Welcome to the Total Soccer Show Weekend Review.

We're looking back on a weekend where Kane brought the pain and somehow stayed in the game

as Spurs returned from their forced two-week vacation to test a COVID-ravaged Liverpool.

Much like TRL in the 90s, the USMNT enjoyed some cast and base success with some new faces,

some debut aces and a solid basis for the program to move forward.

Elsewhere, Iax won Declassica, Leeds suffered another massacre and at Alessco Madrid,

well lackluster doesn't really rhyme, got away with it.

My name is Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today is a man who's a lot like Totter versus Liverpool in that he produces very entertaining points. Taylor Rockwell, hello. Hello, I'll take that over being frenetic but without anyone ending up feeling satisfied. Yeah, yeah, I'll take yours.

Good. All right then. I'm glad we settled on that. How are you doing this weekend, Taylor? It's been a weekend. Our daughter has been carrying a fever, and then this morning we could not find our keys.

So we had to call a locksmith. It's been an eventful morning, but not quite as eventful as, say, VAR and the Premier League. Did the baby eat the keys, Taylor? I mean, we'll find out.

She's at the pediatrician right now.

So if my wife returns with the set of keys, we are bad parents.

Well, if you shake her and she jingles, then you know she's...

I don't need to go there, Taylor. Not one part of that was going to be a good idea. Not one part of it. I'm going to move on. Also, here's a man who looks forward to out-of-window, USM-N-T friendly's like the rest of us look forward to the holidays.

Hello, Joe Lowry. Hello, Ryan. I hate how accurate that is, but I was pretty excited for that game. Less excited after seeing the lineup and certainly less excited after having sat through the whole thing. But nevertheless, here we are. Is that not a rock and roll Saturday night for you, Joe, watching a friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina? Don't come from my brand like that, Ryan.

Don't come from my brand.

Bless you, Joe, watching a friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Don't come for my brand like that, Ryan. Don't come from my brand.

Bless you, Joseph. We will be talking about that game, of course, in detail later on in this show. But Joe, just a little check-in on you as well. You had your COVID booster. Good for you, bud. How are you feeling? Scale of 1 to 10. I'm at about a three right now.

We're up on the energy levels for this show,

but I'm not doing the best.

Still absolutely worthwhile.
