Seventeen straight days of games and my body, I think, told me, even when the US went out, &#8216;Dude, you are not sleeping enough,&#8217; and it rebelled on me. So I &#8216;ve had a case of bronchitis this week. I&#8217;ve been to the medical center at the clinic twice now, including today. I am feeling better today. I basically canceled everything on this Thursday that I had, and I napped, and I am doing slightly better. You can probably tell by my voice that I am not doing 100% here.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Scanlan told CBS News that Wahl had an &#8220;aggressive schedule&#8221; while in Qatar. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I asked, &#8216;Was it too much?&#8217;  and he said no, this is what he lived for, and he loved the World Cup,&#8221; Scanlan said, referencing a conversation on Dec.  3, about a week before Wahl&#8217;s death.  &#8220;He had just been recognized for his eighth World Cup. He had turned 48 yesterday. He was a noted chef and loved to entertain. Twenty good friends that came to his apartment last night to celebrate.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>A prolific journalist, Wahl wrote for multiple outlets and was a CBS Sports contributor.  He was an analyst on CBS Sports HQ throughout the Qatar World Cup, and wrote guest columns focused on the US men&#8217;s national team for CBS Sports.
