Grant interviews Jason Kreis (at 21:41), the head coach of the U.S. Under-23 men's national team, which opens the Olympics qualifying tournament against Costa Rica this Thursday at 5 pm ET on FS1 and TUDN.

Before that, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down Arsenal's memorable 2-1 win over Spurs in the North London Derby and the significance of Olympic qualifying as the U.S. men attempt to qualify for the first time since 2008.
