00:00Let's move on to another game that is part of the play-in, that is Juarez versus Pachuca.
00:07Pachuca, a team that is one of the most advanced teams.
00:12They have the biggest infrastructure of the Mexican teams, facing one of the newest teams.
00:16A team that is the casa, because we have all the home games for Juarez here on Latin Nation.
00:22But they're going to have a hard game.
00:24But I like the team. I like Juarez. They have Pizarro. They have Murillo.
00:27Murillo scored a banger of a goal not to go, boom, cabecita right there on the first post.
00:33I loved it. So I feel like Juarez might have the edge on this tournament.
00:37They're playing at home, and they play really well against Tigres.
00:40They play really, really well against Puebla, although they drop points right there on that game.
00:44Chiba, do you think Juarez makes it to La Fiesta Grande?
00:48Look, to add to your point about Juarez, now let's talk about Pachuca a little bit.
00:52Pachuca is struggling a lot.
00:53Jaime Lozano got kicked off from Pachuca as a general manager after qualifying to the play.
01:00And yeah, it's the play, and it's not Liguilla, but he still made it to the play.
01:03And now, I do see Juarez advancing, because I think Pachuca is going through a lot of struggles.
01:09For the first time in a long time, there was no players debuting for Pachuca.
01:16No youngsters played for Pachuca in this season with Jaime Lozano,
01:19and I think that's something that is going to affect them right now and in the future,
01:22and that's why they change coaches.
01:23So I think Juarez definitely is going to advance, and they're going to make it to Liguilla.
01:27Now, Nick, let me go with you, because I know that you like Monterrey.
01:32That's right.
01:32And I hope you don't like America.
01:34Well, we have America versus Monterrey, another key game that is already defined.
01:39That's a game that is already on the Liguilla.
01:41Juarez Tugayo.
01:42All right.
01:43Right now, I'm going to, because I don't want to ruffle any feathers over here.
01:47No, I genuinely believe Monterrey is looking really good.
01:50America is America, right?
01:52All right.
01:52They're strong.
01:53They're solid.
01:54Again, they also have that infrastructure that you mentioned with Pachuca as well,
01:57fan base, the history.
01:58They have the whole package.
02:00But Monterrey, I don't know.
02:01I'm getting a good feeling about them.
02:02As long as they can stay strong in the back.
02:05They've been conceding a lot of goals, even with Mr. Ramos back there.
02:08Still, their record on that is not so great.
02:11So if they can stay strong in the back, I think they're going to do great against America.
02:14Now, Chivas, I know that you've been waiting to talk about this.
02:19Chivas coming at the Liguilla with one of the best momentum that we've seen in,
02:24I don't want to say a decade, but it might be a decade, Chivas,
02:27that we see that Chivas looks like a contender.
02:31Chicharito is awakening at the right time.
02:33And you guys have the most promising young player, the young forward in all of Mexico.
02:39Talk to me about how excited you are for Chivas to just witness how Cruz Azul, La Cruz Azulea.
02:46I mean, let me tell you, man.
02:48Super happy about what is happening with Chivas.
02:50Seven out of the last eight games they have won.
02:53And the one they lost against Querétaro, they should have won that game.
02:56Now, they closed the tournament playing versus Monterrey with Sergio Ramos, Carlos Alcet on the back.
03:02They were able to score four goals, and two of them were very important.
03:06The first one, La Hormiga Gonzalez, finally, after years, a Mexican goleador.
03:12It's a top of the scorers, tied with Paulinho from Toluca that has won it three times in a row.
03:18But we've got Hormiga, a 22-year-old, that is getting there, that is a forward.
03:21And I say it like this because it's hard to see that in Mexico.
03:25Now, it's for Chivas, of course, but I think the best moment of the game was to see, and I get chills, to see Chicharito score after a long time, almost eight, nine months without scoring for Guadalajara.
03:38But it's not about the goal.
03:39It's about the celebration, the fact that he kissed the crest and he started crying.
03:44And it was a very sentimental moment for all the Chivistas and people that love Chicharito, who has been a legend for Mexican football.
03:51Now, going back to Chivas, they are the best team.
03:54They're closing on their best.
03:56And I do see them making it to the final, even though we're going to face Cruz Azul, a team that has been very strong, consistently strong for the past years.
04:05But, come on, we always talk about La Cruz Azulada, and this can be one of the biggest Cruz Azuladas of their history.
