00:00And we're going to start with a game that I know Chivas is very, very, very, very, very, very happy with Chivas beating America,
00:09El Superclásico, en la ida de CONCACAF Champions. Chivas, tell me, dime qué viviste en la noche de anoche.
00:17First of all, you know, let's say that Chivas with a new coach, again, Gerardo Espinoza, bringing it down, playing very defensive.
00:26He focused a lot on defending the goal because it's very important, right? They score and we have to score, too.
00:32Chivas played really well defensively. I think America struggled a lot to score on Chivas.
00:39Now, yes, it was an own goal and we won 1-0 over because of an own goal.
00:44But Chivas played pretty decent, especially because we play against El TricampeĂłn that has been playing very good.
00:51I'm very happy, excited for the future of this team. I think that we have a team to compete and we're going to have a lot of surprises with Chivas.
01:02Let's remember that in this tournament, the away goals are really important because they count more. That was not the case.
01:09Let's go on the opposite side of the equation. Galaxy losing by the same score, but they were not able to go and do a mark on their visit to Costa Rica against Terediano.
01:20Nick, what was the failure of Galaxy in this game?
01:24I would say the basic failure that's plaguing them in the regular season as well is they're trying to come out the gates and rebuild.
01:32This is a brand new team that's completely lost its way. It's a car driving without its headlights in the light, essentially.
01:38And then you combine that with the fact that in this kind of tournament, which is what makes this tournament so special,
01:43you're traveling to other countries, different climates, far away, and you're playing against teams that are going to surprise you,
01:49that have a completely different pace, a different tempo, a different style.
01:52Whether that is a Costa Rican team, it doesn't need to be the case. A Nicaraguan team, a Haitian team, they might surprise and they often do.
01:59And that's actually my favorite part about this tournament. I'm just trying to be optimistic.
02:03I'm trying to think of something positive to say here because things are not looking good for the Galaxy.
02:08But hey, we're coming back home. Let's see if we can kind of get our act together and start to show some sort of semblance of a team
02:17that can actually repeat something from the last season without our key players, who are not expected until the summer at least.
02:24So we'll see how it goes. But yeah, not a good start for the Galaxy.
02:28We're lucky that we even didn't have to do the earlier games because we had to buy things to our success last year. So whatever.
