Welcome to the total soccer show and our review of the USMNT's 2-1 victory over Guatemala,

a win that puts Marizio Pochitino's side in the Gold Cup final this Sunday.

A Diego Luna brace made the difference in a match that wasn't completely straightforward,

but which had many positives.

Let's get into it.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Join me today, your friend, my friend, Taylor Rockwell.

Hello, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

I enjoyed this game, I think, such that I went full sicko mode and watched it twice.

I've got thoughts.

I've got thoughts.

Oh, hang on.

So are we talking twice back to back, like once in the evening, once in the morning?

How did we do this?

Back to back and then watched most of the Mexico Honduras game after that. Because, again, full sickle mode. Oh, my gosh. Graham Rutherland's here. Hello, Graham. If you were to rewatch a game, would you do it instantaneously after? Maybe take a walk, or would you do? So I also, well, I thought I had gone

full sickle mode with this match because I also

rewatched this game, but I had six hours of sleep in between those rewatchings. So, yeah, Taylor's putting me to shame here. No, I mean, and that is probably the healthier, smarter way to do it. There is the established rule from our late coast, Daryl Grove, that you have to take a break. You have to go for a walk. You have to get a cup of coffee. You have to do something to kind of reset because otherwise you stay right in the same emotional state and then you go back and watch the beginning through a lens of like, this might not be good enough. And that's not what you want. You want the pressure is off. I know it happened. I'm not like emotionally connected to this game anymore. So now I can watch it and see the moments I might have missed because I was emotionally connected the first time. Okay. And I promise we'll get into talking about this game, Taylor. But when you watch second time, do you feel like you get a lot more information? Is it just different things you see?

I think I'm, I'm trying to explain that. Like, I think I'm less like nervous and there's less anxiety and pressures so I can kind of then see what's happening more and I feel less

motivation to watch the ball and watch exactly what's happening. I can see sort of how plays

are developing a bit more and and maybe start to see more trends and patterns than I did the first time when I'm just

focused on like, that's not good enough. Why is this happening? Oh no. Oh, yay. I think you remove that
