00:00What are your thoughts? Cruz Azul is the favorite team to win this cup?
00:04I believe so, man. It was a very intense game. We all know that for many years Cruz Azul haven't
00:08been able to beat America in knockout rounds and finally they were able to, you know, take that
00:14away and win a really good game. I think it was a very, very nice, good game. Sepulveda coming in
00:20strong, giving Cruz Azul the advance for the semifinals and the Conca Champions. And man,
00:26you know, America, they've been winning everything, but Conca Champions, they just can't.
00:30It's a tournament that definitely has not been graceful to America, losing famously to LAFC.
00:38Now to Cruz Azul, they will have to go back to the drawing board. Another game that turned out to be
00:44really exciting at the end was Tigres versus Galaxy. Galaxy facing one of the hardest periods of their
00:51history. Seven games without winning in the league after being the champions. A record,
00:56a negative record that you can want. Now they go face Tigres. They seem to have an opportunity,
01:01but they let that go. Tigres advances. Chiba, what is happening with Galaxy? It's a team that
01:07should have a lot more potential, but things don't seem to be gelling.
01:11I mean, just like Nick says every time, man, there's a lot of injuries.
01:14Key players are not in the team right now.
01:16But look, man, they give a good fight. They give a good fight in Tigres and Monterrey.
01:22Tigres got nervous at times because Galaxy was pushing forward pretty good. But at the end of the
01:26day, they're not delivering. You know, they won the championship and it seems like it hurt
01:30them more than it helped them to grow. But let's see, man. Again, the MLS season is young.
01:36They still have a lot to go. And unfortunately for them, they're out of the Conca Champions.
01:40Yeah. And Tigres advances. Tigres, Diego Lainez after the game. One of his statements was that
01:48this was a very difficult team. That is one of the biggest teams in MLS. And they put up a good
01:53fight. You're right, Chiba. So now we have set up Cruz Azul contra Tigres. A really, really important
02:02game. What are your predictions? Who do you think has an edge on this encounter?
02:08I think that Cruz Azul has a better team right now. At this moment, they have a better team.
02:12Vicente Satchez has only lost one game since he came with Cruz Azul. And on the other hand,
02:17I think Tigres has been struggling with a new coach. I think that, you know, Guignac is not there no
02:21more. He's not playing. Even though they have some young players, excited players too. I think that
02:26they're not going to be able to beat Cruz Azul. Cruz Azul is going to invest in the final.
