Hello, Hello and welcome everybody to The Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell.

And on today's episode, we're going to be answering several list of questions and taking a look at the Conca Calf Champions League.

To help me do so, I've got two gentlemen.

The first remains in contention, excuse me,

for the vacant coaching gig at Red Bull Salisburg, not R.B. Salisberg. Pending a background check, it's Joe Lauery. Hello, Joe. Hello, Taylor. I'm just going to announce it now. I will not be taking that job. I'm flattered to be considered, but it's not quite the right step in my career right now. you're ruling yourself out of contention.

Is it because of the background check?

Were you nervous about that?

Oh, I'm terrified.

Yeah. It's not quite the right step in my career right now. You're ruling yourself out of contention.

Is it because of the background check? Were you nervous about that? Oh, I'm terrified. Yeah. Don't know. Don't let them do that on me. They can't find it. I think of the three of us, you two might be the ones who maybe would come away from a background check more clean than myself, just guessing. and that third person, who I've referenced twice now, also joining us as a man who watched every minute of the Conca Calf Champions League last night, and now he's committed several off-the-ball fouls already this morning. It's the Baron Lord himself, Adam Snavely. Hey, Adam, how you doing, buddy? Bump, bum, bum, bum, bum, on the total soccer show today, it's Adam Snavely.

Hi, hi, everybody.

Toto. Wow. Okay.

Thank you, Joe. It took me a minute to figure it out. I wasn't sure if that was like the Cacaquecaf Champions League theme for a second there. Taylor, you clearly have not spent enough time around acapella groups. That is correct. And I aim to keep it that way. Have you spent a lot of time around acapella groups? Not at all, but I like to sing.

Okay, all right. But you were not in one in college or anything like that. Absolutely not. I feel like you might have been wearing a Letterman jacket and snapping those fingers. I feel like it's in there. I feel like it's in there. I wore a Letterman jacket in high school, soccer and swimming. Thank you, two sport athlete. athlete. But in college, I was mostly well-known for writing poetry. So, I mean, take that however you will.

A Letterman poetry jacket. I like it. I like it. Whoa. You are both here to help me talk about these listener questions to also talk about the Cockcalf Champions League. And Adam, since you watched both of the games last night in their entirety,

what were your general impressions?

Because I will admit that I watched them with like half an eye on them,

half an eye on everything else that I was doing.

So waking up to Twitter this morning, it feels like the reaction has been,

the officiating was terrible and all of this is

unjust.
