00:00My friends, Nashville, Nashville, Nashville, Nashville,
00:04the best team on the East, not only went to El Estadio Azteca,
00:09you know, now known as Estadio Banorte,
00:12well, I refuse to call it, so Estadio Azteca,
00:14and les dieron un Aztecazo a la América to my heart content,
00:20an MLS team wins in Azteca for the first time,
00:24the same team that is topping the standings on the East,
00:27above Miami's Messi.
00:29Oh, my God.
00:30Okay, how much of that is Nashville being genius,
00:34and how much of it is America just being right now?
00:37Half and half.
00:38Half and half?
00:38Half and half.
00:39Nashville is brilliant.
00:40They're playing absolutely amazing.
00:41If America was playing the way they were playing two years ago,
00:45at the height of the Jardin tenure, different story.
00:50But today, that's the beauty of football.
00:53But now, let me shift my attention with Crespo.
00:56Brujo, Brujo, Miami is sounding alarms all over.
01:02Mascherano, the coach that just shy of four months ago
01:05bring you the championship, is now let go.
01:09Probably he got into argument with Messi.
01:13Bertarame, Bertarame is under the impression that he's not as wanted
01:19as he thought he was in the team.
01:22He's not playing.
01:23Scored one goal in eight games.
01:26¿Qué pasa con Miami, Crespo?
01:27I mean, with Bertarame, it's an Argentinian team,
01:29and you got a Mexican in there?
01:31I mean, that says enough.
01:33I mean, it's an Argentinian Mexican.
01:34He should be able to fit in.
01:36Yeah, the beef is still kind of there, but...
01:39No, but besides that, I mean...
01:41What's going on with Miami?
01:42With Mascherano, I mean, it's sad to see this, but, you know...
01:45Is it a Messi thing?
01:47Who knows?
01:47It's always a Messi thing when it's about Miami.
01:49Probably, probably.
01:51I mean, that's why we got DePaul, was because Messi's there, you know?
01:55But...
01:55He has a section of the new stadium with his name on it
01:58when he's still in the field.
01:59But, I mean, the only reason people know Miami is because...
02:03Not just because of David Beckham.
02:05At first, it was because of David Beckham getting a new team and everything.
02:09Sir Beckham.
02:09Sir Beckham, my bad.
02:11The guy married to the Spice Girl.
02:15So, but, you know, Messi's the one that made Miami what it is today.
02:20Oh, for sure.
02:20So, I mean, that's why he has his stand.
02:22That's why the club is where it's at right now, because...
02:26Well, between the first place and the third place,
02:29there's a very, very surprising team.
02:32And I'm talking about Chicago, Nick.
02:35Yeah.
02:35Chicago, a team that not too long ago was a bottom feeder.
02:38Always fighting those last four spots on the table.
02:42Now, with Berhalter taking over the organization,
02:46not only as a head coach, but also as the top head of the front office.
02:50How important it is for Chicago to be back in the top of MLS?
02:56Oh, my God.
02:57It's wildly important.
02:58If we look back, if we refer back to my T-shirt,
03:00you will see Chicago Fire as one of the original members of the MLS.
03:05Do not zoom in too much, because you'll see the guacamole stain on my shirt.
03:09But, back to Chicago.
03:10It's huge. This is a legacy club,
03:13something you wouldn't know about as an LAFC fan.
03:16So, it's great to see them back at the top.
03:18It's good. We love to see it.
03:19It means a lot.
03:19What I do know is being at the top of the standings,
03:22because let's go to the West.
03:24Because, let's see, Vancouver, first place.
03:28San Jose, another...
03:31Speaking of which...
03:32Original franchise, in second place on the West.
03:35They used to be called San Jose Clash.
03:37I mean, is this thanks to Timo Werner?
03:40Timo Werner is definitely a reason why,
03:43but also because Bruce Arenas,
03:46one of the most condecorated coaches in MLS,
03:49is in the helm.
03:51It's at the helm of San Jose.
03:54With a revival that started with Chicho Arango,
03:56a lot of goals.
03:59But, now we see a solid team
04:02that lost their best player this season.
04:05Christian Espinosa left to Nashville,
04:08leaving a great hole in the midfield,
04:11and yet, second place,
04:12and just behind.
04:14One of the most dangerous teams.
04:16A new team that is not on T-shirt,
04:18not on Nick's T-shirt.
04:19They're not.
04:20But, they are on to the next round
04:23and going to catch champions.
04:24They spent almost six match days
04:27without receiving a goal.
04:28And, I'm talking about LAFC, that's right.
04:30El Black and Gold.
04:32Son and Buanga coming into the best rhythm
04:36that I've seen them play together.
04:38But, not only that,
04:39all other lines of the team
04:40are responding
04:41and we're seeing,
04:43I like to call it,
04:44this is the year that we win it all.
04:46Is this Sun dynasty
04:47going to carry over to the World Cup, though?
04:50Do you think?
04:50Without a doubt.
04:51I believe so.
04:52Hey, hey,
04:52the Buanga-Sun dynamic.
04:54At first, people were like,
04:55ah, Sun, well,
04:57started this season.
04:58People were like,
04:58hey, he's not scoring.
04:59There was a little bit of panic over Sun
05:01that he's underperforming,
05:02this and that.
05:02No.
05:03You don't need him to score
05:04when you've got Buanga doing his thing.
05:05They're a perfect dynamic.
05:07If Buanga's out,
05:08if Buanga's injured,
05:09God forbid,
05:09if Buanga's not on it
05:11on one game,
05:11Sun will find a way to score.
05:13But you don't need both of them there.
05:14They're working this
05:14perfect symbiotic relationship.
05:16LAFC,
05:17right now I'm calling it.
05:18You guys are going to win this year.
