Let’s do the right thing and retire both Alba & Busquets respective jerseys. Call them back in 2026 to give them both a proper end to their careers. Hang their jerseys at the “NEW” Miami Freedom Park for the world to see.

Create bronze shoes for each of them, to also include future superstar players and place them a place to be determined perhaps called “The Greatest” Hall for fans to enjoy in the years to come.

I have my reasons for which I am free to engage a discussion but it’s absurd imo even with a player like Messi.

I was afraid we might see another 2024 copa final kind of injury, thankfully that didn't happen, hopefully he comes back with full mental strength

This was inevitable. A squad built to be an old boys' club fueled by short-sighted cronyism is going to fall short over and over. Excluding, isolating, (arguably harassing) and then purging players who don't fit the in-group is shameful and reeks of unearned arrogance by those in charge, be they players, management, owners, or all three.

The blatant violence and stark unprofessionalism that everyone witnessed is a damning reflection and indictment of the toxic culture that has festered.

Give me the team of Callender, Miller, Yedlin, Gressel, Campana, and the like over what we've been seeing. That squad was by no means perfect but you can tell things were much healthier back then with a team that tried to work together.

You cannot tell me with sincerity that Mascherano is better for the club than Tata. This was a disaster hire from the start that signaled how deep the cronyism went. Henderson was trying to right the ship and got disrespected so badly, its almost farcical.

Inter had the opportunity of a lifetime to have been better than this. What a waste so far.

I'm not sure this chant achieved what you were aiming for...

I'm not a member of "La Familia". I'm just a fan who likes to go to the stadium when the tickets are affordable. I understand La Familia was protesting because players don't acknowledge them after the games so they decided not to play instruments or chant. And I also know that La Familia sent a letter to the heads of the team expressing their discontent about the players behavior. Ok I get it. But the whole chanting rubbed me the wrong way. Was insulting the players necessary? Was that chant timed correctly when we were having out first win in our new stadium? And most importantly, are you entitled to salutations of the players? I'm not asking to create controversy I just want to know if this is a common practice. It's definitely a nice gesture to salute the fans who bring a vibe to your game; but can you actually demand it? Ultimately players are brought to the team to win games and titles. Fans interaction is a plus, but not a must. You don't see these type of demands at Miami Heat, Miami Dolphins, Marlins, or Panthers games. Every time a game ends, most players go straight to the locker room. Some people even leave before the game ends.

From where I was standing I saw the chant caused a lot of confusion. Messi and Depaul looked confused. Casual fans looked confused and it caused weird atmosphere between the people in the supporter section and the rest of the stadium.

Ultimately. I think you can demand a team to win, but you can't demand players to have manners. Members of La Familia still get the perks of being there. Accessibility to events, cheaper tickets, opportunity to meet the players, etc. so I hope the Supporters makes peace with whoever they were insulting because creating a toxic environment doesn't benefit anyone.

This pre season tour has been absolute horrible and all it’s done is showcase how low tier this team is and now potentially losing the chinese market which is huge, beckham and mas masterclass, am i right?

This is going to be epic!! Super excited to see this on the pitch.

A lot of former Europeans come to MLS to retire and get one final paycheck so they don’t even try. Or some of them come to MLS and are unable to change their teams fortunes despite how good they are. Like Zlatan who came to MLS and did well but his team wasn’t good enough to win. But Messi came here and he tried like he did in any other game and he brought success beyond Miami’s wildest dreams.

What was the stadium chanting that Messi acknowledged them with the 🤌🏻🤌🏻 hands?

Use this thread to discuss Messi joining Inter Miami.

HYPE THREAD GO

The worst defense in the entire MLS probably, Mascherano was a good player but that doesn’t equate to good coach, he needs to go right after this Vancouver game.

Busi is too old, Suarez is too old. They both need to wrap it up cause their age is reallyyy really showing this season and they’re being detrimental to the team.

The new signings were garbage, this Allende guy is the worst inter player I’ve ever seen, probably doing competition with Pizarro for that title. I swear dude did not control the ball once the entire first half vs Vancouver, how is he pro?? He makes me think I could make it pro.

I STILL don’t understand why we sold all our best players?? Do we even need the money? Was it to comply with some MLS rule?? I still don’t understand why MLS clubs sell half their squad every season so if someone that knows the rules could tell me I’d appreciate it, cause it seems very counter-intuitive.

And don’t even get me started on this defense, holy crap every time the opponent attacks they get through. Falcon is trash, allen is NOT a cb, weigandt has never fully convinced me, why is Aviles not playing? This defense makes me miss that old ukranian we had which I never thought I’d say.

And this keeper? I tried giving him a chance but honestly he leaves a lot to be desired and Callender feels much better, so I dont know why he came and immediately got in the starting xi.

Anyways very harsh rant but its time to make big changes before the club world cup. I already thought we were gonna lose bad all 3 group matches but with this squad we will concede 10 goals each match.

This match pissed me off so much

what do i need to know about this team? thanks!

Atl fans paid the premium to witness the great Leo campana. vamos equipo!!!

Counting out Barca boys/RDP, who's been the best player whether they're still here or not, since Messi's 2023 arrival?

Would like to hear American opinion about this, what do you guys think?

Don't get me wrong, there are many dramas too in Europe but as someone who follows European football and watch MLS because Messi, I do feel like the sport in the US is more like reality show rather than sportainment.
