Summary

With Grant Wahl (twitter.com/GrantWahl) and Brian Straus (twitter.com/BrianStraus) back in the fold, the Planet Fútbol crew dissects the UEFA Champions League draw, and ponders whether the group stage is just a mere formality for the typical giants en route to expected deep runs. The crew also ponders if Klinsmann has any surprise call-ups in mind for the #USMNT's upcoming friendlies, and whether or not MLS Rivalry Week will live up to the hype.
