00:00All righty, so from MLS to Liga MX, the playoff race is very intense.
00:08What about Cruz Azul?
00:09And when we talk about MLS, Georges Yakoumakis killing it for Atlanta that last year.
00:14I mean, he was a huge, huge ad for Cruz Azul.
00:17They continue to dominate.
00:18They do it against Pachuca, 4-2.
00:21They're at the top.
00:22Are they the team to beat in Liga MX?
00:24Without a doubt.
00:25Cruz Azul is the most consistent.
00:26I know, I don't want to make the same joke two weeks in a row, but it's always a risk
00:31with Cruz Azul.
00:32They have great regular seasons.
00:34Playoffs come not so much, but Toluca and Tigres are still within striking distance
00:39from Cruz Azul.
00:40They both drew their matches this week, which is an ideal, but they are hanging in there,
00:44you know, making that standing table really tight.
00:48And I know that you don't want to, but we have to talk about the game of the week.
00:53Pumas-America.
00:54I wanted to talk to Toluca.
00:56Can we just talk to Toluca?
00:57You want to?
00:58Perfect.
00:59Cruz is the director.
01:00Can we just talk about Toluca?
01:01No, I'm just kidding.
01:02I can't avoid talking about Pumas.
01:03I'm sorry.
01:04I'm suffering.
01:05You're suffering.
01:06My club-America.
01:07I know, I know.
01:08I feel for you.
01:09Pumas came out really strong, motivated as they come out in these games.
01:12Great victory.
01:13The problem is that America is running out of time.
01:18Right now, they're surprisingly outside of the spots for a playoff spot.
01:22Not even the wildcard.
01:23Not even the wildcard.
01:24It's crazy.
01:26Let's talk about, when you look at the percentages, they are the top team.
01:28They have been the top team for a while.
01:31They're the most consistent team.
01:32You're talking about spending money as well.
01:34But it just seems that, you know, it's rough, man.
01:37Actually, the last team that won the three-peat in Mexico, you have to go to America, mid-1980s.
01:43So we're talking about 40 years.
01:45That's how tough it is to win the three-peat in Chicago Bulls reference, right?
01:51Right.
01:52Let's talk about two teams that also come with heavy expectations.
01:55El Equipo del Pueblo.
01:57Guadalajara, the team of the people facing Monterrey, a team also in the limited wallet,
02:04unlimited spending.
02:05They're bringing in great players like Lucas Ocampo to replace Maximeza.
02:08They have Germán Bertarame who received great news.
02:10We'll talk about in just a second.
02:12They're in fourth place after the draw against Chivas.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Monterrey is also a strong team.
02:17Chivas, you know, I think they're distracted.
02:19There's a lot of rumors about the exit, the possible exit of their coach, Gago, going
02:24to exercise that specific clause on his contract where the only team available to secure his
02:30services was Boca Jr., where he's a big fan and, you know, as an Argentinian coach, is
02:36very, very important and it's, for the most part, an opportunity that you cannot go past
02:42to go and sit at that stadium and be at the helm of such an organization.
02:48In detriment of Chivas, which is having a very inconsistent season with great games,
02:545-0 wins and some terrible games, Chicharito not really being able to be on the pitch as
03:01much as they would like to and, you know, I don't see that Chivas has a plan to bring
03:07back the glory days that they used to have.
