00:00Monterrey, Las Rayadas vs. America, can we break it down for us?
00:03Yeah, this was such an exciting road to get here.
00:06I knew from the very beginning that America was going to make it to the final.
00:09Because if you look back to the last championship, the way they lost against Tigres,
00:13I'm not an America fan, but it was a little heartbreaking.
00:16I felt like they wanted it more than Tigres,
00:18and I knew that they were going to come hard this season and they were going to play.
00:21And if I'm predicting it now, I think America is going to take it home.
00:24Absolutely, I'm predicting it early.
00:26That's my opinion, that's my opinion.
00:29I'm so sorry.
00:31They're going to play against a team from Monterrey,
00:33so the same thing is going to happen from last season,
00:35they're going to lose again with a team from Monterrey.
00:38Las NorteƱas vienen con todo.
00:40Las Rayadas was a very consistent team
00:43that spent most of the season in first, second or third place,
00:47depending on results, how many games at hand, what not.
00:50But it was clear that they were also the challengers for this title.
00:54Tigres was hot and cold for the whole season.
00:57They're defending champions, although they have one of the most stacked teams coming.
01:01It's a Latin Asian team, and they disappointed us.
01:03But you know who didn't and actually overperformed?
01:06Juarez.
01:07Yes.
01:07Juarez made it to the playoffs.
01:09They actually made it really difficult for America to advance.
01:12Yeah, they did.
01:12Sing their praises.
01:13Yeah, absolutely.
01:14I mean, this is a repetitive pattern that we're seeing for Juarez.
01:17Last championship, Juarez gave Tigres the number one spot from last season in the standings,
01:22a huge run for their money.
01:23I think that a very big positive of Juarez is that they can come up and they can compete against
01:28anybody.
01:29The only thing they're missing is that consistency, right?
01:32Because it doesn't matter if you can go up against these top teams and tie and maybe even win.
01:37If you're not consistent in the mid to lower table teams, unfortunately, it doesn't really get you that far.
01:42Alex, I know you were watching that game.
01:44How do you put 11 goals on your opponent?
01:47Mm-hmm.
01:487-1 on the first leg.
01:50A massacre.
01:514-3 on the second leg.
01:54What happens to a team like Toluca, we know what happens to them.
01:57But like a team to America, now that they move on to the final.
02:00I mean, I feel like it's a mental thing.
02:02You get your team in this state of scoring goals, and then once you score those first two or three,
02:08you get on a run.
02:10So, I mean, they definitely showed that eran las reinas de la casa.
02:14They took over, and they just, it was a massacre.
02:16So I think, like, going off what Cami said, America might be the champion.
02:21It hurts to say it because I know in Liga MX do anything but be an America fan.
02:25But I think, like, we have to give it to them.
02:29That's right.
02:29Chivas, you were excited because Las Chivas Femeninas were, you know, a little bit on the up-come.
02:36They, at the end, they couldn't, just like my Pumas, that they just, Las Pumitas no rifaron.
02:40But we see that, continually, the Mexican teams in the female side are performing at a very high level.
02:48These representatives, these four teams that we have right now, Pachuca, Tigres, America, and Rayadas,
02:55they show the standard of the Mexican league.
02:58Do we feel like we are competing at a global stage?
03:01Is the Liga MX Femenil one of the top five in the world?
03:05I don't think they're there yet, but they're definitely on the path to be there.
03:09We've seen this huge change on the style of football, on the level of football.
03:15So, honestly, I'm very proud of Liga MX Femenil because they have brought the, now you can see it with
03:21the national team.
03:22Now the national team goes to tournaments and they actually, you know, go and participate and they try to win
03:27the games.
03:28Their level is bigger, is better.
03:30Creo que la Liga MX Femenil is going to be ready in five years.
03:34They're going to be, I don't know, top five, but definitely in the top ten.
03:37Definitely. And I mean, just if we look at the growth alone, I think last championship they had something around
03:4320 million people tuning in.
03:45Five million, five million more than the year before.
03:49So this is a, you know, exponentially growing league.
03:51And I think it's definitely going to be one of the top in the world.
03:54But I don't know because if, you know, looking over at Europe, Barcelona, who shout out to them because they
03:59just won the women's team,
04:00the Champions League, something that the men's team couldn't do.
04:06They are just on fire over there, dominating everybody, winning, beating Real Madrid 20 to one.
04:12I mean, insane stats. So I'm, I know. Sorry, Chibon.
