Before that, Grant breaks down the soccer news with Chris Wittyngham of the Chelsea Mike'd Up Podcast, including Liverpool's 5-3 win over Chelsea (featuring Christian Pulisic's virtuoso sub performance), Man United's 1-1 tie against West Ham, the stakes for Sunday's final day of the Premier League, Atlanta's failure in the MLS tournament and Houston making the NWSL final.
