Summary

Grant has a fun conversation (at 29:11) with Micah Richards, who has been doing studio work for CBS Sports during its coverage of the UEFA Champions League. Richards discusses his transition from playing to doing media work, how working for an American outlet has been different than working for British TV, his perspective on Man City winning the Premier League on the final day in 2012, his best Mario Balotelli stories and how he has taken the tiger out of Roy Keane when they work together in England. Before that, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down the news, including Bayern Munich's 3-0 win over Lyon, a preview of the Bayern-PSG Champions League final, the USMNT's draw for the World Cup qualifying tournament, the continued moves of top USWNT players from the NWSL to England and MLS moving to hosting games in home venues, some of them with fans in the stands.
