Summary

On today’s show, Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe answer your wonderful listener questions! From USMNT depth charts to transfer minutiae, there was plenty to get to. You can find the full list of questions that we answered down below! 1) When club options are included in transfers, can a player reject the option by refusing to agree to a new contract? 2) What is the FC Dallas academy doing differently than everyone else? 3) How did the Gold Cup shake up our USMNT depth charts? 4) Why are soccer trophies called “silverware"? Why silver instead of gold? 5) Do soccer teams ever have spotters in the stands to help give managers a better idea of what's happening on the field? 6) How can an offensive team force a defensive team to “chase shadows”? And if your team has been shadow chasing, what can they do to fix that? Sponsors! Today's show is brought to you by... American Giant! Get 15% off your new favorite tees at american-giant.com/TSS!

0:22.0	Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and an episode where unlike Harry Kane, we're going
0:26.5	to
0:51.7	the fact that each of us has a birthday once every year. I think that's important to do, right?
0:55.4	I think that is correct. Unless anyone is born on a leap year in which case I feel sad for them.
1:00.4	Ah, bless them. I know some 5 or 6 year olds out there who aren't really 5 or 6 actually
1:05.0	taken. That's another story altogether. We do celebrate each other. You'll remember how
1:09.1	Graham Rutheran, who is here today, was celebrating my team England when they made the
1:12.7	Euros finals. Is that right, Graham? Well, I did celebrate something in that final, with

1:51.2	year. I'm not really sure what I'm celebrating. Being alive for another year? I don't know.
1:55.9	Each their own. If you want to celebrate your birthday, that's fine. But I think this
2:00.5	year I'll be driving on my 30th birthday.
2:04.4	Well, that you have it, listen to Graham. Why do we do anything, Rutheran? I will say
2:11.7	the cake point is a weird one these days because we had some friends very nicely get me
2:16.9	a piece of cake and put candles in it. It was like a big enough, it wasn't a piece of cake.
