00:00but a team that was surprisingly strong this week was Miami guys. I know that we are setting

00:06the bar really high for this team they are obligated in our eyes to win it all because

00:12they are so stacked and they are playing to that beat because what we saw this weekend

00:18the way of winning without Messi with an almost 40 year old Suarez playing a magnificent game

00:26with a world-class assist with a world-class juke and then a goal yeah no doubt they are the team

00:33to beat so you got Suarez okay so let's count my Messi off for just a moment here even without him

00:39as you said they're looking so strong well balanced well-oiled machine man look they're

00:46up there right like they're up there teams to watch teams to watch you said it they're stacked

00:50man I mean Segovia second place with three goals already uh you know as a top scorer

00:56no Messi 10 players something that worries me about Miami a little bit is the fact that

01:02on almost every game they get a red card they got to work on that they got to work

01:05because you know they're only going to make it harder than now but definitely really strong team

01:10one of the highlights that I could rescue from Houston is the minutes that Nicolo Dato played

01:17clearly showing that once Nico is taking control of that team they might not be such an easy target

01:24now let's move to the to another game Nick I know that you might not be ready to talk about it but

01:30we gotta talk about it Galaxy is not looking good lost in the domestic league one two one to Vancouver

01:37now let's say Vancouver come out swinging it's a team that has been playing at a high level for a

01:41long time Nick what needs to change in Galaxy to start making you know getting some points in the

01:47board yeah we need to find some magic injury healing potion I think that's step one then

01:52we need to find a time machine I think we can manage both um Ricky Puig out through the summer

01:59torn ACL it's going to be an uncertain shaky start to the season without Ricky and it and

02:04it's proving to be that so far I mean we're realizing how crucial Ricky Puig really is

02:10without you know key players from last year and we have to figure out how to move forward

02:15is it is it too early to can we like return San Diego is there like a 30-day like return

02:22policy like we got enough teams in Southern California that are so much better than the

02:27Galaxy now oh my god yes the Galaxy let's talk about San Diego really quickly I'm gonna glaze

02:34over the 1-0 win of the black and gold because it wasn't very exciting there's not much to talk

02:38about that they got the three points as a big team and they moved on uh San Diego I want to

02:45take a moment because Chiba you and I shared this same experience almost eight years ago what used

02:50to be called the Bank of California where this chant that appeared at the San Diego stadium also

02:56appeared in the early games of LAFC you were one of the leaders that immediately came forward

03:02quickly Chiba what does San Diego needs to do to eradicate this from their stadium they gotta jump

03:08on it fast zero tolerance whoever they see doing that even if it's one or a hundred people they

03:13gotta kick him out that's number one number two people have to understand just like what we said

03:18how we said it eight years ago it doesn't matter what it means to you man it's hurtful and I'm

03:22pretty sure something's gonna find the right thing to say and the right thing to do to make it happen

03:27and to make it stop which is the most important thing also on the field unfortunately San Diego

03:31couldn't find the formula for success it's not looking good Chucky Lozano out with an injury

03:37their DP and most incisive player might be out for the foreseeable future in my eyes an early

03:45favorite as the most powerful team in MLS ladies and gentlemen is Minnesota Minnesota is playing a

03:54very high level scoring in bunches Nick do you think they can sustain this for this long 30 plus

04:02game season we're gonna have to see if this is sort of an out of the gate magic that they're

04:06feeling right now but hey as long as Kelvin and Yeboah keeps smashing goals into the net like that

04:11when they really need it and showing up and other players as well I don't see why not I mean they've

04:16been a dark horse throughout this in the last few years they've been showing out they've been doing

04:19great they haven't had the results maybe the end of the season that we want to see but they're

04:23getting there they're building and that's only going to grow as they kind of make their mark

04:28and make themselves a household name in terms of the MLS
