00:00We see the true colors and the reality of MLS.
00:04We cannot hang with the big boys of Liga MX.
00:09My team had nothing to do yesterday against Toluca.
00:13The team was out of shape.
00:1530 minutes into the game, you could see Son, a world-class player,
00:20ready to go to a World Cup, panting and breathing through the mouth at the 30th minute.
00:26This is ridiculous.
00:27Now, saving grace, they were forced by MLS, like we mentioned,
00:31to play on Saturday or Sunday against San Diego
00:34and then do a terrible decision from the league.
00:37But the reality is that you have to show up.
00:39You have to go.
00:40And then, Chiba, I'm going to let you go and drill this one home
00:45because, my God, Buanga has proven that if the game is big, the player is small.
00:53I don't know about that one.
00:54I don't agree with you because the only one that showed up that actually showed up was Buanga.
00:58Even though he was playing on the right when he usually plays on the left.
01:01Blame Tillman.
01:03Tillman, man.
01:03Like, he has 0-0.
01:05He has the opportunity to score the 1-0 for LAFC.
01:08Open goal.
01:09Nobody, no pressure, no goalie.
01:11And he misses that opportunity.
01:13It's just unbelievable.
01:14But now, speaking of the whole thing, no excuses.
01:18Toluca did what they're supposed to do.
01:19They came out hungry.
01:20They wanted to be in the final.
01:22They outplay LAFC.
01:25Dos Santos looked bad.
01:27You know, I think the substitutions that he made.
01:29Nathan Nordasa has been doing really good.
01:31Martinez has been doing really good.
01:32They were both on the bench.
01:33Nathan didn't even come in.
01:34He'd rather play Ebovasi.
01:36I mean, so many things that we can talk about.
01:39But at the end of the day, we lost.
01:40But let me tell you something.
01:41When you're a true fan, you always wear your colors.
01:44You don't hide.
01:44You don't put it under,
01:46abajo de la cama, como los americanistas,
01:48que cuando ganan salen de la cantarilla.
01:50Or, you know, los del Atlas.
01:52You know, they lose and they don't even wear their jersey.
01:54But anyway, I think that the fact that we lost
01:57a team versus Toluca, it's something good.
02:00Because Toluca is el bicampeón del fútbol mexicano.
02:02They're a great team with a great coach.
02:04He's a great coach that cries too much.
02:06But he's a great coach.
02:07Now, before we go into the whole brouhaha
02:11that happened in the press conference
02:12where Marcos Santos said that, you know,
02:15one needs to have class in victory as in defeat.
02:18And he did not appreciate the clownish behavior
02:21of El Turco Mohamed.
02:23Maybe he's not familiar with his game.
02:25We know El Turco for a long time.
02:27And this is very normal in El Turco.
02:29But just like Turco doesn't know about the culture
02:31that we have with LFC.
02:32Because Turco was mentioning that we were celebrating
02:35dando la vuelta olimpica.
02:36Turco, it doesn't work like that, my brother.
02:38It's not always like that.
02:39It's about LFC.
02:40They do that every single game.
02:42The players go around the stadium
02:43thanking the fans for being present, not celebrating.
02:45Now, LAFC is out of the competition.
02:48Toluca, for me, is not the favorite to win the final.
02:52I think Tigres has the momentum.
02:54They've been improving in Liga MX.
02:56They've been improving in CONCACAF.
02:57They had a bad season.
02:58And you know what momentum is.
03:00Yeah.
03:00When a team starts low and then towards the end they heat up,
03:03normally that's an edge for them.
03:06What do you think Nashville lacks to be, you know, a team that makes it to the final?
03:12Oof.
03:14Creativity.
03:15I think they lack that kind of creativity that we're going to see from the Mexican sides.
03:18And I think that's sort of the bigger picture that we're talking about here.
03:21What we're getting, as MLS fans, me personally, a humble reminder,
03:26that Liga MX squads are still the favorite.
03:29They're still stronger.
03:30They have that history.
03:31They have that legacy behind them that these squads might not have.
03:35And it's kind of showing right now.
03:37As much as I am a Galaxy fan, I love Galaxy.
03:40I don't want to see LAFC win.
03:42This is the same squad that knocked us out.
03:44But Toluca, clearly the stronger squad in that matchup between you guys,
03:48as they were with us as well.
03:49And I think we're kind of, this is a nice little humbling moment for us.
03:53Or at least for me as only an MLS fan.
03:56I don't have a Liga MX squad.
03:57I'm from here, so like, you know.
03:58Why didn't you say,
04:00What's going on?
04:01Well, that's what they branded me, you know.
04:03America is sort of like the Galaxy of MX.
04:06You're right about that.
04:07They have the most championships.
04:08They're the most decorated squad in LA and MX.
04:11We've created a monster.
04:12But they barely squeezed into the playoffs.
04:15I'm hoping the Galaxy will do the same.
04:16So there's that little thing.
04:18That little connection.
04:19But I don't care about America.
04:20They can do whatever they want.
04:21I hope you go through against America.
04:23But yeah.
04:24So that's kind of my take.
04:25I think Nashville needs to be creative.
04:27I think they need to open things up and remember that this is not MLS.
04:31You've got to show up.
