Real Salt Lake's Pablo Mastroeni; Witty on MLS Playoffs, Ballon d'Or

Grant has a rollicking interview with Pablo Mastroeni, the interim head coach who has taken Real Salt Lake on an incredible journey to the MLS playoffs final four. Mastroeni is remarkably honest about not being ready at first to be a head coach again and telling the story about how he was digging ditches for $18 an hour after coaching the Colorado Rapids until he decided he wanted to be a coach again. Plus Grant and Witty break down the MLS playoffs, New York City’s upset of the New England Revolution, how the playoffs could be restructured, the uproar over the Ballon d’Or and much more.
