05/29/2018 Soccer Matters Hour 1

The show starts off with a recap of the UEFA Champion’s League Final. Glenn breaks down the game and comments on Mo Salah’s injury and his take on it. Glenn brings up the World Cup tournament, primarily a future World Cup and if the U.S. can win a bid to host the tournament; he explains what it would mean to the city of Houston hosting a game. Glenn plays a sound bite from former Dynamo Giles Barnes’s perspective on creative attackers being targeted during the game like Sergio Ramos’s tackle on Salah. Then, Glenn is asked by a caller to preview World Cup games he’ll announce on Fox. Glenn also weighs in on the lack of publicity CONCACAF Champions League receives in the American soccer market. In the second half, Glenn reviews the USMNT’s friendly win last night against Bolivia, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s sour postgame interview despite just winning the Champions League.
