Welcome to the Total Soccero!

Welcome to the Total Soccer show and a show we like to call USMNT Weekly.

The Conquer Calf Nation's League finals are upon us.

And on Thursday night, the national team will be in action in Los Angeles against Panama.

And then a match against Canada or Mexico on Sunday, either the final or the third

place playoff we shall see. On this episode, we're previewing the Panama game, but before all

of that, we're looking at a huge story that has broken just before we record a pretty

seismic change that's coming to American soccer. Let's get into it. My name's Ryan Bailey,

joining me today to get into it.

Taylor Rockwell's here wearing a lovely pastel blue today. Hello, Taylor. Well, I'm tired of being called a cat burglar, and we all know you can't commit crimes while wearing aqua. Yeah, I don't really know what this one is. I'm excited to talk USM&T. I'm excited to talk pro rel. I've been watching some Survivor.

They like the spontaneous vote outs.

And in honor of ProREL, I think whichever one of USM and T. I'm excited to talk pro rel. I've been watching some Survivor. They like the spontaneous

vote outs and in honor of pro relo. I think whichever one of us just like stops talking out of

nowhere means they've been relegated and they're not going to. Okay. Yeah. Audio relegation jokes.

We're kicking off on fire this morning on the total soccer show with Taylor the... That was gold.

That was a gold joke and I don't appreciate the sarcasm. Waring such a lovely shade of blue, I can't be mad at you, Taylor, frankly. Thank you, buddy. You blend right in with the blue buildings in your neighbourhood. Graham Rutherland's here. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. How are you this international break? Are you enthused? When you mentioned the big news during

an international break, I thought you were talking about George Hurst declaring to play for

Scotland in this international break. That's what all my notes are about, right? That's what

you're talking about. The time you just said, yeah. I definitely want to call him Jeff Hurst

every time I talk about him, which is not

great for a Scottish, a Scottish player. Remind us who Jeff Hurst was, Graham, and what he did for a great nation? He's the only player to score a two-go hat trick in a World Cup final. Oh, he did it, he did it. It went in, it went in, Graham. We all know it. Joe Lowry's here. Hello, Joe. Hey, guys, I'm not at all offended that you haven't commented on my shade of blue.

That's, you know, no worries, not a problem at all.
