushnell. Henry, hello from Chicago. |
| 0:26.1 | Hello, Darrell. It's great to be on with you. |
| 0:28.1 | And I guess I've got that the wrong way around. I'm in Richmond. You're in Chicago. |
