Summary
Recorded in our hotel room in New York (and not even from any particular part of Soho), Daryl and Taylor answer your listener questions, including...
- The USWNT has a higher average age than most teams, but don't have the youth team success to ensure their winning legacy. Is this an issue?
- Robin van Persie retired last summer. How will you remember his career?
- Could the US play Lindsey Horan as a false nine?
- What is the relationship between MLS and US Soccer?
- Why are Champions league knock out matches held at the same time of day?
- Where should Messi play after Barcelona and before retiring?

| 1:08.7 | My name is Daryl Grove and joining me in a very small hotel room. It's Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Hello. I would say small by some standards. Like when we were in the Midwest, it's small by those standards. By New York standards, I feel like it's somewhat spacious. I was pleasantly surprised. As was that. I was pleasantly surprised. We didn't walk in and immediately run into the bed. So that's a good start yeah we're off to a good start i've had that where like uh in turkey we stayed or no in iraq shocking we stayed in hotel where it was like the toilet air bill yes the toilet like went underneath the counter of the sink it was very weird like you're sitting on the toilet and then like sitting at the counter as well it It was a weird desk if you were very, very lazy slash gross. |

| 2:02.8 | Normally we're not sitting on beds facing each other. |

| 2:03.8 | That would be an odd studio. |
