| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. |
| 0:19.9 | My name is Daryl Grove and I'm joined by a man who obsessively checks the Dutch Provisional Rosters. |
| 0:26.5 | His name is Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:28.7 | Hello. |
| 0:29.3 | Hello, I do and was surprised to see that you hadn't already retweeted the Dutch Provisional Roster, |
| 0:34.9 | because the only person who checks that more than me is Adam Bells, |
| 0:37.4 | and the only person who checks it more than Adam Bells is you. And why was it important? Why was the Dutch provisional roster that important? Well, there was some speculation that maybe we could see Sergenio Dest on that roster or the Dutch provisional U23 roster, which was also released. U23? It's going to be U-21. Maybe that, maybe that. |
| 0:54.5 | But he was not on either one. Should be noted that could also be because I think in order to represent either team, he has to file a one-time switch because he has played for the U.S. before. Yes. So it could be that maybe he's, like, ruled it out. But it could also just be that they had to call up a bunch of players before he had been able to follow the one-time switch. |
| 0:51.1 | So basically, things remain as they were. |
| 0:53.4 | My thinking is, why? But it could also just be that they had to call up a bunch of players before he had been able to follow the one-time switch. |
| 1:11.6 | So basically, things remain as they were. |
| 1:13.9 | My thinking is, why would you want to play for the Dutch when you could play in the Conquer Calf Nations League in October? I mean, that's the question. For the U.S. men's national team. I feel like the Dutch F.A. might ask him that, but with an ironic tone. Like that might be it |
| 1:08.8 | That would be their whole pitch |
| 1:09.7 | The Conquer Calf what now |
| 1:10.9 | So yeah we |
| 1:13.1 | Obviously we look forward to the U. ironic tone. Like, that might be it. That would be their whole pitch. The Conquer Calf, what, no? |
| 1:23.9 | So, yeah, we obviously we look forward to the US roster for those games against Canada and Cuba. Conquer Calf Nations League. If Desk's name is on there and he accepts the caller, we can put a cap on his head and it'll be glued there forever. That's how it works. That's how cap tying works. Exactly. That's it. It's there forever. |
| 1:26.1 | Yeah, a couple of ifs in there, a couple of big ifs in there. |
| 1:45.9 | One thing that is no longer an if is whether or not Major League Soccer will stop dealing with the Iron Front or sort of banning the Iron Front, throwing people out, because they announced today they're not going to do that anymore. Yeah, so this is kind of a victory for MLS support groups, right? They've sat down with MLS, had a conversation, |
| 1:46.0 | and the today, they're not going to do that anymore. Yeah, so this is kind of a victory for MLS support groups, right? |
| 2:02.0 | They've sat down with MLS, had a conversation, and the end result is that MLS are not going |
| 2:06.6 | to enforce the ban on the iron front being displayed at MLS games. |
