00:00But you know what? It's football, right?

00:02To see Vancouver taking revenge,

00:04this was one of them.

00:07Unfortunately for us, we had all the opportunities in the world

00:09to advance and to score that third goal.

00:12Now let's talk about the game, you know?

00:13We started with a lineup that nobody understood.

00:17Even my 11-year-old told me about the type of formation

00:21that Sherundaro put in that first half.

00:23We gave away that first half.

00:24We shouldn't have scored two goals in the first half.

00:26But at the end of the day, you know, we came back.

00:29Sonny is scoring that amazing banger

00:31and giving us hope, making it to the extra time.

00:35Now on the extra time, it's those type of games

00:37that when you see that they miss so many goals,

00:40you already know it's not going to go your way.

00:41And that's exactly what happened.

00:43And why am I happy?

00:44Because it was another successful season for LUC.

00:46Yes, we're not in the finals.

00:47We're not in the championship.

00:47Wait, wait, wait, Chiba.

00:48I'm going to have to stop you right there.

00:50No CONCAC champions, no major titles,

00:53no silverware, no new talent.

00:56Are you sure it was a successful season

00:58for the black and gold?

00:59Of course.

01:00Look, this is football.

01:01Sherundaro, oh!

01:04At the end of the day, it's football.

01:06And you've got to understand that this is part,

01:07it's growing pain.

01:09Yeah.

01:09Our fans need to learn that it's not about winning all the time,

01:12that we're not going to win all the championships.

01:14And sometimes accidents like this one happen.

01:17So we have to learn from this.

01:18That's why I'm happy because a lot of us are going to learn

01:19that it doesn't matter who you play.

01:21You've got to play until the end.

01:22If you really want to become a champion,

01:23you cannot underestimate no one.

01:26That is right.

01:26And now, let's talk about another team

01:29that closes the Western Conference Final,

01:32and that is Knicks Darling.

01:35San Diego FC that was able to do the most surprising thing

01:39and in their first season,

01:41make it to the Conference Final,

01:43surpassing LAFC already.

01:46Let me ask you a question.

01:48Tying.

01:48Tying in LAFC.

01:49They need to win this to surpass LAFC.

01:52But it looks like San Diego has everything in their power

01:57to make it to the final

01:59because Vancouver is going to come hurt.

02:01There's a lot of players that Vancouver won't have available

02:03for this game.

02:05Are you excited there?

02:06Your prediction, Nick,

02:07made it all the way to the final.

02:09Okay.

02:10So first of all,

02:11I'm excited that they even made it this far,

02:13similar to what you were saying, Shiva.

02:14I mean, it's, it's, no matter what happens from here,

02:17I mean, this is only the second time in MLS history

02:19that a team is coming out the gates,

02:21a brand new expansion is coming out the gates,

02:24this hot and making it this far to the Conference Finals.

02:27So that in itself is awesome.

02:29This is a team with no flashy big stars.

02:32I mean, they play beautifully as a squad

02:33and it's been an absolute pleasure to watch them

02:35and I'm so excited to see how far they go.

02:37I hope they make it all the way

02:39because that would be a beautiful success story,

02:40but this is going to be difficult.

02:41So we're going to have to see what happens,

02:42but it can go either way.

02:43Now, Alex,

02:44I know you want to talk about Miami,

02:46but I'm going to make you wait.

02:47So we're going to talk about

02:48New York City Football Club, Camila,

02:52because they have,

02:54es el equipo de todos.

02:57Nueva York desde la cuna

02:58because we're going against the Miami joggernaut

03:01with Messi and the MLS headquarters

03:05against New York City Football Club.

03:07So do you think that Miami is going to get in the way of it?

03:11Hard question.

03:12I mean, listen, when you look at a team like Miami,

03:14I feel like it's almost the opposite of San Diego, right?

03:17It's star players.

03:18Look at me.

03:19You know, they have that star quality.

03:21It's undeniable.

03:22They're a good team.

03:23But take away a few players.

03:25You never know.

03:25I mean, hopefully not.

03:26But if Messi gets injured,

03:28if these top players get injured,

03:29what does Miami really have?

03:31You know, the depth of their roster is not there.

03:33And that's where I think New York is going to have the upper hand.

03:36And maybe we'll see two New York winners in the United States,

03:39NWSL and MLS.

03:40I hope so.

03:42Now, it's your turn.

03:43Tell me.

03:44Is Miami going to win MLS Cup?

03:47Finally, it's going to win.

03:49It's going to pay their way.

03:50Or are we going to see another season where they just fall short?

03:54I mean, you guys love to say it's all paid for.

03:57But, you know, with the power of Messi,

04:00anything is possible.

04:01We have said in the past that, you know,

04:03they don't have that star power around

04:05with taking out Messi or Suarez.

04:10But, you know, Messi has proven that he alone can do it.

04:14He can, you know, make the play out of anything.

04:17And we'll see them against San Diego.

04:21But, you know, San Diego, I'm sorry, Nick.

04:23They're going to be going home a little bit sad this season.
