Grant has a fun talk (at 39:30) with his old friend University of Michigan professor Andy Markovits, the author many books including Offside: Soccer and American Exceptionalism. Markovits brings his unique perspective to the Super League failure, the angst around his beloved Manchester United and his upcoming memoir.
Before that, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down the Man United protests, big weeks for Americans Christian Pulisic and Jesse Marsch, the men's and women's Champions League semifinals, Cade Cowell, Caden Clark and MLS teams' situations in the CONCACAF Champions League.
