The dust has settled somewhat from part one of our interview with former U.S. Men's National Team
forward and current Fox Soccer analyst Eric Wynalda.
Part two includes our conversation
about working for Fox Soccer, what it's like to put on the red, white, and blue and play for your
country, owning a soccer team, and his favorite beer.
Grant Wahl is the best-selling author of "The Beckham Experiment" and the head soccer writer for
Sport Illustrated. Earlier this year he unsuccessfully ran to be nominated for the FIFA
Presidency.
In part two of our conversation with Wahl he talks about that run for FIFA's top job, Sport
Illustrated's growing soccer coverage in print and online, beer in Qatar, this summer's Gold Cup,
early impact players for Brazil 2014, and the soccer's growth in the United States.
Earlier this year Grant Wahl made waves in global soccer by declaring himself a candidate for the
FIFA presidency. Wahl was not nominated by any member nation's federation, but a light was shone
upon Sepp Blatter's unopposed run for his fourth term as the leader of the world's game. In the end
Qatar's Mohamed Bin Hammam stepped up to complete for FIFA's top job and Blatter squirms a bit more
as the world questions just how beneficial his reign has been.
