Summary
On a packed episode of The Total Soccer Show, Ryan is joined by Graham and Taylor to talk about allll the many things that happened this past weekend, including...
1) The NWSL Championship game: how good was Trinity Rodman, was the winning goal good or lucky or both, and praise for both teams in a hard-fought game.
2) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is out... meaning we have to talk about Manchester United again, albeit briefly.
3) Liverpool hang four on Arsenal while Klopp and Arteta did some screaming
4) Xavi is at the wheel for Barcelona's game against rivals Espanyol: what did we make of the new manager's first game?
5) MLS playoff recap, featuring thundering goals, an angry centerback, late winners, and a whole lot of fun.
6) Ryan goes to a Serie A game... and is, as expected, slightly underwhelmed.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the total soccer show's world famous weekend review. |
| 0:25.4 | On this episode, we're looking back on a weekend, where it was proven that the only people in Washington to get anything meaningful done are on their women's soccer team. |
| 0:33.9 | Am I right, politics? |
| 0:34.9 | Where Manchester United violently upended our plans to not talk about Manchester United this week, |
| 0:40.9 | where Juergen Klopp showed the way to make your team wake up, is to start a fight with the |
| 0:45.4 | opposing manager, where Barcelona had a new manager and stayed true to their roots, scraping |
| 0:50.8 | a win with questionable performances, and where MLS playoffs brought us unbridled joy, |
| 0:56.4 | unless you were one of the away teams. My name is Ryan Bailey. Joining me today is a man who, |
| 1:02.2 | much like Oligo Nusolskyar, is getting some well-deserved time off this week, Taylor Rockwell's |
| 1:07.1 | time-off coming due to some pilgrim performances, and Oli's due to some grim performances, Taylor. I thought you were like firing me live on air. I was like, wow, that's that's not the way I wanted this to go. I also wanted a cushy sit-down interview in which I was asked softball questions about how good of a job I did before being sacked. But in lieu of that, yeah, I'll take, I'll take some turkey |
| 1:28.1 | in a few days off. I'm excited for the end of the week for sure. I'm glad you are, Taylor. Maybe Ollie's less excited about the week ahead of him. We're going to get to the news about him. And listener, I apologize. We did vow not to talk about Manchester United this week, but they keep pulling us back in, don't they? |
| 1:26.2 | They keep doing it. |
| 1:27.8 | And yeah, Taylor, that, Oligan is Solskill, when he was relieved, is due to United this week. But they keep pulling us back in, don't they? They keep doing it. |
| 1:45.1 | And yeah, Taylor, that Oligan assaultskel, when who was relieved of his duties this weekend, |
| 1:49.7 | Manchester United going on the PR assault on their socials, posting an interview, a goodbye, |
| 1:56.7 | a farewell interview, I think they called it, Taylor, which is an interesting PR move for literally that company, |
| 2:02.6 | sacking that employee and then saying, here, do an interview. |
| 2:05.4 | But also, if you watch it, it's pretty good. |
| 2:08.6 | It's pretty honorable. |
| 2:09.5 | And I think I've got a lot of respect for OLE for actually doing it too. |
| 2:13.0 | Yeah. |
| 2:13.3 | I mean, I feel bad for him in the sense that it seems like every major football writer had |
