| 0:02.0 | Hello and welcome everyone to the day. |
| 0:07.0 | Hello and welcome everyone to the Total Soccer show. |
| 0:26.1 | My name is Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:27.5 | And with me today to answer all of your many questions is a man who has answers to those questions. |
| 0:32.7 | Why is the sky blue? |
| 0:33.9 | What is the sound of one hand clapping? |
| 0:35.8 | Can I scream into my opponent's face? We're going to answer |
| 0:38.5 | at least one of those with me to do that is Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. Hello, Taylor. Man, I've had the whole why is the sky blue thing explaining to me so many times. And I still do not know the answer off the top of my head. So I'm glad we're not actually going to be talking about that and we're going to be talking about. I think it was the third question that you listed there. |
| 0:36.9 | I'm doing well. I'm glad to be not actually going to be talking about that and we're going to be talking about. I think it was the third question that you listed there. |
| 0:56.0 | I'm doing well. I'm glad to be here. Let's answer some questions, man. Dude, I've done that same thing where I've been like, I'm like, I really did happen when I think my wife was pregnant. I was like, I'm a dad. My child is going to ask you why is sky blue. I need to have a succinct answer for this. |
| 0:51.6 | I'm sure that exists. |
| 0:52.7 | And after two minutes of reading the first Google response, I was like, nope, it's prisms and reflected color. And it was too much for me. It was too much. So I'm with you on that one. But hopefully we can answer you at least one of those. But we do have several good ones to get to. They range from Champions League to international soccer to a little bit of U.S. soccer as well. Should note, if you're listening to this, the day it comes out, Joe and I are going to be answering some more questions this evening over on stereo, answering all of your many questions about all of the many U.S. national teams. Could be the men's, could be the women's, could be the U-23s. We're going to get into all of it. If people want to get into it with us, they can do that again at 8 p.m. But for now, Joe, we have our first question. Would you like to ask or would you like to answer? I'd like to ask if that's okay with you, because I think there's some emotion that goes with this, I'm ready to bring it. This one's from Jackie Choi, who says, sigh, here goes. |
| 1:45.4 | Does. I think there's some emotion that goes with this and I'm ready to bring it. This one's from Jackie Choi who says, sigh, here goes. |
| 2:04.8 | Does the United States qualify for the Olympics if all available domestic U23 players were released? |
| 2:11.7 | Are there changes that would have made an impact in retrospect? |
| 2:14.6 | I get that this would have been a hard sell to the European clubs, but how did U.S. |
| 2:18.7 | soccer not have the power to overrule Atlanta United? |
| 2:22.5 | Taylor, where do you want to take this one? |
| 2:24.6 | I want to take it in two different directions. |
| 2:26.5 | The first would be regarding maybe some of those changes, specifically Jeremy Iboebusy |
| 2:32.0 | and Eric Williamson. |
