Pablo Maurer of The Athletic; Chris Wittyngham on Soccer News

Grant is joined by The Athletic's Pablo Maurer (at 42:17) to talk about his phenomenal new story on George Best's time in the United States during the old NASL days. Maurer, who has also written about Johan Cruyff's U.S. experience and the infamous USMNT New York Times photo shoot before World Cup 2002, explains why he's fascinated by the history of American soccer and spends so much time pursuing these stories. Before that, Grant breaks down the soccer news with Chris Wittyngham. They preview each of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 return legs and the second MLS semifinal. Then they discuss Grant's interview with the execs behind CBS Sports's UEFA Champions League coverage.  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.
