00:00The Eastern Conference is dominated by Miami Chiba. Do you feel like they are obligated to win at all?

00:07Do they have everything that they need to become the next dynasty at MLS?

00:13No, they don't. I mean, I don't think they're gonna become the next dynasty

00:17I think they're obligated to win something definitely

00:20I mean with the players that they have since the minute the Messi, you know, we're the the Miami Jersey

00:26That's it man they they had they supposed to win everything they haven't you know last season

00:30They want to support your shield and Atlanta kicked them out of the of the contenders for the MLS Cup

00:37They're definitely a strong team there. They are

00:39Top contenders for to win in to win in the MLS Cup and the supporters deal

00:43But you know, I mean, it's the MLS is football

00:47We just we saw it last season anything can happen and in the Easter conference

00:51There's some things that can give them some trouble for sure

00:53You know the one that most people think about as the direct competitor and the challenger to Miami

00:59It's Columbus one of the powerhouses of MLS. Do you think that they will topple Miami?

01:05Oof, that's that's hard. Okay, especially right now. So

01:11Columbus has a little bit of trouble. I think coming down the pipeline for them

01:16Kuchel laughed for L Betty's that's gonna hurt them. Obviously, that's that's not what they want to see happen

01:21So with him gone that's gonna be sort of this ever-present

01:25worry for their coach

01:27But look obligation you use the word obligation with Miami and it's exactly that there's so much pressure on them

01:34There's so much pressure on my shit

01:35I know this stars studded team to come out and that actually might be what defeats Miami

01:41It might be their own pressure. They might shoot themselves in the foot. Look. I don't want to minimize what they did last season

01:47It's not you know a small feat to win the supporters shield to come out of the season with 74

01:53What was the 73 74 points like the most of anyone ever?

01:56So look they achieve something that's either gonna really help them or that's really gonna like crack the crack them under under the pressure

02:02So we're gonna see are they gonna come out like, you know guns blazing? Are they gonna crack like Humpty Dumpty?

02:07I don't know. That's a really good question million-dollar question another team that is in the Eastern Conference and that I'm

02:13Confident that will be the spoiler for both Miami and Columbus

02:18He's Atlanta. They went ahead and did the record signing of Emmanuel latte a very very exciting

02:26Forward that I think is gonna just dominate the league in every statistic. I think he's gonna come out swinging

02:33But not only that, you know, they put together a team that is really deep that has

02:38two or three players in every position and

02:41That is stadium when it's engaged with their with their fans

02:45I think is the most difficult venue in in all of MLS

02:50just just the sheer size of the stadium makes you know, and I'm an LFC fan and the and the energy and the

02:59And and the pressure from the fans. It's felt by for the players that come to to your BMO

03:06But when you go to the Mercedes-Benz

03:0970,000 people

03:10Shouting against you. That is a pressure that is not experienced by MLS players. So my money is on Atlanta

03:19But there's other teams what other teams do you feel like really have a chance to be a surprise on this I

03:26Mean you already mentioned obviously Columbus and Miami Cincinnati is one of them

03:31But I think the real the real dark horse from from laser covers is gonna be Chicago Chicago

03:36I think for the first time in a lot of years are building a very strong team

03:42You know, they're just coming back I think I think most of the MLS teams are trying to do that

03:48But Chicago is doing pretty good

03:50They look good on the Coachella tournament and I think that they are gonna be a dark horse of the of the East

03:57For sure. I have no doubt that they're gonna probably be on the on the on the top four
