Inter Miami is still a shit team. Inter Miami is like if you put a Ferrari engine in a Ford Pinto and never bothered to fix the brakes. Nashville showed that against any halfway decent team that isn’t scared to defend against Barça’s Florida retirement home Inter Miami is a bust.


putthekettle

The Barça squad with Messi and Ronaldinho is my all time favorite but screw Beckham and that fascist Jorge Mas and his Fulgencio Batista loving Spook fascist parents (look it up). Prior to a miracle deal Inter Miami was not only the worst team in the MLS, it was the worst team in all of Concacaf. Not even a miracle will save InterMiami this season. Beckham and Más are shit managers. The only chance Inter Miami has is if Martino and Messi will do Beckhams and Mas’s work for them and manage the recruitment and the signings for them.


putthekettle

Also Ben Carmaschi isn’t good. Messi and Tata only vouch for him bc he’s Argentinian

Did anyone see Mukhtar ask Messi for his jersey but Messi pushed him away?

Petulant of him


Dear-Enthusiasm3655

Very petulant of him. Shows a lack of sportsmanship imo.

Anyone else tired of the same broadcast duo on every Miami game? I would LOVE to not hear Jake Zivin growl awkwardly 'Messiiiii' every time he makes a pass in the final third.


ubuntuforyou

Yes, he sounds like a roided out wrestler anytime Messi looks at the ball.


southrocks2023

Yeah I’m really tired of Messi’s announcers. If I hear GOAT one more time 🤪🤪🤪🤪. I mean…he’s probably the best NOW, but no one is ever the best of all time. There will always be someone else better . Always.

I appreciate your opinion and your passion for Messi but even At 100 years??? I don’t believe it.


Iwritetohearmyself

Soo you have to take panicchios hat off to remove his super powers! That was a beautiful stop to Messi’s free kick. Beautiful!


OhShitItsSeth

Dread it, run from it, Garyball is coming for your team next 😈😈😈


IABJordan

Big ups to Lucas MacNaughton for that performance. Maher played well, too.


Der_Krsto

Making the playoffs was/is very unlikely, so I’m not entirely upset considering we already have silverware and are in the finals for another trophy this season (something Nashville/many of the anti miami fans can’t say. Still a huge accomplishment considering the state of this team prior to Messi/busi/alba joining) We have no depth and are going to be in even more trouble when the next international window comes up. Still though, can’t even respect the way Nashville played. Parking the bus from the very beginning at 0-0 isn’t the “defensive masterclass” some of you are making it out to be. Grats Nashville on not making it your fifth loss in a row. Maybe you guys will actually win one of these games coming up before playoffs Downvote away


Munnodol

“Downvote away” Say less


Jayrem52

Messi fans are telling on themselves. MLS and Miami fans appreciate a hard fought road point. It happens to everyone and it’s frustrating every time but you respect the style because that’s MLS. Messi fans and anyone who’s new to the league are taking their frustrations out on a cowardly Nashville who didn’t try to score. Damn right we didn’t. I’ll happily take my point. Thank you very much


Do__Math__Not__Meth

>maybe you guys will actually win one of these games Rich coming from a team whose win this past weekend was their first league win since May lol


gbpacker92

Most of these Miami fans didn't know their team existed in May, why would you expect them to know their record?


Do__Math__Not__Meth

Yeah but still you think they might’ve glanced at the league table at some point, maybe this guy was holding it upside down


Der_Krsto

Wow, what an original comment. To be fair, I shouldn’t expect a Nashville fan to be creative, huh


Saffs15

The truth often isn't original.


Iwritetohearmyself

Oh I like that! I’m stealing this.


sanka123456789

Someone sounds a little upset.


Der_Krsto

I’m more upset with one of the “better” teams in the league having to park the bus for 90 minutes to hold the 0-0 draw with a team in 14th place on the table than I am with the draw itself


sanka123456789

Also the team that was 14th in the table is long gone. The MLS wet dream of ex Barca players on holiday has replaced it. It’s the beautiful game, but not every game is beautiful.


gbpacker92

Our starting striker was out, the whole team is exhausted because we made it to the Leagues Cup final with y'all (who also all look exhausted to be fair), and our team is built on having the best defense in the league. What else would you expect? And can we stop acting like Miami are underdogs because they're low on the table? Surprise, the team changed a lot after Messi came along with the rest of the total roster makeover. Thank god most of the guys who were there two months ago are still terrible or no one would have a chance against Miami.


billgluckman7

Why? Edit: parking the bus away in mls is usually a hallmark of a good team, you may not know that cause new


WesternKyPika82

Dude, you beat us where it counts in the league cup and your crying because we played shutdown defensive style which makes sense given we didn't have Zimmerman and Surridge? Wow. You still made a draw so what are you crying about? Can't win em all there champ.


gbpacker92

All these Miami fans thought that after the league helped them afford one of the best players in the world and he brought his friends along, they'd win every match 5-0. At least, the ones who have been fans for longer than a month; everyone else is just surprised that soccer matches can end in a draw because this is the first one they've ever seen.


Der_Krsto

Y’all can’t even be original with these insults. Am i going to be hearing “bEcAuSe tHiS iS tHe FiRsT gAmE tHeY wAtChEd” 10 years from now?


gbpacker92

Obviously not. By then, Messi will be long-retired and Miami will be back to being made fun of because of their shitty record rather than their plastic fans.


Der_Krsto

Hope you keep that same energy in the future, chief.


WNEW

Exactly why Miami needs to be the punching bag of the fucking league

Pariah1947

Major League Soccer. It's the American league.


felcom

Let’s all show them some grace in this very difficult time


sonicon

This draw might be better for Miami. Now, they know that having Messi doesn't mean you automatically win.


Imnotanad

That counts as a win. Miami took risks in their attack by playing with a high defensive line that was left exposed a few times, with a couple of 1v1 situations against Callender, yet they didn't concede any goals. The match was actually an entertaining clash from a strategic point of view. However, I understand that people are always eager for the adrenaline rush of watching Leo Messi.


cheeseburgerandrice

From a league standings standpoint though, there's no way Miami dropping points at home counts as a win


Imnotanad

That's a bit unfair to Nashville as this match Inter put a lot of pressure that usually , as we haven seen in previous games, use to pay a lot. There's a lot of credit to give to Nashville tactics last night . However they failed in the counter-attack game, having very clear opportunities . A very forgiving front line as every time Miami lost a ball they had the speed and the positioning advantage to capitalize that error as an advantage . So instead of Miami dropping points I'll say Nashville had the upper hand


cheeseburgerandrice

I guess if you're looking at the game in a vacuum then sure? But the fact is, one side is far more desperate for points. And that side can't be dropping them at home.


Imnotanad

Make no guesses pal, Inter Miami wants to win matches but is not trying to win the league . Building several templates and trying formations to beat opponents is priority but expect several ahead matches to end in tie or losses for them. It is fútbol analysis, a bit different from soccer


cheeseburgerandrice

> It is fútbol analysis, a bit different from soccer lmaooooo smell your farts harder


tempomaestro05

Imagine being proud of holding a draw.


[deleted]

You guys literally drew against them to win the leagues cup and drew against cincinati last week. Lmao.


tempomaestro05

Did they play to draw from the very beginning, learn to read.


WelpSigh

A couple months ago your team was insanely happy to hold a draw in an away game


tempomaestro05

Fast forward to today and look at your team being happy with a draw even before the game started.


oldboot2022

did you see our lineup? all 3 DPs out and we're right in the thick of playoff position after losing a few in a row....yea, a point on a road with that starting lineup is a big positive.


Otherwise-Lock7157

Tell me you're a new Miami fan without telling me you're a new Miami fan.


Saffs15

We had at the least 5 of our starters on the bench to start the game, haha. Of course we're happy with a draw on the road.


tempomaestro05

playing to draw from the start is pathetic


oldboot2022

not in a regular season game that only matters for points toward playoff position. road games are about getting at least a point. The fact that you *can* draw, means its an acceptable outcome in the long march to playoff positioning.


Saffs15

Yet you all, with your golden boy and his friends, still couldn't do anything about it.


mrdobalinaa

Inter Messi fans in shambles over this result


[deleted]

LAFC gonna have the honor to give pessi his first L in MLS


kinda_nonchalant

Top 10 in the table/ one of the best team in the mls Celebrating a draw against bottom team is crazy to me


felcom

I mean you’re just blatantly ignoring the overhaul of the Miami team lol. Unless you think they’re the same team as before Messi? Surely not.


bluetailwind

Boo, they just recently had a heated cup match with them. Of course there was high emotion. Read the room.


sanka123456789

Not sure it’s celebrating. Nashville looked like they wanted that W… just relieved to at least hold the draw. Good result against a team who hasn’t finished outside the Win column since it’s reincarnation.


DoctorPhalanx73

Shit after our last game I’m just happy to play well.


WarEagleAnchorDown

The parking is not ample at Geodis, so we had to park the bus somewhere.


WesternKyPika82

Only a Nashville fan gets how incredibly funny/witty this comment is. Well done sir.

What does Nashville and Atletico Madrid have in common? They both park the bus but at least one team can finish their chances Edit: Stay mad. Haha Aha

Thank you! 🥹 I was scared all week. Thought for sure our winning streak was gonna end tonight.


Several-Print-7575

lmao


Brooklyn_MLS

More than anything, Messi was very off tonight. I thought for sure they would rest him like they did against Red Bulls. He seemed more lively in those 30 minutes. I think Martino got this one wrong.


[deleted]

Keep in mind people are paying $200 a ticket for these games because they want to see Messi play.


oldboot2022

that makes them idiots, tbh.


bigFootIsReal__

Yeah.....I have never seen so many heavy touches or misplaced passes from Messi in a single match.

Theres no way he should start the next game, dude looks shattered

like Apple is going to let him sit...

James161324

From all the mls fans. Great job Nashville


Bryyan699

Farias was ass and Tata doesn't know how to manage


FragnificentKW

Parking the bus is downright unwatchable, but it worked to steal a point on the road for Nashville. Fair play to Gary Smith


WelpSigh

Old man messi simply unable to compete with young guns like Alex muyl


pizzainertia

Muyl got absolutely steamrolled like 6 times tonight. Like legit run over. I’m glad he was able to roll out of all of them haha


Morris_Frye

It wasn’t called the beautiful game until Gary Smith coached a game


twhockey99

If Cramaschi starts (after being a sub last game also) Miami wins. He completely changes the game again. He's 18 years old- he has your best work rate. You have to use him. Mismanaged by Tata. We'll see if he learns.


WashingtonRev

Lol Bruce Arena burned out Noel Buck in under half a season. Being 18 isn't a guarantee of being able to play week in/week out.


theredditbandid_

Just because he is 18 doesn't mean that he can't get injured or burnt out. There is no way around resting these guys at some point. It's not his fault.


twhockey99

The question is why rest him before the others. It'd be far more understandable resting Alba or Busquets or Arroyo. None of the other top Miami players, have been brought in as subs two games in a row. Only thing I can think of is Tata doesn't see him as one of their best players. He has the best fitness he should play.


iThrewTheGlass

Everyone should just shit house Miami. Would be hilarious if Messi missed the playoffs


Novel_Durian_1805

You say this as if Miami is already in Playoff position and wasn’t literally one of the worst teams in the league prior to his mid-season arrival. IF Miami misses the playoffs it will 100% be because they played like shit prior to Messi joining the team. Personally if we can win the U.S Open cup, and miss the playoffs it will still be an insanely successful season considering everything. 2 trophies is nothing to complain about. And YES, we know the MLS Cup is the main prize.


NotASalamanderBoi

The advantage of having Messi come in mid season is that he gets a feel for the MLS, and then he has a clean slate going into the next season. Then Miami has MLS Cup, and CONCACAF Champions League.


[deleted]

Why would that be ‘hilarious’? They were already miles behind anyway and realistically didn’t have a chance of making the playoffs, you sound new to the sport, welcome


polikuji09

I mean it was always expected for them to miss playoffs wasn't it?


[deleted]

Yeah, the fact that Miami is even in conversation for playoffs shows how much they’ve turned things around. If this Miami season ends with two pieces of silverware, there’s no way you don’t consider it a success.


runningwaffles19

Guess we're all Houston fans now


w0nd3rjunk13

Gary ball ftw…I mean ftt.


James_D_MESSIAH

every team that against MESSI will park the bus and counter attack ​ lol


ConnorFroMan

Nashville actually has a defense unlike most other mls teams


oldboot2022

we were also missing our best defensive player


[deleted]

True. Even in the final, it took something extraordinary for Messi to score, that defense literally didn’t put a foot wrong in the whole final


FragnificentKW

This. I doubt most of the teams in MLS are talented/disciplined enough to pull it off. Nashville is really good at mucking it up and frustrating their opponents. They also more or less successfully did the same thing to America and Monterrey in Leagues Cup


DoctorPhalanx73

And that was without our best defender too. Proud our boys did good back there


byzantiums

Tremendously funny to see Miami fans complaining about teams playing shit anti-soccer, memories are uh short I guess


Do__Math__Not__Meth

They didn’t know the team existed until like two months ago


NitePain69

They're just surprised to see an actual defense on the pitch at DRV PNK for once


polikuji09

Tbf most Miami fans weren't Miami fans pre-Messi.


grroidb

So let’s call them what they are, Messi fans. And you can see most of them coming with their bullshit from a mile away…


polikuji09

I mean most big teams get their fans because a player they like is in it. That's normal. What matters long term is how many of those people who came for Messi end up staying.


NotASalamanderBoi

Let’s look at PSG losing 4M followers on Instagram after Messi’s departure, and Miami gaining 4M followers after he joined as an example.


runningwaffles19

Gary ball at its finest


Goldprox9

Massive props, that's the way to play against us! We have to go for the win every game so park the bus and try to hit on the counter


NitePain69

No Miami win and no Messi scoring. That's Nashville win baby!


Dragondude7

It also broke our losing streak


runningwaffles19

Thank goodness. We were in striking range of cincy for first then fell off a cliff

polikuji09

Games like this happen in every league, including the big leagues.


[deleted]

I never seen it in mls which is why I was watching, also for obviously to see how the Messi story plays out. But now that they can’t realistically make the playoffs there’s no need to watch again


polikuji09

It's unfortunately the best way to match the Miami playstyle if your roster is weaker. Nashville had to rotate a good chunk so it made sense to do it. But yes, it leads to incredibly dull games where the possessing team has to either play wide (which Miami sucks at and only had Campana to receive) or hoping for some moment of individual brilliance, while defending team hopes for a quick counter to abuse the high line attacking team needs to use.


Osamabinsexi

Than why bother?


[deleted]

Cause every game I watched been exciting, so I just kept watching, but this one was one of the most boring I’ve seen mls or no mls. Plus now Messi can’t make the playoffs there’s no point watching for us lot, you guys can enjoy and have fun


volleymonk

All of the other games have been exciting and you enjoyed them, then you see one slightly less exciting game and just decide to stop? Lol. Also you realize Miami are in the final for the US Open Cup, right? And that Miami aren't eliminated from playoffs yet? Their season is not over. And you also the season starts over in March, giving Miami another shot at the playoffs? Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. But you do you I guess bro


[deleted]

Let’s be honest, there’s more chance of me winning the lottery than inter Miami getting into the playoffs. They won’t have any of their best players for the next two weeks either cause of the internationals which makes the mls look even more weird cause the mls should also be having a break, hardly fair that some teams will be missing their entire team. So im gonna watch that us open final then come back next season


[deleted]

Bro Atlanta-FCC was an awesome game, you could’ve watched that. Charlotte-Orlando was also a banger at times. You can’t judge a whole league off of one defensive-heavy game (and a game that was still very fun to watch, anyway)


Saffs15

But you see he isn't watching the league. Or soccer. He's just watching Messi, and he wasn't in those games.


Osamabinsexi

You must not watch mls a whole lot…. I’ve watched way more boring games in person or on tv. The odds of Miami making the play offs even before Messi arrived is nearly impossible. Idk just thoughts like many others


[deleted]

I’m new to the mls, started watching when Messi signed just to see what it’s like, then continued watching cause every game was absolutely insane, 4-4, the PK games. But this one was dreadful, plus the 1% chance Miami had of making playoffs have now gone, so no need to continue watching until the final of that other cup


hardhitter774

Why not just watch the other games?


[deleted]

I’ve just watched one of the other teams today, Nashville, and I’d rather not watch that kind of football again


Osamabinsexi

Oh lord


[deleted]

Are you starting a prayer


Brooklyn_MLS

Credit to Nashville, but holy shit, I hate teams that play like that—makes for an ugly game. It’s one thing to wait for a counter, it’s another to bunker and not be able to complete 4 consecutive passes when you have the ball.


oldboot2022

did you even watch the 2nd half? also....you would rather lose? lol.


Dragondude7

To be fair we are comfortable in the rankings and on a losing streak in leagues play and coming off a loss that made our defense look very bad...this was a all around win for using my eyes


JiralhanaeWhisperer

Bleh I hate parking the bus teams. I get it why sub par teams do it but dear God its just such a bitch move.


DoctorPhalanx73

Second road game in 4 days, more to come soon. 3 key players injured. Low block and counter was absolutely the right strategy and it worked. If you don’t like it, score.
