ESPN's Sebastian Salazar; Witty on the Weekend & USMNT

Grant is finally back from Eastern Europe, which means we have a full podcast experience for listeners again. Ahead of Friday&#8217;s USMNT-Mexico World Cup qualifying showdown, Grant interviews ESPN&#8217;s Sebastian Salazar (22:15) about his thoughts on the game from both sides&#8217; perspectives, how ESPN will approach its broadcast from Cincinnati, his ESPN+ show F&#250;tbol Am&#233;ricas, his story in the business and much more. In Segment 1, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down the USMNT roster and European games, including what&#8217;s next for Manchester United after a brutal loss to Man City, West Ham&#8217;s statement-making win over Liverpool and whether new manager Xavi can get things right on the field at Barcelona. In Segment 3 (64:17), the boys discuss a wild MLS Decision Day that saw Salt Lake get into the playoffs and the LA Galaxy be eliminated in the final moments, as well as Colorado making a huge jump from third to first in the West. Then they finish with talk on the two NWSL playoff quarterfinals, won by Chicago (1-0 over Gotham) and Washington (1-0 over North Carolina).<br/><br/>Music: <br/><br/>Get full access to F&#250;tbol with Grant Wahl at <a href="https://grantwahl.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast">grantwahl.substack.com/subscribe</a>
