Welcome to the total soccer show and our latest foray into the listener questions mailbag.

Today, we're asking if any MLS team could hang in a match with the national team.

We discuss whether Zhao Felix was born in the wrong era.

And we want to know if anyone cares who manufactures Liverpool's kit.

I know Graham does.

My name's Ryan Bailey joining me today. Taylor Rockcore. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan. I loved that question because I sort of asked Graham that same question point blank, and now we get to go further into it on this episode. It also reveals to the audience how much of a grumpy old man I've become about kits having been a lover of that kind of thing previously

taylor yay i've changed you could still like kits just not you don't have to be like ooh adidas now

i never saw the day what a drop wow yeah look at this collab great ruffin hello i mean i feel personally

slightly slighted at the start of this episode because that is entirely my brand.

And yes, I was very excited about Adidas becoming Liverpool kit suppliers.

And yes, I am excited about whatever collab they've got cooking up for next season.

You know, Graham, when you watch these cribs episodes and they have those giant wardrobes where you open them up and there's

a million shirts and all the shoes lined up. Do you have like a repository like that for all your

shirts? I do. And I got the, a workman came into my house. I've recently moved house. Had to go up into

the loft. And so I had to go into the room, the football room, and the cupboard that I used for my shirts and wasn't able

to warn him before he went into there and opened the cupboard and his words were, what is

going on in here? And I was like, adult child. It's a load bearing cupboard wall of shirts.

We use that to really hold up this side of the house. That's very impressive. It reminds me there's a TV show called Hacks on HBO, where the star of the show, a famous comedian, they have so many clothes that they keep them in a warehouse, like 50 miles away from their house, and they occasionally go and visit it to find old stuff. I imagine you've got a warehouse as well, right? I mean, that might be in the pipeline, yes. I might have no choice. Or a second house. Here's what I would say, Graham, I think you should question that workers' credentials because if they have been doing that job long enough and been in people's houses long enough to open up a wardrobe and see a bunch of shirts and be like, what is this? I'm sure they've seen worse, or at least a veteran contractor who's been in people's houses, has seen a lot worse than a big thing of football shirts. That doesn't feel that surprising to me is, I guess what I'm saying. See, the thing is one half of the wardrobe is shirts. The other half is my Andy Murray shrine. And so I think he was reacting to that, yeah. Wow. You're Andy Murray real ball. Yeah, okay. Now I understand. Now I understand. Okay. Before that reveal, I was picturing this guy sort of opening the dishwasher and going, plates? What are you doing here? This is crazy. Wow.

Cinnamon in the spice rack? I never. Now I've seen everything.
