00:00The Liga MX is in the playoff stage, almost, almost,
00:05but the group is pretty much decided.
00:08The top six teams are pretty much secure.
00:10There's still some wiggle room for the last two.
00:13Should we take a look at the table?
00:16Absolutely. Let's do it.
00:17Some key results from this weekend while we put up,
00:20I have to go quickly my top three.
00:22Tigres, Cruz Azul, an amazing game.
00:24Cruz Azul was able to get the 3-2 victory.
00:26We also have to talk about the Toluca-Monterrey game,
00:30winning 4-0 over Monterrey.
00:32And, of course, I'm sure you guys catched the Pumas and America game.
00:35It was a 2-2 draw.
00:38There you have it, Camila, the table of position,
00:41the standing of Liga MX, Cruz Azul.
00:44We were talking about it in the Nation Sports earlier in the week,
00:48dominating performance in the last five games, winning all five games.
00:51What do you make of this last push for Cruz Azul
00:53that was spottering mid-season and allowing teams like America,
00:58Chivas, and Toluca to be los mandones del torneo for a long period of time.
01:02And then at the end, they sneak out of the way, you know,
01:05from almost outside of the Liguilla spots
01:07to have a great, great closering of the tournament.
01:10Absolutely.
01:11I think this was a massive victory for Cruz Azul.
01:15This was definitely what they needed to kind of put the nail in the coffin.
01:18I think they are a serious title contender.
01:21I think they've proved that.
01:22Obviously, a rocky start to the season.
01:24But we were talking about this in Liga MX.
01:27Something that we love and we also hate about the league
01:29is that things change like this, right?
01:31So, you know, I think they absolutely showed up.
01:34They proved that they're a serious contender.
01:36And I think going into the playoffs, I would be definitely worried about them.
01:39Now, they have a very important game in front of them.
01:42Like we can see, Chivas contra Cruz Azul.
01:45So, this might be the opportunity for Chivas to steal the first place
01:49of the competition.
01:50So, it's going to be a partida.
01:51So, we will see probably the best two teams beside America.
01:56Toluca is also there, but I feel like Chivas, Cruz Azul and America
02:00towards the end of the season, they really proved that they were
02:02a little bit higher than the rest.
02:04Absolutely.
02:05And speaking about America and Chivas, I think they definitely still remain,
02:08you know, within striking distance of that first place.
02:11We know that that holds so much weight, especially going into the playoffs.
02:15So, I think, you know, it's going to be really important.
02:18These next couple games are so important, not only for them, you know,
02:22getting those points, but for the mentality going into the playoffs,
02:25which we know is what matters most, especially for Liga MX.
02:29Now, let's talk about the bottom of the Liguilla pack.
02:34I'm talking about Santos, León and Pachuca.
02:3725, 23, 22, 25, 23 and 22 points.
02:42And then, right outside of it, Tijuana, Monterrey, Pumas,
02:45and maybe Querétaro as well, with a miracle of Christmas,
02:49where a lot of combinations need to happen for these teams to get in.
02:52Monterrey has a net because they have one game at hand,
02:55so they could very easily get to up to 27 points
02:59and completely seal their participation in Liguilla.
03:03Camila, who do you think has a chance to actually make it into the Liguilla
03:06from this band of bandits that couldn't do it in the regular season?
03:11You know, I definitely would have said Monterrey maybe a week ago,
03:15but the 4-0 loss after this weekend, the way that they performed,
03:19I just, I don't know.
03:21I can't expect them to be able to, obviously, the defense is seriously lacking,
03:24and I can't expect them to be able to step up to the plate when it needs to.
03:28Pijuana definitely is going to be a serious contender.
03:31Obviously, we know Gilberto Mora, it's his last season with Icholo.
03:35I feel like they kept him from playing too much this season
03:38to prevent any type of injuries.
03:39Exactly, to prevent anything.
03:41But I think it would be, that's what I'm rooting for, ultimately.
03:44That's what I'm rooting for, ultimately.
03:46It would be kind of a Cinderella story, one last hurrah.
03:49But, like you said, definitely suspicious with the playing time.
03:53But, hey.
03:54A little bit, right?
03:57Well, I think Pumas has a very slim chance to participate.
04:02And if we, you know, let's see, if we go a little bit lower
04:05in the standings, Kami, it's that chaffa.
04:10It's that chaffa, because look at what we see.
04:13Tigres in 15th place.
04:16You've seen, not winning the last five, not winning a single game
04:19in the last five.
04:20Juarez, closing a little bit better with two wins in a row,
04:24which is crazy to think.
04:25There you go.
04:25Now they have three wins in the tournament.
04:28But, well, there's still very dismal participation
04:31from those equipos de latin nation.
04:33Thanks.其實很棒.
