0:00.0	Hey there! Welcome to Food Ball with Grant Wall. Thanks so much for joining me. Before we get going,
0:12.4	you can sign up for a free or paid subscription to my writing site at Grantwall.com. We're just
0:18.0	starting year two and I've got big plans to cover the men's and women's world cups in the next 12
0:23.5	months. So sign up for an annual subscription. It's very cheap per month. If you do it that way,
0:29.3	that's Grantwall.com. Lots to talk about this weekend, though none of it happening in
0:36.2	England. Actually, a little bit that happened earlier in the weeks, but let's bring in Chris

1:47.6	won the World Club Championship last season. But it not gotten off to a good start with
1:52.4	three losses already this season for Chelsea. The thing that surprises me, though, is that it
1:57.2	seems as though Chelsea right now is not being terribly strategic. And that's the thing that
2:02.0	I don't really understand is if you're Todd Bowley coming into a new sport,
2:07.1	why wouldn't you surround yourself with people that are going to set the philosophy? It seems
