Just awful news from the World Cup.

AL RAYYAN, QATAR - NOVEMBER 21: Journalist Grant Wahl (right) works in the FIFA Media Center before a FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group B match between Wales and USMNT at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium on November 21, 2022 in Al Rayyan, Qatar.

We never met Grant Wahl, but he was hard to ignore. His soccer columns on ESPN were brilliant and alway well written. He was the kind of guy you would read even if he wrote a cookbook or a lawnmower repair manual.
