00:00There have been big elimination.

00:01Let's start there.

00:03Fracaso total de la Liga MX.

00:05Los Cuatro Grandes, Pumas, Cruz Azul,

00:08América y Chivas, all eliminated from the competition, Chivas.

00:12Which, by the way, I'm sad to say this, and look at my face.

00:15Chivas has never won a League Cup ever since the tournament started.

00:21They have an opportunity against Cincinnati, which, by the way,

00:23have beat Chivas twice, 3-1 already.

00:26So, you know, I mean, but I don't think there's a bigger disappointment

00:28than losing 7-0.

00:307-0 versus Seattle.

00:32Cruz Azul, Cruz Azul, and put the Mexican Liga

00:35aqui, en el suelo.

00:37And that's how it began, right?

00:39Like with Cruz Azul putting a very bad example.

00:42And then after that, we saw that the MLS teams,

00:44not even the biggest one, the middle of the table

00:47and the lower of the table teams really put the Mexican teams

00:50against the ropes.

00:52Now, let's move on to the results.

00:54I want to talk a little bit about the Pumas versus Miami game.

00:57Pumas, unfortunately, was treated to some trickery from the desk

01:04because Miami was able to appeal a red card,

01:08allowing their center back to come back.

01:10That was not the case with Pumas that couldn't have Keylor Nava.

01:14Maybe it wouldn't have made such a difference

01:16because Miami was a clear winner on the match,

01:19but do we still see a little bit of, like, you know,

01:22help there for Miami?

01:24You will always see that.

01:25With Messi being in the MLS, and even though he wasn't playing,

01:29let's say that, I mean, Miami is going to get the help.

01:32They want Miami to win it.

01:33They want Messi to have another trophy.

01:35Yes, Alex, they do.

01:36So, yeah, we're going to see it.

01:37De Paul had a particularly good performance in this game.

01:40He really feeling for, you know, the lack of Messi in the pitch.

01:45What are your impressions, and do you feel that now that De Paul is there,

01:50Miami now is unstoppable?

01:51I mean, I think this is a very key part to their midfield.

01:55I think that with Busquets just there,

01:57I think this is going to complete that midfield dominance for them.

02:02They are on a good run right now.

02:04I think De Paul is adjusting to this league immediately, perfectly.

02:08I mean, he was able to step into that plate for Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba,

02:13who were not there, but him and Luis Suarez.

02:17I mean, they both had an outstanding performance.

02:20Luis Suarez celebrating with the little hat and everything,

02:22which was awesome to see.

02:23But, I mean, I think that this is just a preview

02:26to what we're going to see in the league later on this season.

02:29And it's very important to have a healthy and effective Luis Suarez,

02:34especially when Messi is sitting out.

02:36We will see more of this game management for Messi as we progress on the league.

02:40Now, let's talk about the teams that are out from MLS.

02:44LAFC, unfortunately, is out.

02:46Cincinnati, another team that I was expecting to be right on top.

02:50Is this a failure for these big teams from MLS, Chiba?

02:53Of course.

02:54You know, you've got teams like Columbus, LAFC, Cincinnati, top teams of the MLS,

02:59out of a tournament where only four from each league can qualify.

03:03And it's sad to see them out, but at the end of the day, you know,

03:07this is a tournament that is growing.

03:09I think it's a tournament that has a lot of potential.

03:12But, unfortunately, for the leagues, the tennis hasn't been the best.

03:17But, look, when people get excited about Mexico versus USA,

03:20and I think that little by little is only going to get better.
