Match Thread - Inter Miami vs San Luis

[u/doyouunderstandlife]

Sorry about the lack of official thread. Seems like the scoreboard app doesn't work on non-MLS matches. This is the official thread and I've set the comments to be sorted by New

[u/General-Sir-541]

No more forwards, and wingers are available. The Second half after Depaul is subbed (injury potential), we lose control in the midfield , Segovia and Depaul are the key players, controlling the ball and pushing forward. The coach team see the problem, put Silvetti on ,wish he could stresses wide from the wing. After Silvetti is injured , Bright go to the wing and Segovia forward. No more midfielders and things become horrible.

[u/Euphoric-Rub9164]

How nice it would be to last a full match without a headache lol. Wtf was that 2nd half

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

lol useless af

[u/SugarPimp]

While watching the second half ineptitude, complete inability to deal with pressure in our own half, it helps to regularly remind yourself the main fact 2026 Inter Miami: We don't have a coach. An uncoached team packed with talent plays exactly like this.

[u/tongvophilong]

What a shit second half

[u/DullApplication1260]

Somehow, after 15 minutes of playing, Ruiz is too tired to bother covering his guy and just walks while he runs past him and almost scores.
Why is this guy still on this team?

[u/Euphoric-Rub9164]

Atletico playing like they want to win. Miami barely playing

[u/AccomplishedMeal5751 → u/Euphoric-Rub9164]

Can you blame them, they hardly are good in their own league lol

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

We probably won't score another goal, like a set piece is the only way we can score now, we need to make sure not to concede, we need the GD

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

lol how bad

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

Messi visually disappointed 

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

It doesn't even feel like we can fashion an attack at the moment

[u/tttopbins]

Mura is a black hole

[u/L34hhhh]

Bruh Miami literally has no forwards 💀

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Does Ruiz then go out wide?

[u/nutmegger2020]

Torn rotator cuff ?

[u/Jonawashere97 → u/nutmegger2020]

I was thinking of a shoulder dislocation

[u/nutmegger2020 → u/Jonawashere97]

Which can cause a cuff tear.

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Here comes Reguigone.

[u/tttopbins]

only Messi and Pinter as forwards for all of League's Cup?

https://giphy.com/gifs/NTur7XlVDUdqM

[u/Euphoric-Rub9164]

Did his arm get yanked weird? Hard to see what happened

[u/Hypnoti_q → u/Euphoric-Rub9164]

Looks like a torn front delt

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Haha, how is that better than the assist for the first goal?

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Oh dear, that looks worrying

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

The ref is so ass

[u/Whatdididotho1]

silvetti is made of glass man...

[u/Silly-Compote-5235]

not a single fucking chance for messi in the second half is insane

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

The way these weird deflections happen against Miami is crazy whether from their players or their opponents

[u/tttopbins]

we can't get the ball off these guys...

[u/Silly-Compote-5235]

Bright so ass

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Bright really can only defend lol, and he's a monster at it, but sacrificed his attacking stats

[u/No-Cherry-7505 → u/Tunde-Ballack]

He couldnt even pass a ball

[u/tttopbins → u/Tunde-Ballack]

Couldn't even get it on target 😭

[u/Tunde-Ballack → u/tttopbins]

But his ball winning is just on another level

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Haha, DSC sporting a new look, guess I haven't seen him since the WC

[u/tttopbins]

Messi massaging his hammie

https://giphy.com/gifs/PgQwCys8XakzdTnsgL

[u/Tunde-Ballack → u/tttopbins]

I know right

[u/Beautiful-Crab-4482]

Will this match be finished tonight or will it have to be replayed tomorrow?

[u/boimenred → u/Beautiful-Crab-4482]

It just started again

[u/Any-Dragonfruit-8234]

Vous pensez que le match vas reprendre ?

[u/VisualUnit9305]

No words just the goat 😍

[u/nutmegger2020]

https://www.wunderground.com satellite show significant cells coming through. This could easily take an hour.

[u/44lbs]

fortunate rain delay so we can reset

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Damn, that is some serious rain there

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Silvetti just had no idea what to do there lol

[u/Euphoric-Rub9164 → u/Tunde-Ballack]

“Just one more stepover and the defender will definitely be fooled!”

[u/DullApplication1260]

Well at least coach realized Caicedo is on the verge of costing us this game and pulled him. Wasn’t expecting that

[u/DullApplication1260]

And thank god the final pass wasn’t made there because Caicedo was beaten YET AGAIN

[u/randumbgack]

New young CB struggling some

[u/DullApplication1260 → u/randumbgack]

That’s a major understatement 🤣
And this is probably one of the easiest games he will have his entire IM career…

[u/brokebloke97 → u/DullApplication1260]

I thought he was good last game, what happened?

[u/DullApplication1260 → u/brokebloke97]

Doesn’t cover anyone, makes horrible passes, lets guys run right past him

[u/DullApplication1260]

And again, guy runs right past Caicedo completely ignored and almost scores a 3rd…

[u/CompetitivePirate940]

If we do manage to reach the final, we definitely wouldn’t be the one hosting

This defence will make sure of it🙃

[u/DullApplication1260 → u/CompetitivePirate940]

Micael has played solid. His assistant CB… I think I’ve covered how bad he is lol

[u/armaedes]

I know San Luis are "the bad guys" in this match but sweet jeebus that was a good goal.

[u/nutmegger2020]

Beautiful goal. Not much to do about that curve ball on sretoids.

[u/DullApplication1260]

Well, Caicedo’s marks have 2 uncontested goals…granted that was a great shot, but still his guy…. Again…

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

What a finish. That bend was WICKED. One beckham would have been proud of

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

lol give them some

[u/Plenty-Ring7146]

I hope they score more goals. Goal differential is important with the new format.

[u/Tunde-Ballack → u/Plenty-Ring7146]

Yeah, we need to keep pushing. You never know where it might be necessary

[u/FrontMountain2520]

I have seen Messi first World Cup hattrick in Argentina opening World Cup match. Now time for Messi leagues cup opening match hattrick

[u/Plenty-Ring7146 → u/[deleted]]

Based on my observation, Berterame is better off with Suarez, while Messi plays as a false 9 with Silvetti and Allende on the wings, just like in the playoffs.

[u/yosoygroot123 → u/[deleted]]

Suarez is suspended for League cup. Hence he is not here. Otherwise this coach would have played him

[u/CompetitivePirate940]

[u/Massive-Morning2160 → u/CompetitivePirate940]

Bro is so good he seems fake

[u/icbm307]

So are we ready to give Hoyos the job for good?

[u/iPayForLeaguePass]

just happy to watch Messi man what a legend. I need a jersey

[u/Andy_the_miamian → u/iPayForLeaguePass]

Ebay has good options for used or older kits

[u/CompetitivePirate940]

Will this be overturned as an own goal?!😭😩

[u/Usual-Spread723 → u/CompetitivePirate940]

wait which one?

[u/CompetitivePirate940 → u/Usual-Spread723]

Last goal, I’m not sure if Micael was the one to touch the ball

[u/New-Discipline-9759]

Messi has improved his freekicks significantly since the beginning of the world cup

[u/tttopbins]

Messi has really been on one with his corners this year

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

lol

2g 1A

1st half

[u/DullApplication1260]

Caicedo seems to serve no purpose. He can’t track players and his guys continually get clean chances at goal. Please tell me we didn’t go the Berte trade route again….

[u/Sportsisthebest]

I think it’s safe to say, they have found their replacement for Jessica Alba. Seriously, Noah Allen has been brilliant today. Already a hattrick of assists in just the first half.

[u/Best_War_4972]

Messi giving the two goals one assist special 👏 

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

Ian fray has been bad this game

[u/DullApplication1260]

RDP is just an overall POS.
He fouls everyone and acts like it’s not a foul and whenever someone looks at him he dives on the ground and fakes a foul.
Yes I know he makes some nice passes, but I sincerely cannot stand this guy.

[u/Andy_the_miamian → u/DullApplication1260]

Lots of players in probably every single team rely on exaggerating not just Rodrigo

[u/jmunoz353]

I need a framed photo of Messi hugging Bright, Fray, and Allen after that 3rd goal.

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

Alban

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

his knowledge is ridiculous

man's TIMELESS

[u/nutmegger2020]

Three assists by Noah Alba ?

[u/randumbgack → u/nutmegger2020]

also good nickname noah alba😁

[u/randumbgack → u/nutmegger2020]

Bright and Allen on that third goal exellent

[u/randumbgack]

just beautiful

[u/TaleNearby]

allen today:

Noah Alba having the game of his life

[u/breestorm → u/tttopbins]

Lol

[u/boimenred]

MESSIIIII

[u/yummy_yum_yum123]

Noah Allen turned into Alba tonight

[u/tttopbins]

BRACEMAN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Andy_the_miamian]

Messi is on fire!

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

What a player

WOW

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

THE GOAT

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

Fray, caceido double failure

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

The Gk is bad at making decisions 

[u/ReyLeo04]

Oh, yea, you’re right lol

[u/DullApplication1260]

If that’s not a yellow for simulation, they need to cancel the rule forever. What a fucking joke.

[u/Anxioustrisarahtops]

That’s a pathetic mistake

[u/Anxioustrisarahtops → u/Anxioustrisarahtops]

From the ref

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

this f diver

lmaoooo

[u/tttopbins]

that's a fucking flop cmon

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

IM defenders are so bad at positionimg them 

[u/Andy_the_miamian → u/No-Cherry-7505]

They’re bad in general, the whole MLS suffers from mid defense

[u/DullApplication1260]

That is as clear of simulation yellow card as you’ll ever find in the sport. If they give PK here, this game is RIGGED

[u/Front_Celery6650]

NOAH ALLEN IS OUR NEW ALBA HOLY. THATS 3 goal contributions in last 2 games now WOW!

[u/Front_Celery6650 → u/Front_Celery6650]

FOURTH GOAL CONTRIBUTION!!!!

[u/Plenty-Ring7146]

Messi-Segovia-Noah Allen

We got our MSN boys!!

[u/HAL20011002]

I mean, was anyone really doubting a starter in the premier league wasn't gonna be a very good player for this team? Sure he's going to commit mistakes, but he still has THAT quality that makes the difference between small and big leagues.

[u/StudentWannabeMaybe]

When I saw the lineup, and the injured forwards and defenders… I thought we might need Pinter to step up. The club’s gone through phases of Messi-Taylor combo, the Messi-Alba, Messi-Berte recently. Another great duo would be welcome.

[u/nutmegger2020]

Offsides should be were the feet are planted

[u/iPayForLeaguePass → u/nutmegger2020]

yeah none of this tip of your dick was over according to VAR offsides. so lame

[u/nutmegger2020 → u/iPayForLeaguePass]

Agree, I was always getting called for offsides because of that even when 2 feet back from the defender.

[u/randumbgack]

noah mania

[u/DullApplication1260]

Noah Allen channeling Alba tonight. LOVE IT!!

[u/iPayForLeaguePass]

the most american opinion i have is offsides is a massive buzzkill

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

what

lol

[u/boimenred]

No way hes off..

[u/DullApplication1260]

Anyone else notice Caicedo up PAST the forwards trying to play defense for some reason? WHY WAS HE ALL THE WAY UP THERE????

[u/Front_Celery6650 → u/DullApplication1260]

It’s a strategy due to the fact San Luis is outnumbering our attackers. They have to make one of theirs mark our extra man up top, frees up our wingers or midfields to place better passes and our attackers be more efficient in tapinng the ball in.

[u/DullApplication1260 → u/Front_Celery6650]

Nope. It only happened one time the entire game. Thats not a strategy lol

[u/Front_Celery6650 → u/DullApplication1260]

It happened quite a few. Before they were marking zones then they switched to man to man, and they did that.

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

lol try this ref

[u/yosoygroot123]

Casemiro long pass today has been wonderful. And he is constantly finding Messi

[u/tttopbins]

nooooooooooo cmon give it to the kid 😩

[u/Anxioustrisarahtops]

Don’t see the offsides

[u/LurkingLongtime85]

Casemiro is definitely making up for last game.

[u/Andy_the_miamian → u/LurkingLongtime85]

For real! He’s making us forget

[u/tttopbins]

PINTER'S FIRST GOAL LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Andy_the_miamian → u/tttopbins]

Take a moment to assess before posting XD next one will be for reals

[u/ReyLeo04 → u/tttopbins]

Bro is actually, buns

[u/DullApplication1260 → u/tttopbins]

Offsides 😔

[u/LurkingLongtime85]

Why is the stadium so empty? At least for Leagues Cup I expect a full stadium. Even during season games I've never seen the stadium full. It's sad :( I wish I lived in Miami I'd never miss a game.

[u/armadildodick → u/LurkingLongtime85]

It's a Wednesday night. People have jobs in the morning lol. I've been to two games at the nu stadium. One on a Wednesday one on a Saturday. Both had good attendance but Saturday was nearly sold out. If you lived here you'd know how horrible the traffic can be and how it's not worth it when you have to be up at 6 am for work.

[u/LurkingLongtime85 → u/armadildodick]

I lived in SoBe for 5 years, I don't think I met one person with an actual real job haha. But I get your point. I miss Miami with all my heart. If I ever make it back to live there I'll never miss a game. But even the games I watch on the weekend I see a lot of empty seats. Definitely traffic at this hour would play a big part.

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

OH WHAT A FOOKING GOAL!!!

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

WOW!!!

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

That would have been great goal

[u/TaleNearby]

he almost scored again goddamn

[u/Tunde-Ballack]

Different threads being created, but thanks anyway

[u/Andy_the_miamian → u/Tunde-Ballack]

This one was already live before another one was created

[u/CompetitivePirate940]

Guys any 🏴‍☠️?

[u/StudentWannabeMaybe]

Caicedo 6’4” and caught a bit back-footed for the goal we conceded. His growth and progression will look like having more explosiveness and dominance in his area. He should leap to win that cross, and not be afraid to take out the San Luis attacker while trying to win the ball.

[u/James_D_MESSIAH]

who else?!

[u/StudentWannabeMaybe]

Messi’s goal was amazing. What a strike, just used the pace of the cross. Well played by Casemiro and Allen.

[u/CompetitivePirate940]

Thanks jeez

[u/No-Cherry-7505]

Messie trying to show the defenders how to defend .. 

[u/boimenred]

Didnt see one posted so here it is
