We look back on the year 2012 in all things US Men's National Team. From the highs of the Azteca, Eddie Johnson's comeback and Michael Bradley's long-range efforts, to the lows of Jamaica, Brek Shea's hair and Landon Donovan's career crisis.

This is the final show of 2012, but we'll be back with a new show the first week of 2013.

The Club World Cup final gets reviewed, Peyton explains how to get the most out of Fernando Torres, we ask if Ashley Cole is really the best left back in the world, question Michel Platini's plans for the Europa League (the plan being: exterminate) and play a seasonally themed round of the Wikipedia Game.

The Manchester Derby gets a thorough good reviewing, then we talk Leo Messi's record-setting goal haul (drawing an odd comparison with Barry Bonds) and play some Wikipedia Game with Zach Woosley from Radio Cuju.

MLS Cup gets the Game of the Week treatment, Omar Gonzalez's defensive display makes Daryl weak at the knees and we say farewell to Beckham and see you soon (hopefully) to Landon Donovan. We also ask if more American soccer fans should be watching the Mexican Primera, and close with a round of Tiki-Taka Trivia. Have a comment about the show?

David Beckham's hair or Bobby Boswell's beard? Who would win in a fight between Cosmo the extraterrestrial frog and Dynamo Diesel the fox? Would you rather hang out with The Dude or The Ryan Express? This is how we preview MLS Cup on the Total Soccer Show. Got feedback? Email contact@totalsoccershow.com Want to follow us on Twitter? We are @totalsoccershow

MLS Conference Finals reviewed: How Houston blunted DC's attack, and why that definitely was a penalty kick (sorry, Seattle fans). We also play a Thanksgiving-themed round of the Wikipedia Game. Gobble gobble. Follow us on twitter (@totalsoccershow) and email any feedback to contact@totalsoccershow.com

We review the USMNT's 2-2 draw with Russia, and all without doing one of those "in Soviet Russia, noun verbs you" jokes. OK, we do one. But that's it. And then we introduce a new segment, tentatively titled the tiki-tika trivia game. Like it? Hate it? Have a better name for it? Let us know with an email to contact@totalsoccershow.com

We're back! DC United vs Houston gets a thorough good reviewing, and USA vs Russia gets a good old-fashioned previewing.

It's Josh versus Daryl, two master debaters, fighting it out in a Presidential-style debate to decide whether MLS should stick with playoffs or have a regular season champion.

We briefly review the USA's 3-1 win over Guatemala, then focus on what we've learned about the USMNT and Klinsmann in this round of World Cup qualifyng.
