The accomplished writer (who was later fired by Sports Illustrated) as well as former contributor to FOX Sports and UniMas was on the show to discuss several topics including a recap of a Bayern Munich against FC Barcelona game in the UEFA Champions League, the transparency or lack thereof in Major League Soccer, and how Grant Wahl grew from an intern at a local paper to a soccer writer and author in the United States.

Grant Wahl’s book was released on July 14, 2009 in accordance with David Beckham’s return to LA Galaxy from his first loan spell at A.C. Milan. The book debuted at number nine on the New York Times Best Sellers List. Landon Donovan was interviewed in the book and was very critical of David Beckham stating he was a bad teammate who took over the team, but did not care about American soccer, MLS, or his teammates.
