00:00What were your highlights? What happened? You were right. Mexico got the three points

00:05versus Uruguay. Let's start there. How did Mexico play? I mean, yeah, they played really well. I

00:10mean, we have to remember that they did have a previous game against Uruguay. It was a 2-2 tie.

00:15I think both teams really wanted it. They were both playing aggressively. But, you know, in that

00:20second game of the weekend, Mexico was able to win 1-0 with a goal in the 60th minute. I think

00:26the offense was looking extremely strong. I think they were just that much better. I can't say that

00:32there was a noticeable difference between the two teams, but Mexico was possessing the ball a lot

00:37more and just a lot better movement overall throughout the game is what I noticed. This is a

00:41very interesting format of friendlies, Camila. The fact that they are playing two times in a row

00:46allows teams to make adjustments. What other national teams have this experience? I mean,

00:51you know, you saw teams like the U.S. Women's National Team. They played China first game in a

00:563-0 win, but then their second game was canceled. But I want to go into that first game because it

01:01was a very strong performance from the U.S. Women's National Team. You know, I noticed China trying to

01:06play a high defensive line, trying to catch the U.S. team on the offside trap. But I really liked

01:13the response I saw in the U.S. Women's National Team's forwards in midfield. I saw a lot more movement

01:19up top from players like Johannes, from players like Alyssa Thompson. And instead of being trapped in

01:25that offside, they were slipping balls through the back and were able to break down China's defense.

01:30Now, and the U.S. also had another adversary this weekend. It was Jamaica. How did that game went

01:36down? Yeah, so we saw the U.S. Women's National Team was able to get the 4-0 win over Jamaica. But I

01:43actually think that in the first half, Jamaica was playing pretty strong defensively. They were really

01:47pushing out the offense out wide. But overall, the U.S. Women's National Team just dominated Jamaica.

01:54But I think it's also important to note the progress that this U.S. team has done. Because

01:58this time last year, I think this team wouldn't have been able to defeat Jamaica as easily. So I

02:05think we've seen massive improvement within the last year.
