00:00So, in the Club World Cup, we saw Palmeiras advance, Chelsea, PSG slaughtered Miami 4-zip,

00:10Bayern won easily, Inter Milan lost to Fluminense, and then how about Al-Hilal upsetting Man City?

00:19And then today, Real Madrid and Juventus are scoreless.

00:22So, I guess, you know, I know on Saturday, I believe, well, first Friday is Fluminense and Al-Hilal, Palmeiras and Chelsea.

00:34Saturday, a great game, PSG and Bayern.

00:37That's as good as it gets.

00:38That could be a final, if you ask me.

00:40Those two teams are so good.

00:42Yeah, it's interesting that a lot of people are using this tournament as a referendum on the MLS salary cap system.

00:50And maybe the cap could be higher.

00:52I'm not saying it couldn't.

00:53But the cap system itself, I'm a believer in that in every sport.

00:58Because, remember, a cap system doesn't say you're not paying any players.

01:01What it says is that everybody kind of has the same pot to deal with.

01:06And it's really about how smartly you spend that money.

01:10Baseball needs it.

01:11In Major League Baseball, they need it desperately.

01:13We see it in NFL, NHL.

01:15And MLS, it makes the league more interesting.

01:18And so the interesting thing is that everybody using that as a referendum on MLS,

01:24what about Manchester City getting their tail kicked by Saudi Arabia, Al-Hilal?

01:30I mean, does that mean the Premier League needs to reconsider what they're doing?

01:34No.

01:34It just was a game that happened and they weren't good enough that night.

01:38Look, there's nobody and no way that Miami is going to be as good as the best team in the world.

01:46Paris Saint-Germain is the best team in the world.

01:49The only team that even had a year close to them this year was Liverpool.

01:54And for whatever reason, the silly math that led to this, they didn't even get in this tournament.
