Thank you. Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our review of the 2023 Women's World Cup final.

Over 64 games, we've watched the field get thinner, and now it's official.

We have a winner.

In Sydney, the only ones cracking the champagne will also be singing, Viva Espania.

The lioness is roared and tried to find some fragility, but in the end were undone by superior Spanish ability.

La Rocca pressed high and held the keys to unlock, and England's side, who just couldn't get through their block.

England hailed Mary Burpsps couldn't alone get it done

and at the end of the day, the best team won.

So, congrats to Spain who looked composed and slick,

even if their coach is a bit of a questionable character.

My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me today, your friend of mine.

Hello, Taylor Rockwell.

Hello, my friend. Did England roar? I must have missed that. It sounded more like a baby lion trying to find its roar. That felt more appropriate for the day. Here's my impression of the roar. There you go. That's it. That's well done. And for listeners who weren't able to see, which is all of them, Ryan did add the hand gesture as well. So we did get the lion's paw in there too. Thank you, Ryan. Indeed. Confirming the gesture with us today, Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. I'm going to be honest, Ryan, you really had me until the little roar you did just there. I'm not sure really how I felt about that. Very curious about how the listeners felt about it, but I've decided that I would like that to not happen in the first two minutes of a show ever ever ever I think ever again me now how about that gel well your appreciate your feedback is appreciated as always I'll note that down

don't do meek lion's roars ever again. Start off podcast. Good, cool.

Graeme, Rutherland, how are you today, sir? Hello, Ryan, Billy. I enjoyed the roar, and I also enjoyed watching this final, this match. Yeah. Nobody likes a gloat. Scotland weren't involved in the match. There's only so far I can push this. But yes, how are you, Ryan? Are you holding up okay? I'm holding up okay, Graham, because I think, as I sort of mentioned before we started recording, this was a fair and square defeat of the English here. Not like that Euro 2020 final where there were shenanigans. This one I have no complaints about us. I've had a little, a few minutes to sort of mull it over, Graham. But out there in the streets of Scotland's second city, are they dancing in the streets at the moment? Is there some kind of parade happening? No doubt. I think the festival is happening in Edinburgh at the moment. I'm not sure what's going on in Glasgow. I don't leave my house, thanks to the non-stop football. There's Premier League football happening right now that I'll have to catch up on, but at least we will have, or at least England will have Mary Arps telling everyone to F off after saving a penalty. I did enjoy that moment. Quality Sunday morning broadcasting there, Graham. That's what I think you'll find that is a very very stressful way to start your Sunday by

the way having your team in a World Cup final don't recommend it especially when they get beaten

I will say uh but oh indeed we will be talking about those Premier League games and much more of course
