Grant catches up with the legendary broadcaster Bob Ley (17:51), who spent 40 years at ESPN and was front and center on its World Cup coverage from 1982 to 2014. Ley tells some fun stories from covering USMNT World Cup qualifiers over the years and shares his thoughts on the most recent U.S. games, the challenge of finding soccer games on so many streaming apps today, the modern sports media landscape and much more. Before that, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down the soccer weekend, including Chelsea looking like the team to beat in England, Man United’s wild win over West Ham, a tough week for Leipzig and American coach Jesse Marsch and Atlanta United looking like the Atlanta of old.
