Welcome, everyone

Welcome everybody to the Total Soccer Show

and our preview of Group C at the 2026 World Cup.

Group C, of course, consists of Brazil.

Morocco, Scotland and Haiti.

Let's get to it.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, Taylor Rockwell, is going to join us to talk about his beloved Morocco. Hello, Taylor.

Hello, I'm excited to be here. I've spent an enormous amount of time talking about Morocco of late between Afcon, Afcon reversals, Graham and I doing a 101 on them. I feel somewhat knowledgeable about Morocco and I look forward to

getting it all wrong. Future World Cup co-hosts, of course, Morocco. Who hasn't? Them and I,

12 other countries, is it? That's right. That's right. Polar bears, sorry, the next World Cup is

going to be hard for you. Also joining us, Graham Ruffins here. Graham, who are you talking about in this one? Don't pretend that you're not looking forward to me talking about Scotland's depth at the number nine position, Ryan. This is the preview you've been waiting for. You've been in my ear all week. Oh, I ain't in the Scotland one. I want to know more about Ross Stewart and his goal scoring. Rod Stewart? Yeah, he's in the squad. We're straight in the barrel here.

Clearly.

I mean, he does kick out the soccer balls at his concerts, right? I didn't know he got a call-up. Yeah. He's, he's, uh, we naturalized him. You know, he's born in England, says he's Scottish, as does half of our squad. Why does he claim he's a Celtic fan? He's very much a London person, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's not dig into that.

Yeah,

he has done. Let's not dig into that here. It's confusing. I'm fine to skip that. Joe Lowry's here, though, to talk about Haiti. How are you, Joe? I'm great, man. I'm excited to hear Graham try to not be optimistic about Scotland, even though we know deep down in his core, he actually does have some hope. I'm interested to see how he's going to strike that balance today. Very good. I'm looking forward to that too. If you're watching on YouTube, Graham is wearing a lovely Scotland away jersey. That is one of the better jerseys. It is nice, right? Like we've had some stinkers in the major tournaments we've qualified for. This is not one of them and you can't get anywhere in Scotland at the moment. So I'm glad that I had my pre-order in because yeah can't get anywhere so you can't sorry about that right I know you

were trying but can't just can't I was fine I've got 600 of them in the in the room next to me that's

why yeah yeah that's right I'm a Scotland shirt tout now I'm a scalper of Scotland shirts. Sorry about that. Everybody, you can't get that Scotland away jersey, but what you can get, a ticket for TSS World Cup live. It's happening June 11th in Los Angeles, California, at the El Ray Theatre. It looks like a magnificent theatre. If you want to join us there, there's some tickets left.

It's 25 bucks plus fees. Very reasonable. That's what I'd say. Great. Reasonable, right?

It is. Just over one week until we take to the stage at the El Ray Theatre. Cool venue.
