World Cup reporter Grant Wahl's fatal collapse during a match Friday is a tragic end to a long, arduous week of illness -- something he openly discussed the day before his death.
Grant recorded and posted his "Futbol with Grant Wahl" podcast on Thursday, and said he'd come down with a case of bronchitis so bad ... he'd "been to the medical clinic at the media center twice now, including today."
Grant added he was feeling better, but was far from 100% ... which he said listeners could probably hear in his voice.
