00:00It seems like Miami will get that second-in-a-row supporter shield.

00:05They are one game clear in the standings in third place.

00:09If they win that game that they have in hand,

00:11they will be two points clear from everybody else.

00:15And we are very early in the season still.

00:17Nick, what are the games?

00:20Tell me, what are the games that you're going to be looking forward to this week?

00:23And there's big and important games.

00:25What are we tuning into this week?

00:29Yeah, I mean, Cincinnati, as you mentioned, an amazing squad

00:32that everyone should be keeping their eye on.

00:34They're going head-to-head with Sporting KC.

00:37That's going to be a good one to watch.

00:39Of course, another team that's been amazing so far this season,

00:42Philly going head-to-head against DC United.

00:46Charlotte as well on the weekend against New England.

00:49Charlotte actually picked up some players here in the transfer window,

00:52so that's going to be interesting to see as well.

00:54But yeah, I mean, locally too, San Diego FC going against Rail Salt Lake

00:58over the weekend as well.

00:59So many games, so many games.

01:01Don't know where to start.

01:02But that's kind of what I've been keeping my eye on.

01:04What about you?

01:04I am, you know, watching the Sunday primetime game,

01:084 p.m. Pacific, LAFC versus St. Louis.

01:12St. Louis is not doing that well,

01:15but it's a dangerous team that can get the result.

01:17And LAFC needs to get some momentum.

01:19They need to string some wins because they have nothing else to fight

01:24unless, Nick, unless they do play that famous playoff against America

01:29to see if they qualify for the Club World Cup.

01:33That will be coming pretty soon, Nick,

01:34and we'll be having a tight coverage of that tournament.

01:37So, Nick, before we leave,

01:39let's talk about this transfer window that just closed this week.

01:42One of my favorite ones, I think it has a lot of potential,

01:45is the exit from Julian Gressel from Miami.

01:49I think that this is a very promising transfer for the player.

01:54What do you think?

01:55Oh, well, hey, well, they're picking up Maximilio Falcón,

01:57the Uruguayan defender's acquisition.

02:00I think for the team,

02:00he's going to strengthen their interior in the back, obviously.

02:02Their back line could use some strengthening

02:04and think that's going to be really great for him.

02:07Another squad that I mentioned, like 18 times already so far,

02:10is Charlotte FC.

02:12They got the Ivorian winger, Wilfred Zaha.

02:14I think that's going to be exciting as well.

02:16He is actually on loan, though,

02:18coming all the way from Turkey, from Galatasaray.

02:21So that's going to be fun.

02:22I'm always excited when we're getting international players

02:24from big teams abroad, and those are two good examples.

02:27Like I mentioned earlier, Frankie Amaya, for me,

02:30is the most exciting addition to the LAFC squad.

02:33He comes from Toluca,

02:35having a lot of success with New York Bulls,

02:37someone that knows the tournament, knows the league.

02:42Also, Ryan Raposo, it's a great player.

02:45It's a winger and an attacking-minded player

02:47that can finally feed some balls to Olivier Giroud.

02:51Dad can now say that he's a scorer for the LAFC.

02:54He's tied with Fito Celaya with one goal for the black and gold.

02:58Nick, that's enough of my jokes.

03:01We have to go on a break.

03:03Thank you for your insight.

03:04What is your main game this weekend?

03:07Oof, I got to see what's going to happen

03:08with my Galaxy against Timbers.

03:10That's not going to be an easy game,

03:12but that's going to be going down on Sunday.

03:14I'm going to be getting my rosary beads

03:16and wearing my gray T-shirt.

03:17That's what I'll be doing.
