Ryan is joined by Joe and Taylor to answer some particularly excellent Listener Questions, including...\n1) Is Ryan Bailey real? (Yes, that's a real question that we answered)\n2) Which of Pep Guardiola's midfield trios is/was his best midfield trio?\n3) Is Wayne Rooney a good head coach/manager?\n4) Who are some up and coming managers that a club in the Big 5/6 leagues may try to hire this summer?\n5) Does Erling Haaland have any shot at the Ballon d'Or, or does it already have Messi's name on it?\n6) Why does the \u201cgal\xe1cticos\u201d approach work for Real Madrid and not for PSG?\n7) Who are the football equivalents of Hard Rock Caf\xe9, Applebees and Chili's?\t(Once again, yes, that's a real question that Ryan forced us to answer).\n----\nJOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!\nCheck out our brand-new Patreon, which houses bonus podcasts, access to our exclusive Discord, blog posts, videos, and much more.\nBecome a member today at patreon.com/totalsoccershow!\n----\nSponsors!
