00:00Let's talk about the three teams that are on the top of the standings starting at the bottom

00:04with none other than San Diego Wave. This team that has been rising. Talk to me.

00:10I mean, this is a big underdog team. We saw earlier at the season they were at bottom to

00:14mid-tier, but somehow they have just managed. They are in a 6-1-1 run so far, so they are

00:20riding this momentum, and I really think that it has to do a lot with team chemistry. I mean,

00:24we have to remember that this is a extremely new team. This is their second season so far,

00:30I think. So I think once that team starts meshing better, the team chemistry, the results are

00:34showing up on the field. It is showing indeed. Now let's talk about a team that is the current

00:38champion, none other than Orlando Pride, headed by Mazda. How are they doing? What was their

00:44last result? I mean, Orlando Pride is Orlando Pride. They are an incredibly strong team.

00:49This weekend, again, they got another three points, but I do want to note, a bit shaky,

00:54it was only a 1-0 win over Bay FC, who is last. And Bay FC peppered them with shots,

01:0020 shots on goal. I think Orlando Pride got a little bit lucky, and I think I could have seen

01:04them be a bit stronger. Now let's talk about the team that is setting the standard in the league,

01:09and that is Kansas City current. 10 wins, two losses. That is an incredible run for this team.

01:15They have, like we said earlier this season, they have an incredibly strong fan base, and I think

01:19that is a strong momentum throughout the season. They secured another three points this weekend

01:24against Racing Louisville, winning 4-2 and scoring three goals in only 20 minutes. That is incredible.

01:31I think it speaks for itself how strong this team is being this season.
