00:00
Let's start it off with the MLS.
00:05
I mean, absolutely.
00:06
I agree with everything you were just saying.
00:07
I mean, in MLS, specifically, teams that come to mind for me,
00:10
first and foremost, one word, crew.
00:12
Columbus, they've been on a roll, to say the least,
00:14
but there's still plenty of room for surprises.
00:16
We've seen a lot of late goals from them,
00:18
so they're constantly keeping me on the edge of my seat.
00:20
You mentioned Mexico over in La Liga.
00:23
MX, Cruz Azul making a serious case for their title,
00:26
but they'll have to navigate some tough fixtures ahead as well.
00:29
So again, totally unpredictable league there, especially in Mexico.
00:32
So we'll have to see what happens.
00:34
I spoke to my producer.
00:35
I did not want to mention what happened to America against Cruz Azul,
00:38
but I guess we have to include on the show.
00:40
It's a headline, so we'll talk about it.
00:42
Just have them cover your ears.
00:43
We'll talk about it in a second.
00:44
But let's talk MLS first because things are getting very tight.
00:47
Starting in the east, you get Columbus, who's the current MLS champion.
00:51
They just won League's Cup against LAFC as well.
00:54
They're on the rise.
00:55
And the way you mentioned late goals, I mean, they were up 2-1.
00:58
Then New York City ties it up.
01:00
Then they're back with two goals during injury time.
01:03
These guys are really keeping their momentum going, huh?
01:06
They are, and you know why?
01:07
Because they're not relying on one single player to drive them.
01:10
They're young. They're hungry.
01:11
They're all over the place in a good way.
01:13
I know that that can have a negative connotation,
01:15
but that's like the first thing that comes to mind when I'm watching them.
01:17
They're absolutely amazing.
01:18
So look at them.
01:19
They're sitting right behind Cincinnati now.
01:20
They're coming up.
01:21
They got that momentum behind them.
01:22
That's going to be crucial.
01:23
Yeah, they're definitely dynamic.
01:25
And, you know, when they lost Lucas Elarayan last year,
01:27
I thought, oh, these guys might be in trouble.
01:29
But the way Cucho Hernandez has been playing,
01:31
bring Diego Rossi to the League.
01:33
They were incorporated into Major League Soccer.
01:35
Former LAFC weapon leading scorer.
01:37
Another former LAFC player, Christian Ramirez.
01:40
These guys are ready to go.
01:41
But once again, let's talk about momentum here in the League.
01:44
Yeah, let's do it.
01:45
Miami.
01:46
Miami is looking great, too.
01:47
They're in absolutely great form.
01:49
I ask myself, you know, with Luis Suarez
01:52
announcing that he's going to retire from international football.
01:56
Of course, that's bad news if you're Uruguayan,
01:58
you're passionate about your national team.
02:00
But, hey, it allows him to focus more on Miami.
02:02
Yeah, I think, you know, inter-Miami,
02:04
they've been doing it without Lionel Messi.
02:06
Should we add that as well?
02:07
Yeah.
02:08
So then again, you know, props to David Beckham
02:10
and the way they build the roster so far.
