Hello, everyone.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Total Soccer show.

My name is Joe Lowry.

On today's show, we've got some USM&T chat for you.

Normally on Tuesdays, myself and Taylor Rockwell,

talk about some of the Americans that were in action over the weekend.

But today is going to be something just a bit

different. Today I'm joined by a man that loves Beards, Bills, and Battlestar Galactica, and who also

loves answering USM&T-centric listener questions. It's Adam's Navely. Adam, I know you love the

bills and I know you have a beard. I don't really know if you like Battlestar Galactica.

Either way, thanks for coming on the show to talk about soccer and listen to my very mediocre references to the office. That's right.

It's another total soccer show episode featuring Joe in cleats and Snaves in Beard.

I have never actually watched Battlestar Galactica.

Battlestar Galactica seems to be a very specific age of nerd type of thing.

Not to call out any of you Battlestar Galactica fans out there, but it was relatively, I think, before my time of, I'm, this is something that's in the public conscious in any sort of way. But I am

glad to be here. I am happy to be talking once again about soccer with you, Joe, and any and all

tangents that we might get on because I do love me a good tangent. The tangents are going to be

real. I wasn't expecting you to go that deep into Battlestar Galactic. I'm kind of impressed that you could go that far. I have very thankful, Adam, for you coming on the show today to answer some of these questions with me. Like I said, in the intro, Tuesdays is normally Americans in Action Day. Taylor's out on vacation, so that didn't make as much sense this week. But we've got Adam coming in, stepping up, pinch hitting. What a guy, folks. And we're going to dive into a bunch of questions that you all submitted, some through the Total Soccer Show website, some through Twitter in just a minute. But first, Adam, I kind of wanted to start out this show with some general U.S. men's national team thoughts and feelings. because this is a time where we U.S.M&T-centric emotions, maybe, or at least I want to get your thoughts on some of this stuff because Taylor and I have kind of talked about it to death. But for you, having watched those three World Cup qualifiers in September, thinking about the next window that's coming up starting next week, just about nine days from now. How are you feeling about the US

M&T right now after September? Because it was not the easiest or strongest or simplest of

starts. Yeah, I think there was definitely something of a roller coaster ride of emotions that

most U.S. fans went through watching the three games that they did play first against El Salvador,

then against Canada, and then finally finishing up with the big win against Honduras.
