00:00First off, you know, we have to talk about Kansas City with 29 points and like Chivas said, eight game winning streak.
00:07This is absolutely incredible, but also I want to talk about who is going to be good enough to face Kansas City in this final.
00:14If I had to give my top four, I have to say Orlando Pride, who is in second place right now, Washington Spirit, San Diego, who was the dark horse this season, and finally Portland Thorns.
00:24But before we get too much into that, guys, I want to know your prediction for this amazing game this weekend.
00:30It's going to be a crazy game.
00:32I predict that Orlando, because I'm a big Marta fan, I believe that Marta has the power in her boots to make anything happen.
00:40So I say that Orlando Pride goes to the upset 2-1 or 1-2 if you're very orthodox.
00:48For me, I believe in the power of supporters and Kansas being at home and not just that, you know, being the best team right now.
00:55I think Kansas is going to take a 3-1.
00:56So, Kami, let us know, how do you think that they're going to break down tactically this game?
01:01Yeah, great prediction, guys.
01:02I think that this is going to be Kansas' time to shine.
01:05I think they are going to assert their dominance in the league, and I will tell you why.
01:10Because they are an offensive superpower.
01:12We have, you know, icons like Chewinga up there.
01:15She is an incredible player, just scored her 30th regular season goal.
01:20She is the fastest player to ever do so.
01:23This team is so dynamic up top.
01:25They play, they work so well together here.
01:27I mean, what a stacked squad.
01:29It is just going to be an incredible match to see.
01:32But I mean, let's not let this Orlando Pride team far behind, because we have icons like Banda, who is in the third place for all-time goal scorer of the season.
01:41Again, I do not think this is going to be an easy match by any matter.
01:45And, I mean, look at the caliber of player.
01:46We have my top, my favorite player in the league, I think, Chewinga.
01:50I mean, she is just an incredible player, actually.
01:53I don't know if you guys have heard.
01:54The Ballon d'Or, does that ring a bell at all?
01:56Well, the one that Marta has won?
01:58I think so, yes, of course.
02:00That is right, because the NWSL has a crazy amount of players nominated for this prestigious award.
02:06The highest award that an individual player can earn.
02:09Camila, what are your predictions for this award season?
02:12I mean, it's kind of hard to give predictions when we have so many amazing players.
02:17But, yes, we are seeing a total of five nominations for the Ballon d'Or from the NWSL.
02:23I think that this is an incredible achievement for the league, because it is a testament that they are able to produce top-quality players.
02:30You know, we have icons like Marta, Banda, Chewinga, like we said, but also other icons who just came from playing, you know, the Euros.
02:38We saw Esther Gonzalez, who is also in the NWSL, Bon Mati.
02:41So, I think, honestly, it's hard to tell, but I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that a player from the NWSL is able to take this amazing trophy home.
02:49But, clearly, I think the most heartwarming and nostalgic winner for this amazing trophy would be Marta,
02:55because it is, unfortunately, probably going to be the last time she is nominated for this award.
03:00But, if I had to choose my top three to win this award, hmm, let's see.
03:05Okay, we got to go with Chewinga.
03:06I mean, she just excels in the NWSL.
03:09Chloe Kelly, of course, for her amazing performance in the Euros.
03:13And, of course, Bon Mati, who had another amazing performance and really showed us a testament of resilience in the Euros.
03:19But, I do not want to get too far ahead of myself.
03:22There are also more games in the NWSL happening this weekend, such as Bay FC versus San Diego Wave.
03:29Bay FC is, you know, towards the bottom of the table, and San Diego is fighting for their spot at the top.
03:34What do you guys think is going to go down?
03:36Bay FC, brand new team, but the NWSL is struggling.
03:39It is, I think, something is expected.
03:42San Diego Wave fighting for that spot at the top four.
03:46It's going to be a great game, but, obviously, San Diego is going to take it.
03:48San Diego has been the big revelation of this tournament.
03:51Camila, just like you predicted early in the season, you were like, San Diego is going to get it, and they are getting it.
03:57Soon, they will have a special game where they're going to retire the jersey of Alex Morgan, a historical player for the U.S. national team, and for San Diego Wave as well.
04:07Now, let's move on to the next game.
04:08What is also happening this weekend?
04:10Yes, we have another super exciting match happening this weekend.
04:13We have the Portland Thorns versus North Carolina Courage.
04:16These are two teams that are fighting for that middle-to-top spot in the standings, and I think this is going to be a battle because, at the end of the day, to be honest, both of these teams, they need the three points to get them that leg up.
