Amelia López of Fut Mex Nation and the Mexican Soccer Show; Chris Wittyngham on the Soccer Weekend

Grant interview Amelia López (at 29:04), a terrific Los Angeles-based writer, editor and podcaster for Fut Mex Nation and the Mexican Soccer Show. López breaks down the failures of the LA Galaxy and Chicharito Hernández, the strange-but-potentially-still-successful season for LAFC, her status comparison of the Mexican national team to the USMNT, the lowdown on the Mexican women's league, and what she thinks it will take to get more Latinas like her working in U.S. soccer media.  Before that, Grant breaks down the soccer weekend with Chris Wittyngham, including Real Madrid's 3-1 El Clásico win at Barcelona, the possibility for a wide-open Premier League with the Big 6 clubs spread out in the table, and Philadelphia's 5-0 smackdown of Toronto in their MLS clash.  Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqIhXWUw0H4 Get full access to Fútbol with Grant Wahl at grantwahl.substack.com/subscribe Learn more about your ad choices.
