00:00Let's start it off with the MLS.

00:05I mean, absolutely.

00:06I agree with everything you were just saying.

00:07I mean, in MLS, specifically, teams that come to mind for me,

00:10first and foremost, one word, crew.

00:12Columbus, they've been on a roll, to say the least,

00:14but there's still plenty of room for surprises.

00:16We've seen a lot of late goals from them,

00:18so they're constantly keeping me on the edge of my seat.

00:20You mentioned Mexico over in La Liga.

00:23MX, Cruz Azul making a serious case for their title,

00:26but they'll have to navigate some tough fixtures ahead as well.

00:29So again, totally unpredictable league there, especially in Mexico.

00:32So we'll have to see what happens.

00:34I spoke to my producer.

00:35I did not want to mention what happened to America against Cruz Azul,

00:38but I guess we have to include on the show.

00:40It's a headline, so we'll talk about it.

00:42Just have them cover your ears.

00:43We'll talk about it in a second.

00:44But let's talk MLS first because things are getting very tight.

00:47Starting in the east, you get Columbus, who's the current MLS champion.

00:51They just won League's Cup against LAFC as well.

00:54They're on the rise.

00:55And the way you mentioned late goals, I mean, they were up 2-1.

00:58Then New York City ties it up.

01:00Then they're back with two goals during injury time.

01:03These guys are really keeping their momentum going, huh?

01:06They are, and you know why?

01:07Because they're not relying on one single player to drive them.

01:10They're young. They're hungry.

01:11They're all over the place in a good way.

01:13I know that that can have a negative connotation,

01:15but that's like the first thing that comes to mind when I'm watching them.

01:17They're absolutely amazing.

01:18So look at them.

01:19They're sitting right behind Cincinnati now.

01:20They're coming up.

01:21They got that momentum behind them.

01:22That's going to be crucial.

01:23Yeah, they're definitely dynamic.

01:25And, you know, when they lost Lucas Elarayan last year,

01:27I thought, oh, these guys might be in trouble.

01:29But the way Cucho Hernandez has been playing,

01:31bring Diego Rossi to the League.

01:33They were incorporated into Major League Soccer.

01:35Former LAFC weapon leading scorer.

01:37Another former LAFC player, Christian Ramirez.

01:40These guys are ready to go.

01:41But once again, let's talk about momentum here in the League.

01:44Yeah, let's do it.

01:45Miami.

01:46Miami is looking great, too.

01:47They're in absolutely great form.

01:49I ask myself, you know, with Luis Suarez

01:52announcing that he's going to retire from international football.

01:56Of course, that's bad news if you're Uruguayan,

01:58you're passionate about your national team.

02:00But, hey, it allows him to focus more on Miami.

02:02Yeah, I think, you know, inter-Miami,

02:04they've been doing it without Lionel Messi.

02:06Should we add that as well?

02:07Yeah.

02:08So then again, you know, props to David Beckham

02:10and the way they build the roster so far.
