Hello and welcome to the total sucker show. My name is Daryl Grove and I am not joined by Taylor Rockwell today

because he is fully 3,000 miles away in Seattle for MLS Cup.

But don't worry.

I have two great guests that I've chatted with

and two great conversations to share with you, I promise.

Before I introduce my guests, I'm very excited to let you know slash remind you

that the second season of our spin-off show, Soccer 101, is underway.

Episode 1 published last night in which Taylor and I collaborate and then argue

and then compromise to create our

all-time US men's national team 11. If that sounds good to you, then please either A, go

refresh your Soccer 101 feed or B, go subscribe to Socker 101 and start listening. A lot of time

and a lot of love has gone into every episode

of Soccer 101 so I can confidently say it's some of our very best work. But back to today,

my first guest is Jeff Kassuf of the Equalizer. Jeff and I spoke early this morning just a few

short, cold hours after Vladko and Donofsky's debut

as US Women's National Team head coach, which was a three-two win over Sweden. Jeff and I talked

about what's changed and what stayed the same under the new head coach. I'd call it evolution,

not revolution. And we also looked ahead to what the future holds for the world cup winning team later in the show

i talked to bobby warsaw to get his preview of mLS cup lots of good tactical talk and insight in that conversation

mostly from bobby to help you get prepped or pumped or both for sunday's game we also semi-accidentally

veer off into talking US men's national team

and the Behrhelter era, so stick around to the end for that part of the conversation.
