00:00My friends, time to break down the standings of Liga MX.
00:03Camila, surprises all over.
00:06Let's start with the elephant in the room, which is Tigres Femenil,
00:11the champions of the category now drifting down into the depths of the table.
00:18Currently below half point.
00:21What's happening with Tigres?
00:23I'm at a loss for words.
00:25Honestly, the cat's on my tongue because I don't know.
00:28Looking back at this week's Latin Nation Classic, Juarez contra Tigres,
00:32you know, you would have expected it to be a blowout.
00:34I mean, the Tigres we saw last season on the women's side
00:37was just blowing out these teams left and right,
00:40scoring five up to nine goals.
00:42And this match against Juarez, they scored an own goal,
00:45giving them an easy, easy win.
00:48And it just wasn't the same team.
00:48When you defeat yourself.
00:50Yeah, that game was just so sad.
00:53I mean, Jenny Hermoso, where were you?
00:55You know, Odoñez, where were you?
00:56I gotta say that I'm not surprised at all
00:58because if we rewind the tape
01:00and we go to the playoffs of the Apertura,
01:04that series between Juarez and Tigres was clear
01:07that Juarez was gaining momentum
01:09and the gap between the two teams
01:12was not as big as people thought.
01:15Tigres was just barely able to edge that series 1-0.
01:18And now Juarez maybe, you know, setting up a run for the playoffs now
01:25for the we can think of.
01:27Let's break down, my friends.
01:28The standings right now.
01:30We have, surprisingly,
01:32el otro equipo norteño.
01:35Monterrey topping the charts.
01:37El cabrito está de fiesta, my friends.
01:40Then we move on.
01:41America.
01:41America.
01:42Which I do have to know.
01:43They were playing extremely strong last season.
01:46I mean, they got to the finals.
01:47The game versus Tigres, it was neck and neck.
01:49And I've been saying it since last season.
01:51I think that it could be America's time.
01:54They've been really playing strong.
01:55I'm putting my money on it now
01:56and I just want to note it now.
01:59Kudos to our good friend, Ashley Naive,
02:01that was here last week and not too long ago.
02:06She's probably very, very happy.
02:08Now we have Pachuca, Chivas, and Toluca
02:12completing the top five.
02:13Alex, any of those three teams
02:16can make a run to first place in the upcoming weeks?
02:19I mean, we saw Toluca doing really well last season
02:21and Chivas as well.
02:23But I mean, I think that it's going to go to America this season
02:26just as Okami was saying.
02:28But I mean, Toluca is obviously going to put up a good fight
02:31just like they did last season.
02:33And, you know, I hope to see Tigres, you know,
02:37switch up the gears.
02:39I mean, they're right next to Juarez, seventh and eighth place.
02:42It's just not the Tigres we're used to being.
02:44Not at all.
02:45If we continue down the table, we see, like you said,
02:47Pumas right there edging on sixth place.
02:50Tigres y Juarez, Cruz Azul and Tijuana
02:52completing the top ten.
02:53And then at the bottom, Mazatlán and León.
02:57Mazatlán, another team like we were mentioning,
02:59the disaster that it is on the men's side
03:01is not at all better in the women's side.
03:04We have received this week reports that the own coach of Mazatlán
03:08came out speaking against the team.
03:11The front office saying that it's impossible to ask
03:15any performance out of their players
03:17when they have to travel up to 15, 16 hours in,
03:21you know, be a boss before and after the game.
03:24This is inhumane for a professional athlete.
03:27It's provoking injuries and straight up not caring
03:32and investing in what could be a very successful team
03:35because we see the growth on the women's side, Camila.
03:38Yeah, absolutely.
03:38It's really sad to see, you know,
03:41the way that these players are getting treated.
03:43It's just inhumane.
03:45It's unfair.
03:45As an athlete, like, you're already putting so much time
03:48into trainings, into the games,
03:50and to have to endure, you know, these long bus rides,
03:53it's just, it's sad to see.
03:55That's right.
03:56Camilita, Alex?
03:57I mean, not only is it, like,
03:59physically damaging these players, but also mentally.
04:01I mean, you go into a game
04:03where you haven't slept right the past few hours,
04:06you're going to be all foggy in your mentality.
04:09You're not going to be playing at your top level.
04:11I mean, this is just not ideal for this team.
04:14There's no way to perform under these conditions.
04:17This is not the case only I make is right now.
04:19We see teams that are struggling to find any support.
04:22They're struggling to have the most basic athletic conditions
04:28for them to thrive.
04:29And on the other hand, you see teams like Tigres and America
04:32dropping half a million dollars, $750,000 on a player.
04:38But this is all growing pains in what otherwise is a great job
04:43that Liga I Make Is Feminil is doing.
04:45Camila, Alex, final remarks.
04:47Who is going to win the tournament Liga I Make Is Feminil?
04:50I'm going to agree with Cami
04:51because I already know what she's going to say.
04:53America.
04:54America.
04:55I think America or Toluca.
04:57Toluca also showed a lot of promise,
04:59so I think they're my option number two.
