Pull the standings real quick for you guys.
Tijuana in first place, Los Cholitos, Cruz Azul.
And Atlas, saludos a Luis.
El Atlas, ahí.
Levantando con nuevo coach and new players,
even with the rumor of Neymar coming there.
No pasó, no se aloquen.
Necaxa, América, Pachuca, Toluca, Monterrey.
Complete the top eight.
Camila, Mis Pumitas, No Levantan.
They were able to win one game with that beautiful,
beautiful comeback with, you know,
both players from Toluca scoring in the return to La Bombonera.
And Juárez and Tigres.
Come on, guys.
My friend Juárez, por favor.
You guys have to do something in the bay, last place.
And they've been going downwards.
I don't think they're going to have enough time.
The way they're looking, it's going to be tough.
But again, two games so far.
We're early into the season.
What are you watching this weekend?
Oh, I don't know.
You go first.
There's a lot of good games that are coming up.
Querétaro contra Tigres.
No.
My game is Juárez contra Pumas.
Because if Pumas doesn't win this game,
I don't know what's going to happen.
We're going to drop in the standings a lot.
Another one that is coming that I really like, Cruz Azul versus
Atlante, un clásico de la Ciudad de México.
Atlante coming back to the competition,
tying with América.
He's getting all of the big teams right off the top, which
could be good for a new team.
I'm looking for Puebla versus Chivas.
Puebla doing really well this weekend.
They really perform well.
Weren't able to hold on to the lead against Cruz Azul,
we know.
And Chivas also doing really well in the last season.
So I think this is going to be two giants of the league.
Chivas is trying to bring exactly that energy back
from the last tournament.
And finally, Toluca versus Necaxa.
Toluca trying to come back to the top of the standings
by winning.
They haven't been able to find that consistency.
América versus Santos.
And then we go into a pausa for the League's Cup, my friends.
But Liga MX is back.
With so much new talent, something I definitely
want to talk about.
We have so much young talent.
Who's your top pick?
Young talent in Liga MX.
This is the tournament.
This is Gilberto Mora tournament.
Le dieron la 10 de Cholos.
Finally, he's going to have the responsibility
to be the top creative of the team.
He has very few months left here in the Liga MX.
And he has to bring that attention from European teams
that want to pay that huge $20 million
clause for him to leave after he's 18.
For me, you know his buddy on Mexican national team,
Armando Gonzalez.
La Hormiga.
La Hormiga is obviously a stellar player.
And I'm really excited to see him coming in
with a little bit of maturity.
A little bit more maturity.
He's got a World Cup under his belt.
And I think it's really going to show in his style of play.
It's been amazing to see the growth of Liga MX.
Big competition with MLS right next door.
Absolutely.
And right now, one of the things that
are happening outside of the field
is that there's a new president of Liga MX.
Finally, we divided.
Miquel Arriola was the president of the federation.
And also from Liga MX.
Creating for some conflict of interest,
lining up this in, you know, the desire
to have the best World Cup possible.
Now, Miquel Arriola is going to focus on the national team.
And we have a new president that now just announced
that the promotion and relegation has finally
been abolished from Liga MX.
There was some drama this weekend.
There was some drama in Liga de Expansión MX
because Correcaminos and Mineros de Zacatecas
refused to play the first minutes of their game
in protest to this.
Because as you mentioned, Camila,
earlier when we were talking, this
was supposed to be temporary.
Six seasons, that's it.
Yes.
And then at the end of the day, it wasn't.
And I think that's, you know, it can feel like such a robbery,
right, when you're in the relegation.
And I think, you know, when we look at European teams,
they still have that fear of we need to perform at this level
or we're going to be out of here by.
And so I think if you don't have that pressure,
you kind of get comfortable, in my opinion.
I think it's part of the sport.
