In The Mixer - Panel ask Kate Abdo questions
CBS Sports do a regular segment on Champions League weeks called âIn The Mixerâ, where the showâs host asks the panel a series of quick-fire questions.
But there was a surprise twist with the latest In The Mixer, as the panel turned the tables on Abdo and asked *her* a series of questions including: âWhatâs the most nervous youâve been on air?â, âMost impressive footballer youâve ever interviewed?â and, most embarrassingly of all, âWho was your first kiss?â

To the last question, Kate revealed that it was with someone behind the bins at school.
âThe bins?â Henry said. âI thought you were a bit more classy!â
Itâs well worth watching the full six-minute segment. You wonât be disappointed.

Judging by the reaction to the clip, itâs clear that many football fans would love to see Richards, Carragher, Henry and Abdo broadcasting on UK TV screens on Champions League nights.
But for the time being itâs US-based football fans who get to enjoy top-tier insight and comedy from a group of stars who work so well together.
