Summary
Felipe Cardenas makes his second appearance of the week to discuss how El Tri will likely approach their Gold Cup Final date with the USMNT. How can Berhalter adjust his tactics, who are some players to keep an eye on, and how bad will the Mexican press melt down if the US manages to win? All that, plus some Copa America talk. Felipe helps explain how Peru got it right/Chile got it wrong in their semifinal, as well as what the final might look like from a tactical standpoint.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Total Soccer Show. I am Taylor Rockwell. Daryl Grove is not with me instead. |
| 0:21.5 | I've got Felipe Cardenas one more time to help me preview the Gold Cup Final and the Copa |
| 0:26.2 | Final. We first look at El-Tree, maybe how they will tactically approach their game against |
| 0:31.6 | the United States, how the United States might be able to capitalize on how Mexico will |
| 0:35.3 | tactically approach this game, but then also sort of what's in |
| 0:38.5 | store for Tata Martino, if Mexico win and if Mexico don't win, how maybe the Mexican press will |
| 0:43.9 | treat both of those results. One of them, probably more favorably than the other. We then look at |
| 0:49.1 | the Copa Medical final, which will surprisingly feature Brazil. Maybe that's not the surprising one, |
| 0:53.9 | but also Peru. That is the surprising one, but also Peru. |
| 0:54.8 | That is the surprising one. They knocked off Chile in the semifinal. Three-nil, pretty dramatically, |
| 1:00.3 | pretty emphatically. So we get into how Peru managed that result and then what we should |
| 1:04.5 | sort of expect from that final, how Peru will maybe look to write the ship after losing |
| 1:09.7 | to Brazil in the group stage. So two |
| 1:11.9 | finals, two previews. Felipe does most of the previewing because he has most of the knowledge. |
| 1:17.8 | So now I will turn it over to me and Felipe. With me, once again, I've got Felipe Cardenas of the |
| 1:22.8 | athletic. I hope I got the pronunciation right for a second straight time. Felipe, how'd I do? |
| 1:26.6 | You nailed it. All right. I don't necessarily believe you, but I appreciate your positivity to start the show. Whatever it takes. And I promise one day I will stop asking. But Daryl and I are both, I think, going to try to make a concerted effort to, for me, like, rediscover Spanish since I've taken two or three years of it for Daryl, I think, to learn Spanish. We're going to try to be a little bit better about these things, mostly so that we can watch, like, Telemundo and Univision, and see what's happening, and, like, kind of understand roughly what's happening with the commentators, because it's pretty enjoyable. Well, hey, I mean, I believe in you guys. You guys are smart dudes. I think you can pick it up. |
| 2:01.7 | All right. |
| 2:01.8 | Well, I appreciate your positivity there. |
| 2:03.7 | And I appreciate you coming on the show once again to discuss all things, I guess, Copamica, all things, Gold Cup, specifically Eltree and then specifically the Copelandica final. |
| 2:14.4 | Let's start Gold Cup, though. |
| 2:15.8 | So Mexico, obviously obviously already had booked their |
