Welcome to the Total Soccer Show Weekend Review.

Arsenal and Chelsea faced off in a London Derby that ended in another great result for Liverpool FC.

At times, Chelsea looked as sharp as a stiletto, especially when they equalised through Pablo Netto.

And as for the gunners, well, it wasn't always pretty, but their output is great compared to Manchester City. Yes, for Brighton, it was a well-deserved ploy, as Pet was beaten by his counterpart, a tiny baby boy. Elsewhere, Real Madrid got back on their feet, Inter and Napoli shared the points during their big meet. Dortmund slumped to another loss and Roma fired yet another boss.

But the biggest shock of the weekend is plain to see.

The MLS Cup playoffs are moving on without Leo Messi.

My name's Ryan Bailey joining me today.

It's your friend and mine, Tealer Rockwell.

Hello, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

Did your rhyming dictionary give you Derby and FC, or was that a Ryan Bailey original? Went off book for that one. How did it go? I didn't like it at first, then I wrote it out and realized it did actually rhyme. Now I like it a lot more. Thank you. Finally, did something on my own without rhymezone.com. Thank you very much, Taylor Rockwell, Graham.

That's sponsorship still working out, though. Hello, Ryan Bailey. I think you pulled it back with rhyming Pedro Netto with Stiletto, though. Look at where Pedro Netto is now. Look at him, the superstardom that has come his way. Indeed, yeah, yeah, thank you very much. Sharp and to the point, like a stiletto, Graham Rutton.

Thank you very much.

Joe Lowry.

Hello, Joe.

Welcome back.

Hey, it's great to be back, and it's even greater to be ushered back with both fantastic rhymes, as usual from Ryan Bailey, but also with the news that Lily Johannes has decided to represent the US women's national team over the Netherlands. Suck at the Netherlands. You have cool stuff there, but we have one more better soccer player than you.

Yeah, I was on a recruiting trip is what it was. He wasn't in Destiny Land. Come on. We saw through that. Yeah, right? Their whole country is underwater as opposed to ours, which is figuratively underwater. In your face, the Netherlands. We're doing great. We're thriving. Joe, what's that cool stuff the Netherlands have that you're referring to, by the way?

Just interested what your perspective on that was.

Orange kits, orange kits are cooler. Oh, nice. We're thriving. Yeah, Joe, what's that cool stuff the Netherlands have that you're referring to, by the way?

Just interested what your perspective on that was.

Like orange kits?
