00:00Let's look at the table, Chivas at first, Pumas second, Pachuca, Cruz Azul complete the top four, and now Toluca,
00:08America, Atlas, León, right at the last part of the Liguilla qualifying table, and Tigres and Cholos still with Monterrey,
00:17with some sort of probability to qualify one or two games left, and I'm taken, Monterrey is out, Monterrey is
00:24out, the sixth biggest budget of the Mexican league is out of the Liguilla,
00:29a complete failure, who do we think is going to complete that eight?
00:35If you ask me, America is closing very good, they had an amazing game versus León, como siempre penal para
00:41el América in the last minute, León was down 2-0, they came back for a 2-2, they were
00:46dominating America, and then we saw that amazing penal para el América, like always when they need it, and they
00:52won the game, but honestly, they've been playing pretty good for these last two, three games, I think they're going
00:57to make it to the playoffs, and I also see Tigres advancing.
00:59Por favor, porque si no, Latination no tiene playoffs, we are trusting on Tigres to bring more football here in
01:06Latination, remember every home game of Tigres and Juarez, Juarez no more, Tigres por ahí nos regala, at least, I
01:13don't think maybe we don't have any Liguilla games if they don't qualify at least in sixth or fifth.
01:19But let's also remember where you finish, it's not just about getting in, right, well first of all, there is
01:24no play in, so it's that top eight is the top eight, there's nothing other than that, but where you
01:28finish is going to matter, that's going to determine who you're playing against, right, so squads like Chivas, you guys
01:33are sitting pretty at the top.
01:34But imagine playing Tigres on the first round.
01:37Exactly, that is going to determine, right, these next two matches are going to determine everything, essentially, so it's not
01:42just about getting in, for teams like America, it's about staying alive and getting in, Tigres, staying alive, getting in,
01:48but those teams that are already in, they've got to think about how they're going to finish and who they're
01:51going to face.
01:52Now, one thing we've got to mention is that La Liguilla es otro torneo, we've seen it, you know, season
01:57over season that you can be a first place for the entire season, and once you go into Liguilla, it's
02:02a different tournament, and most of the time, number eight kicks out number one, so I hope.
02:08Hey, Chivas, America's going to wake up, watch.
02:10¿Tienes miedo de la maldición de Super Lider?
02:12Never, I want Tigres or America for the first round.
02:15Yeah?
02:16Yes, of course.
02:17That is bold, my.
02:18If you want to be champion, you've got to be the best, right, so.
02:21You better beat them when you're fresh, before, like, you go deeper into the Liguilla?
02:25Yes.
02:28I'm excited about this Liguilla, the fact that it's directly, you know, from one to eight, not playing in the
02:34games and all that, like, this is good, that's why you see Tigres, America, Atlas, and León fighting for that
02:39final spot, it's amazing to see.
02:41León is the best team on Liga MX in the last six weeks, they are playing at a high level,
02:47hopefully they make it into the Liguilla,
02:49because it's one of those teams that you want to have that offensive, powerhouse type of football.
02:55Now, let's talk about the disappointments of Liga MX this season.
03:00And we have Santos that, at the end of the tournament, was trying to pick up, but it wasn't enough
03:06to come out of the last place.
03:07They will stay there.
03:08And the sad story, my friends, is Mazatlán, that was having a terrible, terrible season, and that was the farewell.
03:17No more Mazatlán, we're going to have El Atlante de Regreso.
03:20Was this doomed from the beginning, Chima?
03:24Man, it's, Liga MX, unfortunately nowadays, football has turned into that.
03:28I feel bad for the Mazatlán fans that give everything, that got excited, they have this beautiful stadium right next
03:34to the beach,
03:35and then all of a sudden you have these owners saying, you know what, I don't want them anymore.
03:39Ya me aburrí.
03:40Ya me aburrí, los vendo, bye-bye Mazatlán.
03:42They're not going to exist anymore, and it sucks for the fans, you know, because at the end of the
03:47day, they're the ones that make football what it is.
03:49And I think that lately, football is turning into just a business, and se están olvidando del pueblo, and Mazatlán
03:55es el pueblo, no more football.
03:57Well, what about when you think of a squad like Santos Laguna, which historically has not been a bad squad
04:02at all.
04:02They've had quite the history behind them, historically a great club in the Liga MX.
04:07Would you say it's a similar story there, or does the downfall recently of Santos Laguna kind of, is that
04:14a different picture there than what's happening with Mazatlán, or what happened with Mazatlán?
04:17Way different picture, because at least Santos Laguna are still going to stay in the Liga, you know.
04:22Mazatlán, they're not going to exist anymore.
04:23That franchise is there.
04:24Franchise is there.
04:25And here's the thing, what I think is, the problem is that this disappearance is not even sporting-based, right?
04:31Like, it's not that Mazatlán, there's a mechanism that because they were in the last place, they were descending to
04:37a different Liga.
04:37No, they're just disappearing.
04:38They're changing the franchise, bringing another team that is known to the people, but there's no team behind it.
04:45It's really just a name and a franchise, and they will bring and build a whole thing, because they believe
04:50it's more, you know.
04:51They do have one final legacy, if they are able to be the thorn in the side of one of
04:56these teams that is fighting to stay alive in the Liga.
04:59So, let's take a look here.
