It will be impossible for me to watch anything more at this World Cup, and maybe any other, without thinking, Grant would have loved to have seen that.
Morocco. Amazing.
NEW: Morocco’s Walid Regraugi is the first African coach to lead a team to the men’s World Cup quarterfinals. It’s great to see more African coaches leading teams at today’s World Cup. Column: grantwahl.substack.com/p/wor…

Sunrise in Qatar. A very hard night for the US soccer community and the journalism world. Please keep Grant’s family in your thoughts.

I know this about Grant Wahl: He was a person of passion, conviction, integrity and courage. He was the kind of journalist and writer everyone admired. He was so kind to me when I was a nobody and we happened to share a city.
Honor him by being fearless in the pursuit of truth.

Absolutely bone chilling stuff
Soccer journalist Grant Wahl who was kicked out of a stadium in QATAR for this shirt has reportedly collapsed and passed away during the Argentina game today
His brother says on Instagram that Grant was fully healthy & believes there’s foul play – at Manhattan, NY
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Grant Wahl wrote that he had visited a hospital while in Qatar earlier in the week for upper chest pain after battling a cold for 10 days.
