00:00It seems like Miami will get that second-in-a-row supporter shield.
00:05They are one game clear in the standings in third place.
00:09If they win that game that they have in hand,
00:11they will be two points clear from everybody else.
00:15And we are very early in the season still.
00:17Nick, what are the games?
00:20Tell me, what are the games that you're going to be looking forward to this week?
00:23And there's big and important games.
00:25What are we tuning into this week?
00:29Yeah, I mean, Cincinnati, as you mentioned, an amazing squad
00:32that everyone should be keeping their eye on.
00:34They're going head-to-head with Sporting KC.
00:37That's going to be a good one to watch.
00:39Of course, another team that's been amazing so far this season,
00:42Philly going head-to-head against DC United.
00:46Charlotte as well on the weekend against New England.
00:49Charlotte actually picked up some players here in the transfer window,
00:52so that's going to be interesting to see as well.
00:54But yeah, I mean, locally too, San Diego FC going against Rail Salt Lake
00:58over the weekend as well.
00:59So many games, so many games.
01:01Don't know where to start.
01:02But that's kind of what I've been keeping my eye on.
01:04What about you?
01:04I am, you know, watching the Sunday primetime game,
01:084 p.m. Pacific, LAFC versus St. Louis.
01:12St. Louis is not doing that well,
01:15but it's a dangerous team that can get the result.
01:17And LAFC needs to get some momentum.
01:19They need to string some wins because they have nothing else to fight
01:24unless, Nick, unless they do play that famous playoff against America
01:29to see if they qualify for the Club World Cup.
01:33That will be coming pretty soon, Nick,
01:34and we'll be having a tight coverage of that tournament.
01:37So, Nick, before we leave,
01:39let's talk about this transfer window that just closed this week.
01:42One of my favorite ones, I think it has a lot of potential,
01:45is the exit from Julian Gressel from Miami.
01:49I think that this is a very promising transfer for the player.
01:54What do you think?
01:55Oh, well, hey, well, they're picking up Maximilio Falcón,
01:57the Uruguayan defender's acquisition.
02:00I think for the team,
02:00he's going to strengthen their interior in the back, obviously.
02:02Their back line could use some strengthening
02:04and think that's going to be really great for him.
02:07Another squad that I mentioned, like 18 times already so far,
02:10is Charlotte FC.
02:12They got the Ivorian winger, Wilfred Zaha.
02:14I think that's going to be exciting as well.
02:16He is actually on loan, though,
02:18coming all the way from Turkey, from Galatasaray.
02:21So that's going to be fun.
02:22I'm always excited when we're getting international players
02:24from big teams abroad, and those are two good examples.
02:27Like I mentioned earlier, Frankie Amaya, for me,
02:30is the most exciting addition to the LAFC squad.
02:33He comes from Toluca,
02:35having a lot of success with New York Bulls,
02:37someone that knows the tournament, knows the league.
02:42Also, Ryan Raposo, it's a great player.
02:45It's a winger and an attacking-minded player
02:47that can finally feed some balls to Olivier Giroud.
02:51Dad can now say that he's a scorer for the LAFC.
02:54He's tied with Fito Celaya with one goal for the black and gold.
02:58Nick, that's enough of my jokes.
03:01We have to go on a break.
03:03Thank you for your insight.
03:04What is your main game this weekend?
03:07Oof, I got to see what's going to happen
03:08with my Galaxy against Timbers.
03:10That's not going to be an easy game,
03:12but that's going to be going down on Sunday.
03:14I'm going to be getting my rosary beads
03:16and wearing my gray T-shirt.
03:17That's what I'll be doing.
