00:00Clásicos are Clásicos, and this will define at least ACFC possibilities to make it to the playoffs.

00:06Alex, what are your expectations for this game?

00:09I mean, I think it could go either way, but Angel City has not been on a good run lately.

00:15I mean, they haven't won a game in the last at least five games.

00:18They only had drawn one, and San Diego is on a roll right now,

00:23so I think this is definitely a game for San Diego to win.

00:26But it's un Clásico. It's a derby.

00:28Anything can happen. It doesn't matter if one team is on top and the other one on the bottom.

00:32When it comes to a match on a derby, you know, the lower team, sometimes they manage to win those games.

00:39I mean, Angel City comes to the last game between them, Angel City 1-2-1,

00:44and, you know, you can expect anything from these games.

00:46It doesn't matter what position they are in the standings, and we're hoping for a great game.

00:51Are you talking about, like, the Galaxy LAFC game?

00:54Exactly. That's a perfect example.

00:56The beef is real here in Latin Nation Football Club, and in my case,

01:01I am very much looking forward to see the Thompson sisters, these very young, very exciting players,

01:07to battle it out with San Diego.

01:09Now, we have other games that are important.

01:11We have Orlando Pride, the current champions of the NWSL, against Racing Louisville.

01:17Now, Marta comes very inspired, very renovated after winning Copa America with Brazil, the best in the world.

01:24Some say, just like Marta, only Pelé.

01:28But we see that that team is still 10 points away from the first place.

01:32They're in second place, and they're fighting to have a big campeonato, a difficult one.

01:37And Chiba, do you feel like Marta is in that stretch of her career where she's going to win it all because it's the final part?

01:43Definitely.

01:44She wants to bring everything that comes, you know, up to her.

01:46And I think Orlando, they've been doing a great tournament.

01:49I mean, they're 10 points apart, but, you know, they're second place.

01:52They're still out there.

01:53Like you said, Marta comes from winning la Copa America, and I think it's only going to get better for them.

01:57I mean, Louisville is in seventh place.

01:59They're still in the playoffs, but they also need to win if they want to keep going up on the understandings.

02:05It's going to be an exciting match.

02:07Who doesn't love to see Marta play?

02:09Y hablando de Marta y trofeos, we have to do a deep dive on the final de Copa America Femenina

02:15because it was, for me, the best game of the summer.

02:19Alex, let's retort a little bit of the highlights, how this dramatic game came to be

02:25and that massive goal from Marta herself.

02:27I mean, if you wanted a back-and-forth game, this was it.

02:31Puros golazos.

02:32I mean, in the full time, we had a last-minute goal from who else but Marta herself

02:37to tie it up 3-3, and then they go into overtime just with the stakes so high

02:43that Colombia, último minuto in 115th minute, golazo de free kick.

02:51Oh, my God.

02:51And then penalties, the most stressful part of it all, ending in 5-4 for Los Brasileras.

02:59Pero, I mean, this was, honestly, if you miss this game, you got to go watch those highlights.
