| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccer's Weekend, RETT, Welcome to the Total Soccer Show's weekend review on today's episode. |
| 0:27.0 | We look back at a highly dramatic MLS Cup where the Connecticut Huskies are raised a double-digit first half deficit to earn a tough victory over the UCLA Bruins, 71, the MLS Cup ended. |
| 0:38.3 | Congratulations to the Huskies there. |
| 0:40.1 | It was a weekend where Cholo and Carlo put on a show at the Bernabeo for the Madrid Derby. |
| 0:45.5 | Eh, that one nearly worked. |
| 0:46.6 | Where all the Premier League big boys needed penalties to get victories, |
| 0:49.9 | whereby an increase their lead predictably, |
| 0:52.3 | and where the Champions League draw was anything but |
| 0:54.8 | simplicity. My name is Ryan Bailey. Joining me today is a man who, unlike UEFA, has never had an |
| 1:00.9 | issue handling balls in draws, Taylor Rockwell. I never have. I never have. I do always enjoy when |
| 1:07.1 | we get more things that lead to the conspiracy theories about draws. The NBA lottery |
| 1:12.4 | used to be the best one for the NBA draft, but I think the Champions League has overtaken it in |
| 1:16.5 | terms of absurdity and possible conspiracies, Ryan. Yeah, the main issue, UEFA put out a tweet |
| 1:23.2 | saying, following a technical problem with the software of an external service provider that |
| 1:26.5 | instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other, |
| 1:29.7 | a material error occurred in the draw for the UEFA Champions League round of 16. |
| 1:34.0 | They've tried to blame technology and software where a material error was putting the wrong ball in the wrong pot. |
| 1:40.0 | As always, they're blaming Skynet, and I think that's fair. |
| 1:42.8 | I think whenever you are back against the wall, blame the computers, blame the machines. It's their fault, not ours. Humanity will rise. Jolie good. Jolie good, Taylor. And yes, we will be talking about the Champions League draw a little later on the draw as it was redone. Moments before we started recording listener. Also joining us a man who had never |
| 2:02.3 | changed the rules at the end of a Grand Prix to allow a highly controversial ending. It's Grair Rubbin. |
| 2:07.2 | Hello, Ryan. Yes, it's been a chaotic 24 hours, shall we say. Between, well, MLS Cup, I guess |
| 2:15.2 | that was over 24 hours, but MLS and then F1 and then the Champions League draw. I can only presume that UEFA saw the farce of the F1 yesterday and said, hold my beer, or rather hold my pint of gas prom. Indeed, there was an incredible farce at the Formula One race in Abu Dhabi. I won't go into the details too much, Graham, but if I was is to give a soccer equivalent of what happened there, which was a safety car coming out right at the end, |
