Welcome to the Total Soccer show and our latest edition of USMNT Weekly.

Yes, we're in an international break.

And Marizzo Pochitino's side have two tune-ups on the books over the next week.

Today, we're going to check in with the roster.

We're going to spotlight the players.

We're excited to see the most.

And we're going to take a little look at the opponents, which are also my favorite sandwich-filling, Turkey and Swiss. My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today, your regular USMNT weekly crew, starting with Mr. Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, shall I keep it going? If you eat that sandwich, you avoid any grease. Oh, nice. And then he won't be hungry, right? That's the other one. Graham, your turn. I've got nothing. Uh, I like cheese and ham too. But not together. In a baby bell form. We've learned this. We have, yeah. Ham and cheese in toasted form, Graham, or untosted?

As in a pinini. It's like British law. From the early 2000s, everyone was pinnini daft. So, yeah, you don't have a choice in this country, unfortunately. That might be a land speed record for going off the rails on this show. But I'm proud of us for doing it. I'm proud of us. You'd never tell that we're at the start of an international break that's starting with two friendlies and a tournament that we're not sure if we care that much about yeah you'd never tell stick with us for the next 45 or so Joe Lowry how are you hey Ryan I'm great I was doing better before I'm hoping this was a joke let me just put it this way I'm hoping that hoping that your turkey and Swiss as the best sandwich combo is a joke. Surely, you don't mean that, do you? Well, Turkey, how about a Turkey and Swiss melt? Is that not good? I mean, I'm not saying it's bad, but you said it's your favorite sandwich combo. And you didn't say salami and also Swiss. Swiss is an extremely overrated cheese. So I was just trying to figure out where exactly you landed on all this. Ham Trump's turkey, sorry, salami Trumps them both, but has an accent meat, first of all. And Swiss is like a subtle cheese that, frankly, I'm not getting a lot from. I'm on board with the meat rankings, to be fair. The Swiss ones maybe a little bit bold. I do like a bit of Swiss, but the meat, I'm right there with you, Joe. Joe, the US aren't playing ham and cheddar this way. I had to make sure it was for the bit. That's all. Ryan, I'm worried for you culinary. I just want to put it that way. I appreciate your culinary concerns, Joe, but I put turkey above ham. It's leaner.. That's fine. Go for it. More ham for Graham and I. Fine. Rum ham. Rum ham. Rum ham. Rumham. Rumham all the way.

What's going on is coming up with the players I'm most excited for and kind of scrolling from bottom to top of that list and then starting over and starting

over because there's a lot of names missing, Ryan, a lot due to injury, a few due to accumulation
