00:00LAFC is back baby 4-0 returning the favor back to Seattle after the trashing that they gave us
00:08up north Chiba the black and gold is back on its winning games three wins in a row
00:14multiple shutouts and the team seems to be finding out their way right at the right time Chiba
00:21what are your impressions team is looking really good and what I love about the team is that for
00:26example uh this game versus Seattle they rotate the players we saw a different lineup not not all
00:32the starters were playing and they play really good uh the the way they're attacking is not just
00:38Buanga at least for this past game but they're really really good yesterday they show that they
00:43can beat anyone but then also they're so inconsistent that I'm not right there 100% is good three wins in
00:50a row what's coming up is going to be the biggest challenge to see if they're on the right path
00:54the most important league game of the season is coming up this Sunday LAFC goes down to Carson
01:00California to play against Galaxy Galaxy is not in a good moment uh Chiba they had it in their bag
01:08they were 2-0 visiting Philadelphia making a statement that the champion was back and the dream
01:15quickly vanished it only took two minutes for Philadelphia to equalize Baribo the man of the
01:21match day he got the team back into the game probably on his own Chiba what is happening
01:28with Galaxy they had it it seemed to be a string in a good performance and then very quickly they
01:33forgot how to play they haven't won a single game of the entire season they started doing really good
01:38winning 2-0 just like you said uh and then last minute last minute they score a game against them but
01:43if there's one thing the guys has is they know how to play against LAFC especially in Carson it's it seems like
01:51they they you know when they when they see the jersey of LAFC they forget how bad they're playing and they
01:57play like their best game of the season I hope that's not that's not gonna happen on Sunday but the reality of it is
02:03that it could happen because you know they got nothing to lose I mean Chiba we gotta acknowledge this the numbers and the odds are on
02:11are on LAFC favor but if you are a clever betting man you will be putting some money on Galaxy because the upside is
02:19incredible we remember games like the Zlatan debut where LAFC started banging with goals from Carlos Bela in the
02:29first half only to everything vanished very quickly when the Swedish giant came and schooled us very quickly
02:35now let's talk about another falling giant in the league Miami uh tying on a 3-3 very exciting match with San Jose
02:43at San Jose and we see again the frustration bubbling the temperature rising and the pressure getting to
02:53Lionel Messi's head Chiba we saw again deplorable images of this legend the example of the kids being
03:00completely disrespectful confrontational and challenging against the referee that did a very
03:06fair job in my opinion nothing to reprimand on that end Chiba what is happening with Messi is he taking
03:12the MLS as his personal playground it looks like it looks like that's that's that's what it is you know
03:17this is not the first time he does something like that he's been like that and and different occasions
03:22and you know what unfortunately for for for the for for the football of the MLS it that it doesn't have
03:28any consequences why because it's Lionel Messi you know at the end of the day he can do whatever he
03:32wants he never gets a red card he there's no repercussion for the thing that he has done
03:36because this is the first time like I said now this is the first time I've seen Messi so frustrated you
03:40know I guess he's not used to losing and that's understandable he's an amazing player that comes
03:45from amazing clubs and and you can see the frustration at his face whenever he can win you know you see this
03:51type of uh scenes you know with where he doesn't think about the kids watching him being a figure of
03:58them and etc etc and let's just hope you know for the MLS to do something about it because otherwise
04:03everybody's gonna keep taking it like a joke it is right Chiba uh we saw the images Bruce Arena
04:09trying to calm down uh Lionel Messi on their way to back to the dressing rooms the reality is that
04:15San Jose played an excellent game Miami fought and didn't have the weapons uh the impetu of you know
04:22the younger players Messi wasn't really a difference maker other than the assists that he provided
04:27and today just today it was announced that Jordi Alba got an extension till 2027 so it seemed like
04:34Miami is setting the course again with these legends uh trying to revive the old Barcelona but
04:40the youthfulness the speed and and the physicality of the league I don't think it's gonna allow them
04:45to shine that easily Chiba tell me what do you think about San Diego that continues to rack up wins
04:52adding points and now suddenly second place in the Western Conference for the newest California team
04:59that you know it's it's it's one of the teams that Galaxy is going to be facing we were talking about
05:04Galaxy Galaxy plays LAFC plays San Diego and then San Jose so San Diego looking really really good talk to me
05:12about that game I mean San Diego it's been a surprise to everybody being the new team in the MLS
05:18Chucky Chucky Lozano after you know that slow start with the injury etc etc right now man they're looking
05:25so good that the the you know the the fans are bragging too much and you cannot blame them they're
05:30second place but take it easy you know the beginning of the season uh we still got a lot of games to go
05:36but at the end of the day they're doing really good and and they are up there second place
05:41something that we kind of I remember Nick was the one saying you know I think I see him up there and
05:46one of us was saying like I don't think so because it's the first season but at the end of the day
05:50they're doing really good they gotta be consistent they gotta keep it up there's
05:53there's gonna be more players coming into all the teams during the summer so let's see what comes
05:58after that let's see if San Diego can continue the fairy tale and another game that I want to touch
06:03upon right before we leave on this segment Chiba is the first one in this rivalry week in MLS
06:10uh St. Louis football club Kansas City uh what a game Jobelik the former Galaxy player
06:17is scoring for the third time in two games against the fierce rival for Kansas City what a game
06:23exciting moments Chiba what was your highlight I mean Jobelik is a great is a proven player
06:29that unfortunately didn't have enough chances with Galaxy as a starter he will always come in
06:34and and you know finish in the second half and and deliver for them and he went to a team that
06:39believe in him that that make him a star that's why he's getting paid we just heard from Wilkins
06:43not too long ago that he they quadrupled his salary to take him to Kansas City and he's good it's good
06:50for a team like Kansas that last last not too long ago beat Galaxy without doing a single shot and goal
06:57goal and you know winning a classical is is is the best thing that can happen to you
07:01goal
07:05Ooh
