00:00We have everything you need to know about the roster moves that are happening in MLS
00:06and our picks for this week and that's why I'm here with Nick C and Chiba Mayor, experts
00:14on the matter, and we see LAFC changing up the team in a real way.
00:22Now I think that is taking a page out of the Columbus book and bringing a lot of very,
00:29very experienced MLS players into the fold, creating a very mature team in my opinion.
00:36Mark Delgado coming from Galaxy, that was really striking to me.
00:41We send them the Champions League with McCarthy, maybe they're sending him back with Mark Delgado,
00:47I don't know.
00:48Impressive Southern California career, now playing for Chivas USA, Galaxy, and LAFC in
00:56his career.
00:57Interesting fact.
00:58How do you feel about losing such an important player, Nick, because Mark was fundamental
01:03for the Galaxy's championship?
01:05Oh, for sure.
01:06I think Galaxy is kind of struggling right now with that age-old question that a lot
01:11of MLS teams have.
01:12It's like, is this success that you have going to hamper you because, you know, as you're
01:16more and more successful, it becomes harder to keep the squad that you have because of
01:20all the rules that go on that are very complicated and no one really understands the cap rules.
01:24It's all behind the scenes and complicated, but, you know, I think they're trying to do
01:27what they can.
01:28They're moving the chess pieces around the board.
01:30They re-signed Eric Zabaleta, which I think was huge for them, so I'm happy with that.
01:34We still got our other big players.
01:36We're sitting on the sidelines watching what's going to happen with Puig, you know, he's
01:39in Barca right now, he's in Barcelona, he's at home, he's trying to recover.
01:42So we've got to see how these things are going to unfold, but I still think the future for
01:46Galaxy is bright.
01:47They had to do what I think they had to do, and they're trying to move the chess pieces
01:50around and it's hard, you know, to keep the winning squad together, as ironic as that
01:55seems.
01:56And I think that was kind of part of that chess match.
01:57Chiba, a lot of new faces are coming into LAFC.
02:00I know you are very close with the front office.
02:03I know that you are in the fall.
02:05Tell me, what's your take, what's happening at LAFC?
02:08I mean, look, first of all, let me say that I'm very happy that we got Marque Delgado,
02:13proven player.
02:14You know, I know him since he was a youngster when he was in the USA.
02:18He also won a trophy with Toronto when he was in Toronto, he was a key player for Toronto.
02:23And then he went to Galaxy.
02:26But you know, the players that are coming in, I think at the end of the day, John Torrington
02:31has always built teams to win championships.
02:35So there's, I have no doubt that we're going to have an amazing squad by the beginning
02:38of the season.
02:39You know, I think Martinez, Chamo Martinez has to step it up.
02:42Right now, we're hearing on the news that Mateos Bogus has signed with Cusasul as of
02:48today.
02:49Let's wait for the official announcement.
02:51And then we have another issue with Kike Oliveira, which is a really good player from Uruguay
02:54that doesn't want to come back.
02:56There's all this drama going on with him.
02:58And then we're hoping that Giroud finally can score goals for us.
03:02You know, it's going to be exciting.
03:04That game versus America, I think it's going to be, it's going to be a good matchup to
03:08see how LLC is going to face not just the MLS season, but also the Concordia Champions
03:14versus Colorado.
03:15Very, very excited for them.
03:17I'm looking forward to the beginning of the season.
03:20And let's hope that we win another MLS Cup.
