Summary

Grant interviews Angus McNab (at 48:13), managing consultant of York9 FC of the Canadian Premier League, which begins its Island Games bubble tournament this Thursday. McNab, who used to be at Opta, provides the lowdown on why the CPL is a growing league, how his team engineered the transfer of Emilio Estévez to ADO Den Haag, and how the Island Games came together. Before that, Grant breaks down the soccer news with Taylor Rockwell of our partner the Total Soccer Show. They get into detail on all the news in the UEFA Champions League (from Juventus turmoil to whether Barça might get blown out by Bayern Munich), how CBS is covering the UEFA events, a preview of the Orlando-Portland MLS final and how they feel about MLS's plan to stage games in home venues, even with fans in some locations.
