Hello and welcome everybody to the Total Soccer show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell, and my hope is that we get through this show before dawn,

and I mean that literally, we'll see how we do, or if we fall asleep midway through this recording session.

If we do, Joe, you're going to have to drive cross-country to wake me up or just shout really loud because it is very late over here on the East Coast, but I'm still feeling energized from a no-no draw, which is surprising. But when it's a no-no draw for the U.S. men's national team on the road at the Azteca against Mexico in World Cup qualifying, it amps you up a little bit.

It's a result that sees them stay second place in Workup Qualifying for the time being.

Joining me this morning is a man who I'm assuming is only 90% focused on recording right now

because 10% of his attention span from now until maybe the day he dies will be on that Gio Raina dribble in the 77th minute.

Joe Lowry, how you doing, buddy?

It's been way too long.

I think Moadu almost lost it on that sequence.

He was really close to just totally fawning over Gio for, I think, the rest of that game, which I would completely completely respect Maurice Audeau. That would have been totally justified. Taylor, that was an electric sequence. As you mentioned, it's been too long. It's only been what, you know, a whole hour or so since we finished up our Bleach report live postgame show. A thank you, a real thank you to everyone who came in and watched us in the pregame and the post game.

We always have a ton of fun doing those shows. Taylor showed me up in a velvet suit.

There was just a lot happening and we had a blast. So thank you, thank you, thank you to everybody who came and watched.

Agreed, completely, Joe. But I want to pause to spotlight you, my friend, because it is really difficult to run a live show like that. And there's producers and graphics and whatever. But Joe keeps it organized. Joe keeps it concise. And

Joe finds a way through it all in a way that I would still be probably doing the preview show

right now, the pregame show, as we are recording the review show. So Joe kept it moving, kept it

tight, got the questions

in there, a wonderful hosting job. And now it's back to me to ramble on for a little bit.

As we head into this one, we're going to debate some lineups. We're going to break down

the tactics. We're going to talk individual performances and we'll even do some Panama

previewing there at the end. Joe, shall we get into it and maybe fight over the death, fight it to the death when it comes to these lineups? Yes, let's do it, Taylor. I'm so ready for this fight. Get it, get it going here. All right. Yeah, it's going to be real bad and not at all nerdy and polite. Let's start instead of that by setting the scene for what we

wanted to happen in this game versus what did happen. Joe, I'm not asking you to break down
