Welcome to the Total Soccero and our review of the final USM&T match

before Marizzo Pochitino announces his World Cup squad.

It was a two new loss at the hands of Portugal in Atlanta.

Yes, Francesco Trincao took advantage of a lovely Bruno Fernandez backhill for the opener,

while Jewell Felix took advantage of all the space in the world when he fired home from a Bruno corner as well. But hey, remember US fans, if you're taking this bitterly, things could be worse. You could be Italy. My name's Ryan Bailey Power Trio today. Hello, Joe Lowry. How are you? I'm great. Italy should just think about hosting the World Cup and they wouldn't have these problems. That's what we did. Worked out great. Italy, take notes. That's true. That's true. When's their next opportunity? Like 2038 or something? 2096, I think it is. And they're going to have to co-host with Morocco and Saudi Arabia and also Curisout for some reason. Not sure why.

They can either need to find oil or become an autocracy.

Exactly.

They just need to expand their borders so then they can host a World Cup. It's simple.

Simple as that. Graham Ruthven. Hello. How are you?

I'm good. Ryan Bailey. I did wonder how long we'd have to wait for a jab at the Azuri. 12 seconds. Joe was timing it. Yeah. You are nothing but consistent, Ryan Bailey. It wasn't a jab. It was a quantum of solace to use that my favourite phrase once again for the American fans. Graham, that's all it was. And, of course, you're just a big Bosnia-Herzegovina fan as well, surely. That's... I have a good authority that Ryan shed tears as Esmere Baratyrvich's shot at the back of the net. That guy won't be buying himself alcohol or really, I think, anything in Bosnia Herzegovina for the rest of his life. And Ryan, if you ever sees him, I assume will give him a swift kiss on the cheek. Okay, to get this out of the way, that moment of that Italy game yesterday was my favorite moment in international soccer since England last... Of course it was. The distance. I think it's because I am coded to go for the underdog.

That's true.

Yeah, we all believe you.

And a great fan of the Italian national team.

That was unfortunate for them.

So our condolences to the...

I'll tell you what, though.

A World Cup without Italy and Ireland is a shame in the US, right, Graham?

Oh, I mean, the economic blow to the US.

Certain bars in America is going to be huge this summer.

Yeah, every establishment, every Italian and Irish establishment, would have gone big for it.

Maybe they likely still will, but it would have been that bit more special if their teams were represented.

So that is a shame.
