Total Football Soccer Show #17: England vs USA, World Cup 5-a-side Teams and World Cup Nicknames

By: Daryl | December 10th, 2009

The Total Football Soccer Show is back after a two week Thanksgiving+business trip related hiatus. If you’ve listened before, you’ll know the show is hosted by an Englishman and an American (Americ-man?). So we open the show by talking about the World Cup 2010 draw and the all kinds of exciting England vs USA game that will open Group C.

After that, we each pick a 5-a-side team of World Cup-bound players. All we need to do now is persuade all ten selected players to show at our local Bryan Park soccer complex and it’s game one.

We close with a twist on the spelling bee. And by “twist” I mean “departure”. Because instead of challenging each other to spell player names, we each pick three World Cup team nicknames for the other to identify.

The show was originally broadcast on Richmond Independent Radio 97.3 but is available as a podcast by clicking below. We’re also on iTunes, so click here to subscribe.

Quick Correction: Was pointed out to me via phone call that Japan did in fact make out of their group in World Cup 2002. So when you hear me claim that they didn’t in this week’s show, just ignore me.
