Welcome to USMENT. Welcome to USMNT Weekly on the Total Soccer Show.

It's our regular focus on all things men's national team.

On this episode, we're reacting to the US's World Cup group draw.

We're going to draw up a to-do list for Marizio Pochitino and much, much more.

Joining me to do so, my name's Ryan Bailey, by the way, here with me, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan Bailey. It's lovely to have the full foursome back together, and it's lovely to know that in my absence there was no F1 discussion at all, not discussed in any way in any form on this program. Yep, that checks out. Excellent. Great to have you back, Taylor. Joe Larry, hello. How are you? Hey, Ryan, I'm great. There were some folks in the Discord who said that they decided to listen to that Patreon episode, even despite their disdain for motorsports. I mean, that's just a beautiful thing, isn't it? I'm choosing to look at it in the positive. That's how lovable, Ryan, you and Grandma, it makes me very happy. Let's suppose that is a thing that happened, an episode about Formula One, on our bonus feed. Then that just speaks to the quality of our discord and community. Very much so. Good people in there. Good, like salt of the earth people. Exactly. Men of the people and persons of the people, just like myself.

Gary Matherland, hello.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

And much like many of the sons of millionaires and billionaires in the sport of F1, it's the sport of the people. That's why we talked about it on Monday. Yeah. Real community field to Formula One. That's what I think. That's right. but we never talk about it on this feed or any others. So that's as important. This isn't T. F1S. Not yet anyway.

Oh, don't give us ideas, Graham. To shift gears here towards back to work soccer in the World Cup. Nice.

I would say I didn't mean it, but I did.

183 days until the World Cup.

How does that make you feel?

Just thought I'd update you, by the way.

We need a big countdown clock, I think, maybe behind me on the wall somewhere, below the... Maybe below the Kalini pitcher, I think, countdown clock.

How does that make you feel?

183 days.

Makes me both excited and also terrified

i'm very much excited i don't love generally thinking about the passing of time because i think

it goes too quickly in general but i do like the idea of the well cut being on our doorstep but

point of order is there like a countdown clock somewhere in the u.s like in times square or something

that feels like a miss if there isn't one there must be be. A countdown clock for something almost 200 days away. Maybe feels a bit early. Is that just me? The Olympics in London, they have on for like at least a couple of years. For like a decade, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. By the way, we might have mentioned it early, but Patreon.com slash total soccer show is the best way to support us.

On there, you'll get bonus episodes exclusively about soccer, bonus video content and access to our Discord server where we're exclusively talk about soccer as well with our friends in there.
