Summary

The Athletic's Felipe Cardenas is back on the show to discuss Mexico advancing to the Gold Cup Final. To do so, they had to get past a difficult Haiti side, and Felipe has insight into how they did so and what opportunities the USA/Jamaica might be able to exploit.

After that, it's on to the first Copa America semifinal in which Brazil eliminated Argentina 2-0. What next for La Albiceleste? Just how good is this Brazil team? Why aren't Bolivia more competitive? All that and much more!

Daryl Grove is not with me in studio today, so instead I'm going to be speaking to the athletics, Felipe Cardenas. We're going to be discussing the Gold Cup and Copa America, as we have done previously. But we go deep on what Mexico have done so far, how they managed to make it to the final, how they managed to get past a very talented Haiti team and what we should expect from Haiti going forward. And then we look at Copa America. Brazil eliminated Argentina last night. So discussions on maybe what happened there, how Brazil were able to get that done, and maybe

1:21.7

where Argentina are as a national team right now. It's not as bad as you would expect, but it's

You nailed it. There we go. All right. Got it. Off to a good start. We'll see if I keep it going. Because I want to talk El-Tree up front. You've been covering Mexico for the athletic, and then you've

2:19.9

basically been covering Copa America, I guess, for yourself and for the Total Soccer Show.
