The thing is that Messi needs runners around him, and adding Suarez, if he's not going to move, with Busquets might be too much. But we'll see, basically Miami's success depends on Messi's fitness.

No. It will depend on the midfield, defense and work rate. They were last in the league at both last season MLS. Adding Alba, Busquets, etc isn't going to help that.

The MLS referees will give Messi the glass doll treatment though. So that should make it very easy for him.

That said, MLS is like the second division of a tier 2 league. Such as the second division in Portugal or Holland. So the lack of competition will help.

First MLS goal for Suarez

Make it two.

Nobody watches the MLS. Either talentless kids or geriatric has-beens. 3rd division level in top 5 European leagues. It's just one big marketing ploy without delivering any quality.

Miami roasting Orlando, my man Robert Taylor getting on scoring sheet.

Lol MLS is now the league to watch.

Miami thumps Orlando 5-0 with Messi and Suarez double, the best performance I've seen from them yet.

Also never seen game played in so much snow.

Messi doesn't play and Miami loses to freaking Montreal at home.

Basically. The football is absolutely dreadful.

Why Harmonica's updates on Messi are redundant bc it's against potato farmers from Idaho.

Inter Miami through to QF of CONCACAF Champions Cup, beating Nashville 3-1 (5-3 agg).

Miami with Messi has won 14 games out of 19 or 74%, without only 1 out of 9 or 11%. They've only lost one game with Messi starting and that was the pointless last game last season.

Messidepencia.

DC leading already Messiless Miami

by Harmonica Sat Mar 16, 2024 7:49 pm

Miami been on after that, already 1-2 Suarez.

One of the most bizarre goals I've seen.

Sporting Kansas City 2-3 Inter Miami was the third highest attended MLS regular season game in leagues history at 72.610. With probably highest revenue ever garnering over 10M$ in one game. Shocked

Messi has done it all, but the next thing he's gonna pull is to make "soccer" the sport in USA.

Inter Miami back at the lead after beating Nashville 3-1. Messi had first penalty shot since the WC final almost 1,5 years ago. Laughing

Messi becomes the first MLS player in history to record multiple goal contributions in 5 consecutive games. Leading everything despite playing only 6 and half games.

He really took a relegation team to #1 and CR cant take a 2nd place team to #1 hmm

Cronaldo was finished many years ago, Messi is still the best player in the world when fit.

by Arquitecto Mon Apr 29, 2024 11:04 am

The absolute lack of quality in this dire league when a beyond finished Suarez and Premier League flop in Benteke are that high in the rankings.

by McLewis Mon Apr 29, 2024 4:56 pm

I used to think MLS was the Need for Speed to Europe's Gran Turismo, but I've pulled back on that thought.

The league entertained me immensely back when I watched it. I don't watch anymore as it's become more and more corporatized, but I do watch the goal highlights from time to time. Never disappoints when it comes to bangers. Same with the USL Championship (Division 2 in US soccer).

I think people have gotten too wrapped up in "quality" (whatever that means these days) when it comes to this sport. Just sit back and enjoy the show and if you can't, watch something else.
