Thank you. Hello, hello and welcome everybody to a jubilant victorious edition of The Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell, here with me to talk about the USA's 3Cacero victory over Mexico in the Concaffe Calf Nation's League semifinals.

Is the king of Las Vegas, Mr. Las Vegas himself?

It's Joe Lowry.

Hello, Joe. How goes your position on the floor?

I can't believe that there's anyone in the world who deserves that title less than me as King of Las Vegas.

I was walking around the other day, and I still haven't had a lot of chances to explore, but I was walking around and thinking, you know, have you were seen those like little model cities, like the miniature cities? That's what walking around Las Vegas feels like. Like, it feels like you're a tiny person in like a miniature little city. It's, it is absolutely bizarre. I want to explore more today. I'm hoping to have a chance to because there's, well, honestly, who knows what's going on with the U.S. men's national team and any media manager, whatever stuff right now. We'll talk more about that later. The floor is great. Thank you for asking. I have twisted myself up, so I have a back rest, and I think it's going very well. All right. Yeah, we talked about this on the Patreon yesterday. We got into Joe's food options, his dining options while he's been there, who he's been hanging out with, and then his recording setup, which is him sitting on the floor in sort of a ball shape. He does have a roommate. Joe, do you have a, did you put a, like, a recording sock on the door? How did, how did you let? I did. It's sort of like, I just spelled out the word recording in all of my socks. It took me like 30 minutes this morning, but I think it was worth it. You got to do what you got to do.

What we have not yet talked about was your experience last night.

So you go there to the stadium early, to the Rumba Stadium for Panama and Canada. Then you are still obviously in the building for the USA's game with Mexico. How big of an atmosphere change was it

from the first game to the second game?

So big. Like, my words will fail to express how different that was. Like, the first game was

fairly empty. I mean, I don't know how many people fit at Allegiant, the big old Rumba itself,

maybe 65, 70,000 something along those lines. There were maybe 10 for the first game.

Maybe it was a little bit more than that.

I don't know.

But then, I mean, it started getting packed with green and green and more green and more green to the point where you texted me, Taylor, about the percentage.

Yeah.
