00:00Now, let's break down the positions on the table, my friends.
00:03Nashville continues to be el jefe.
00:06El mero amo del este, my friends.
00:08Five games.
00:09Five games in a row.
00:11Undefeated without knowing el dolor de la derrota.
00:14Now, followed by New England.
00:16That is a surprise to me, Chiba.
00:18I did not expect, I did not have in my bingo card New England to rank so high, so early
00:23in the season.
00:24Surprises, Chicago in fourth place.
00:26I really like that.
00:28But Belharter is doing a hell of a job in this organization.
00:31It's turning it around from a bottom feeder.
00:36Chicago spent two or three seasons not being able to go higher than the 15th place.
00:42So to see them up and running, it is great.
00:44And another big surprise to me is to see New York Red Bulls so low on the table on 10.
00:51They started out with a great season, playing a lot of teenagers.
00:55Is that making them pay a price?
00:58I know.
00:59I think they're building a team that is going to take them to the playoffs.
01:02They're actually doing a little bit better than that.
01:05When you have a young team like that and you're already on the top 10, that is a good path
01:09for your team.
01:10The team that surprises me the most that I cannot believe they're in the bottom of the East is Columbus.
01:14A team that in the past years have been on finals, not just in MLS and CONCACAF.
01:22And right now you're sitting in the place at the 14, 13 place.
01:25I mean, ¿qué está pasando, Columbus?
01:27¿Un jugador?
01:28¿Un jugador?
01:28No puede ser.
01:30This is the moment that MLS have to reckon with the reality that teams cannot be built around a single
01:36player that carries your team on through the season.
01:39Now let's go to the West because things are getting also crazy on the West.
01:45Let's take a look.
01:46San Jose, Los Pitufos continue to be the best team in the West.
01:52What Bruce Arena is doing is not surprising yet.
01:55I mean, I talked about it last season when they didn't even make it to the playoffs.
01:58I think the fact they have Bruce Arena was going to take a little bit of time because Bruce Arena,
02:02there's something he knows is how to build a team, a winning team.
02:05And even if it takes time, it gets to the point that they're championship contenders.
02:13We see them now in first place on the West.
02:14And then you see Vancouver in second, very consistent.
02:17Vancouver since last season and the previous season is always in the top four.
02:20And it's good to see, even though, unfortunately for them, they may turn into Las Vegas.
02:26Well, guys, guys, something that we need to bring up since Nick Z is not here to talk about it.
02:31Uy, uy, ya sabÃa.
02:32Are we seeing the rise from the dead of LA Galaxy?
02:36Because they could be in the playoffs.
02:38They're definitely in the uptrend.
02:39They were in 11th place last week.
02:42We gave Nick a lot of slack.
02:44This week, it was so much slack that he decided not to come back.
02:47So we're going to sing some praises for Galaxy.
02:50Finally getting a win.
02:52What do you think?
02:53Do you think Galaxy is finally finding a way?
02:56They have a lot of injured people and still they're making results that otherwise we thought impossible.
03:01Well, listen, I think this, I will say, I think this 2-1 win over Atlanta, it gives them great
03:06momentum.
03:07Finally, if they hope, maybe they can make it into the playoffs.
03:10But I honestly don't want to say anything positive about LA Galaxy.
03:13It makes me sick.
03:14If it's real.
03:15It makes me sick.
03:16Hey, they're from, I mean, not.
03:18They're from Carson.
03:19No, I know.
03:19I'm from Carson.
03:20The vicinity of Los Angeles.
03:22They're from SoCal.
03:22They're from SoCal.
03:23SoCal United.
03:26On a serious note, it's Carson Galaxy.
03:29They're the ones with the most championships.
03:31And one thing that they have is they have a lot of really good young players.
03:34Their camera is very good.
03:35They actually give them a real chance to their players.
03:39And they're the ones that are stepping up.
03:40Seeing them win on a way, it makes me happy because when we play Galaxy, I want to play a
03:45team that is at the top.
03:48So when we beat them, it feels better.
03:49And if we lose, at least we say, well, at least they're in the top.
03:52That's right.
03:52Let's complete the standing, my friends.
03:54And let's look at this.
03:57Continues to be surprising.
03:59Seattle on fourth place.
04:00Minnesota and Real South Lake surprising in the top six.
04:05Dallas, another team that historically hasn't been performing really well, is right there on play of contention.
04:11Houston, with this win, gets themselves on eighth place.
04:15And at the bottom of the table, we see two teams that we did not expect, Chiba.
04:19San Diego FC.
04:21The revelation from last season, maybe Spain, the hubris of their coach.
04:28Saying, I got a Chucky Lozano international star.
04:33Star and champion with Napoli, with Mexico.
04:37But I'm going to pay him six million dollars and let him just chill in Chula Vista.
04:42We don't need him.
04:43We don't need him.
04:44Los dioses del fútbol no perdonan, and that's why, San Diego, that's why.
04:48Estás pagando lo que estás haciendo.
04:50But talking about players that might be needed, do we think that Minnesota needs James?
04:56Because there's some talk that he might leave at the end of the season.
04:58No, he's gone.
04:59They're top five, but is that going to continue next season?
05:01And maybe even retiring after the World Cup?
