With just a couple of days until Thanksgiving, Taylor, Ryan, Joe, and Snaves gathered around their respective mics to talk about soccer things that they're thankful for this year.

On a packed episode of The Total Soccer Show, Ryan is joined by Graham and Taylor to talk about allll the many things that happened this past weekend, including...

1) The NWSL Championship game: how good was Trinity Rodman, was the winning goal good or lucky or both, and praise for both teams in a hard-fought game.

2) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is out... meaning we have to talk about Manchester United again, albeit briefly.

3) Liverpool hang four on Arsenal while Klopp and Arteta did some screaming

4) Xavi is at the wheel for Barcelona's game against rivals Espanyol: what did we make of the new manager's first game?

5) MLS playoff recap, featuring thundering goals, an angry centerback, late winners, and a whole lot of fun.

6) Ryan goes to a Serie A game... and is, as expected, slightly underwhelmed.

On this show, Taylor, Ryan, and Joe answer your listener questions! You can find the full list down below:

1) Which footballer would you want to be your dad?

2) If you could place a player in their prime at a different club with a different playing style, where would you move them?

3) What if FIFA went to a 3 year cycle for the men's World Cup? 

4) How would we rank the following football leagues in terms of style, skill level, and entertainment: Scottish Premier League, English Championship, Major League Soccer, and Liga MX?

5) What was the biggest revolutionizing moment in the soccer world?

6) How does Conte's style of three at the back differ from Nuno's three at the back? If Nuno was unwilling or unable to keep his style when he moved to Spurs, what does Conte have that Nuno did not?

7) How can we celebrate Daryl on his birthday (11/29)? In addition to hugging people & using puns, what are some causes or charities that we could support in his honor?
