00:00I'm excited to talk about this segment, obviously not as exciting to many fans
00:07around MLS, especially with the elimination of Inter Miami. I think that
00:11hurt. I think a lot of us wanted to see Messi, Suarez and Alba challenging
00:16perhaps the LA teams. You know, Brad Gussan was a beast. Brad Gussan was
00:21unstoppable in that series, but in your opinion, what happened there? Why did
00:25Miami end up with that early exit? I think for me, it really boiled down to
00:30defensive mismatch, right? Like Miami in the third game, they came out, they score
00:35a goal, immediately you felt that the team had relaxed themselves. The marking
00:41wasn't as tight, the running wasn't as fast and you know, Atlanta took
00:47opportunity and they made it really, really well. They noticed that Miami was
00:52playing with a really high line and they exploited that with a very fast
00:55player that was able to define two amazing breakthrough goals and I feel
01:02like Miami didn't have a response. Another thing that it was very clear to
01:06me is that most players had like this instinctual movement to offload the ball
01:11to Messi, where at some times I saw a couple maybe choices that you know were
01:17better options for the moment, but you could tell that everybody started
01:20panicking as you saw the minutes go by. They were trying to just offload the
01:25ball to Messi that he, you know, show what he's capable of, but at the same
01:28time in MLS that's not enough. You cannot just use one player to beat a whole team
01:33like Atlanta.
