Welcome to the Total Soccer Show.

It's our latest batch of listener questions, everybody,

and this episode is a World Cup question special.

We're deciding which team's players will score the most goals.

We're bubble-wrapping five players before the tournament starts.

We're picking an 11 of players that didn't even qualify. There's so much to come in this episode. Do stick with us. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today, hi, Taylor Rockwell. How's things with you, sir? Hello, Ryan Bailey. You are the resident question selector. My question for you for this one. At what point did you decide it was going to be World Cup themed? When I looked at all the most recent questions and most of them had a World Cup bent to them. That was it. That'll do it. It's not that scientific. Yeah. He doesn't decide. Everyone else did it. Exactly. The people spoke, Taylor. The people spoke. And we've answered some questions. Well, we will do over the next 45 minutes or so.

Graham, Ratham, hello. How are you? I'm good, Ryan Bailey. I very much enjoy your hat. I like the neon

crown on it. YouTube viewers will be able to see the hat that Ryan is wearing. Is a neon crown,

is that common? Like, do we think monarchies, like the English monarchy, do they have a neon crown? Like for raves? There must be different versions of crowns, like dress crowns, casual crowns, rave crowns. There's got to be them. It's a rave crown. It's a rave. Yeah. That's right. Thank you very much, Graham. This is from the Charlotte FC lightning thing they did where they had the really offensively luminous

shirt as well. I've got the jacket of this. I think Joe's got the one of you's got the Seattle

jacket. Oh, I've got the Seattle jacket. Yeah, it's you. Oh, it's the same, so it's the same line

is it, right? Was the marketing for the Seattle jacket better than whatever you just said about

the Charlotte one,

offensively luminous or whatever the tagline was? Being on the offence can be good in soccer. Oh, right, sure. It was that. That was what I meant. If you're watching the YouTube channel, you can see my hat. You can also see Joe Lowry's lovely face. Hi, Joe. Oh, wow, that's so nice. We probably come up with a better pitch to come

check us out on YouTube if you're so inclined, or if you're an audio listener, just stay there. You know, like, why change your routine? I'm sure it's lovely. You've got a system down. You know when to listen to us. You'll probably listen to us right now, headphones out on the subway or in some other public space. Keep doing that. Everybody loves it. Keep it up. Yeah, just imagine Ryan and his neon

and his rave crown. He normally wears his dress crown for these episodes. It's feeling less, it's Saturday, Graham. I'm feeling less formal. I'm in rape crowd. Makes sense. Everyone can't wait for the large of the life teapot to come out from backstage. I'm looking forward to that. Oh, what a treat that would be. Look out, listener. Look out. By the way, Taylor,

you obviously, you had an injury earlier this week. We are towards the end of the week,

I hope feeling better now. I promise there will be no more I chat, particularly what Joe said

on that other show a few days ago. That was a plus 15 moment, if I've ever felt one. I warned everyone. I feel no remorse. Yeah. You didn't warn me. I couldn't skip it. I had to listen to it all over again. Good point. No more I chat. I'm good on eye chat. Although Graham loves it. Graham wants to hear more in-depth conversation about eye injuries. I had to skip that whole bit as well. Joe, you're going to compensate us for the ad dollars we lost on yesterday's episode? Worth it. Well, if you want to see all of our functioning eyes in their realistic glory, you can head to Los Angeles this June. What a pitch. I know, right? My eyes barely work, man. I don't know about it all of us. I mean, yeah, at least two of us wear glasses and one of us has an eye injury. One pair of functioning eyes.
