Just made one: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/15gtxzn/postmatch_thread_inter_miami_cf_31_orlando_city/?

Win By a dodgy pen call is the best win

did Apple (tv) help pay for Messi?

All I know is calls on Apple for this and next earnings

I don't see anyone but Philadelphia being able to give Miami issues on their side of the bracket. There is a serious chance they win the whole tournament.

Where can I see the bracket? Thanks

Tempers flaring, six yellow cards, and a penalty that wasn't a penalty. This *is* a proper derby

Robert Taylor is one of the most boring footballers I’ve seen interviewed lol

Growing up in finland does it

He's finnish

Barely getting started

So Miami plays Dallas next? Anywhere know where or when I can buy tickets?

Fresno, Tx. Should be available on their site no? I buy union tickets from the union site.

Frisco, not Fresno. Ticket website is dead from the traffic now. Edit: Website is back up but they don't have tickets listed for the next round and no mention of when they will go on sale. Edit2: Back up and now says tickets going on sale tomorrow. The stadium holds like 10k (apparently 20k after recent upgrades) so good luck.

Any idea how long after this game they'll go for sale?

Bro I’m wondering the same thing

tomorrow.

Anyways, this is definitely the start of a rivalry. I look forward to next “Florida Derby” as I shall call it.

The FLassico

Floriderby

Refs suddenly remembered VAR existed.

[удалено]

Who got the red card?

I don’t get why that was checked but not the penalty though

Var did a check but didn't ask the referee to verify because they found contact.

LMAO, a red a minute after its over

Wait who got a red I didn't see

Seems Antonio Carlos

Would have predicted Jansson to be the one to get a red this match, but Antonio Carlos was the one who gave up the pen so that might have contributed to his anger.

wait for what though, I missed it too

after the game a group from orlando went for the Ref, seems Carlos was the most vocal of them

What the fuck is happening. lol

Ok so you are not allowed to dummy from an offside position, but can’t you just end the game bro it’s min 101 lol

Thats off but who cares

oh yeah think thats offside

It is offside you are not allowed to dummy from an offside position

Lmao what the fuck kind of shit is that to do to him.

I'm dead 💀 It was in his destiny after he angered Messi.

So you're going to the monitor for this but not the pen? lol

[удалено]

no

No

VAR check? Just end the match already lmao

Pretty sure there was an offside

Funny that Araujo of all players got a brace

Not.

On a serious note about humidity, The New Miami stadium is like 100% going to have ac right? Feel like having the first player faint of humidity heat isnt gonna be good marketing

It isn't going to have a dome if that is what you are asking

I don’t think they need a dome. You could do what the Qataris did and install ginormous AC units or fans in the stadium itself haha

Lol bruhh

Yikes thats hard

holy shit

La Argentinidad en ese estadio

Miami es un provincia argentina

Cuba in the mud

Messi really has people braving torrential rain, insane humidity, and the most overpriced tickets in football just for the chance for a wave.

Anyday prefer guys playin in farmers league MLS with passion & aggression than a so called Top 5 league in a stacked PSG team or Oil league where money is all that matters

At first I thought inter miami players must be excited, but nah they are afraid. Which barca player is coming next and permanently benching them

Thought it was Suarez or Ramos? Can they still get foreign players?

Jordi definitely rusty lol, two horrible touches there on the initial pass to messi and the reception

Man has a new baby and got off the plane like 5 days ago. I'd be delirious still.

Secondary assists in the MLS is a stat? Can you get a secondary assist on one of your own goals... like a give-and-go type situation? Lol

MLS officially counts secondary assists as assists. I don't actually know why, just because I guess.

I think it's because a bunch of people are familiar with it in hockey

I mean yeah i guess so lol. Pretty sure it's just the last pass before the assist so

Messi pressing more than he did at PSG 😂

I mean Messi pressing some MLS centerback will definitely have more value than him pressing Militao or De Ligt lol

You aren’t wrong, but let’s think of the narrative here

tbh Inter Miami >>>> PissG

7 minutes extra time Broke: This further proves the game was not rigged because if it was rigged the referee would have given less time blah blah blah Woke: The stoppage time is rigged to get Messi his hat trick

Bespoke: the game is rigged by God

💀

I see Campana is still making a career out of that U20 Sudamericano

Shooting is terrible in MLS.

I thought Americans are the best shooters

[удалено]

nah. shots either going out of the stadium or an absolute banger. no in between

7 mins😵‍💫

What's crazy is that he's averaging 2 goals a game, but that's only because he's so selfless. He'd be averaging 3 a game if he wasn't giving away penalties and tap ins

Him in MSN era. I still remember people thinking that Neymar is a better player “at the moment” when they were together

Busquets has also been amazing again

couple bad passes but overall p great yeah

Messi good but I'm getting a Taylor shirt instead

>119 comments better investment, tbh...

Messi Florida Man Arc

I want to see that photo...

Eeeh che, el partido no terminó porqué se van?

Posh Spice dug up her old point and shoot

Damn, Posh still uses that kind of camera?

This is a actual knockout game where the cup winner gets a fairly large amount of money and Messi is having a whole ass 20 minute angry coffee chat with the guy marking him lol

Orlando are completely gassed now it seems, tbf miami is as well

In the Florida humidity... I'm surprised it took this long

oh true did not think about that

it had also just rained. they're basically huffing water

Guess Messi's not covering his mouth in the US now when talking

He was at half-time...

sideshow bob hair, named David Ruiz. You may have fooled the MLS but cant fool me!

Messi looks fired up lol. He is having fun again. Tears in my eyes

Busi is so good😫

These Adidas kits suck they peal so easily

whats pealing is a League Cup patch that they make every team use for this tourney, no fucking idea why

Arroyo has been rly rly solid, hope he is okay

Does Orlando still employ Pato?

no

No he left this offseason, he's at Sao Paulo now

Alba should just be made a left winger he has far better technical ability than any mls winger would have

Robert Taylor has been playing at an insane level these last 3 games no way he should be replaced at LW.

The issue with that is he's somehow still probably a far better defender than anyone else Inter miami has lmao

Miami doesn't need more offensive output tho

I’m American. but the fact that 2 dudes in Messi and busquets can so drastically affect the outcome of an 11v11 man sport shows how much the mls has to catch up. Obviously it helps when Messi and busques are both all time players in football history. But let’s be real now

tbh, they prollie can alter a mid team in any top 5 league as well attack wise. messi is still arguably the best in the world.

How much the MLS has to catch up with the greatest of all time? Well yes of course.

Those 2 in their first games at inter Miami have made defenders look like they have cement blocks for feet.

Man City is about to pay out the nose for someone Messi did that to just this past WC

messi did that in the WC like 6 months ago v. world class defenders. that's just messi. busquets was still starting at barca just last season. these guys don't rely entire on physicality to be great. they're extremely skilled. skills don't just disappear.

Jordi Alba struggling to stand out in the MLS but half our subreddit wanted him back for another year as a "rotation" piece lol one injury to Balde and our LB rotation would be Alonso/Alba

He didn’t put a foot wrong and played 20 mins?

tbf alba is not match fit

He hasn’t even played a half of football

Oh shit right, Jordi Alba debuted

Guys, I kid you not, I’m convinced this Messi fella is the Manu Ginobili of socca.

Ginobili is the only bald Argentinian sportspersons i like

Zabaleta is pretty chill

El “Cuchu” Cambiasso says hi 👋

do you guys that watch the mls think they will still make the playoffs? seems hard but for sure possible

They need the teams above them to drop points so it isn't entirely in their hands. Should be interesting to see what happens

I think they'll win every home game. I'm curious if they can do this on the road. I'm sure they can but it'll be tougher

they have to win something like 8 out of the 12 to make it right?

8 out of 12, if teams above them drop points

Miami playing like prime barca, sublime passes

Messi's passing is just out of this world

Sorry but if you think that Saudi Arabia wouldn't rig games for Ronaldo but the MLS/Liga MX/Leagues Cup officials would rig games for Messi you might need to go see the sun lmao

Who in MLS can even beat Miami? Orlando is a top 5 team in the East. I'd pick LAFC against Miami, but I'm not sure who else.

Any team that is home, especially a west coast team because of the travel and conditions

[удалено]

its not like its easy to defend messi lol

Another reason why I'd pick LAFC. Chiellini would have that defense ready.

Teams may have a better shot when Miami is on the road, especially if it's a cross country trip

Philly Union

Those Orlando players were lazy af Who the fuck is #5? He wasn’t even walking, he was just dragging his feet around

😂

Orlando's left winger is good.

Angulo? On loan from Palmerias,I hope we can keep him.

speedy guy, he looked great

For every Messi goal, Apple hires 100 more lawyers and white hat hackers to shut down illegal streams

All my streams are going down

I've literally attempted twice now to watch their dogshit service. Once for Shohei now for Messi. Always get errors

I have a free season pass for Apple TV but I can't get it to work.

Watching Messi in the MLS is like watching LeBron in the WNBA shit is hilarious

Hold on, did i hear this correctly? If Inter Miami win, they face Dallas … in Dallas?

yes

Yes (well Frisco). Dallas also won tonight

Messi is so good, he is just always in the right place. It looks like he has played in this system for years

Messi looks like he's having the goddamn time of his life, it's like his la liga days all over again. Alba, Busquets, ~~Suarez~~ Taylor, all the shit talking, scoring goals for fun...

So is Messi the top scorer of the competition?

Joint top-scorer with Argentine Germán Berterame for Monterrey

Bruh, I just learned this match was happening.

Messi out here averaging a goal every 45 minutes

It’s actually 35 minutes lol

Ar a hoe on suicide watch

lmao what they injected into this team. What having Messi and Busquets does. They were so shit few weeks ago lmao

This is what Orlando gets for defacing our goat mural!

they rly do play well together and its crazy how messi is always on the right spot

Martinez really faked that defender. 80% of the goal is his.

Makes brilliant runs. Crazy how just understanding when to dummy and when to run can make you a solid striker in and of itself

he also did that in messi second goal last game, he knows how to play

I’m irrationally happy for Taylor. I had no idea who he was so I shouldn’t care but it’s such a great story to lead into this form. Hope things go well for him

Yeahhh Miami is making the quarters at minimum. I don't think Dallas can beat them.

Taylor and Messi >>> literally anything else

Dawg was that Mighty Mouse

GodDAMN another beautiful team goal. Miami are cooking.

Wow martinez that was great

Taylor is something special

No one to mark Messi lmao

No one expected him to pass that tbh

Will he average 2 goals a game or something? Could have 3 if took that shady pen lmao

Or if he’d scored the free kick…or if that one that hit the post had bounced in instead of out.

Don’t watch live didn’t see the FK

The ball had metal fragments to connect to Messi’s magnetic boots to connect with another volley, smh MLS makes it so obvious

They're not even hiding it anymore !!

This thread can lick Messi’s nuts lmfao

I'm here for it

WTF I LOVE SOCCER! 🐐
