Summary

Grant has a candid interview with Columbus Crew head coach Caleb Porter (at 37:57) coming off Porter's second MLS Cup-winning title campaign. Porter reveals that he cried upon learning that Darlington Nagbe and Pedro Santos wouldn't be available for the final, and he explains in detail how he has changed as a coach and a person in the years since he started in MLS. Porter never disappoints in these interviews, and that's no different here! Before that, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down the soccer weekend, including LAFC's wild 3-1 victory over Club América in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals; what it would mean for an MLS to win the CONCACAF title for the first time in the Champions League era; whether Liverpool is set to pull away from the pack in the Premier League; how to diagnose the issues with Arsenal, Dortmund and Barcelona; and Sam Mewis and Weston McKennie winning the US Soccer player of the year awards.
