      MLS needs to change the scheduling of the games like the rest of the world. Introduce goal line technology 1st.
      One of the goals Miami conceded wasn’t even a goal, clearly on the line and didn’t cross. The other goal the (Greek player) was clearly offside when he got the pass and scored and they didn’t even review it.

      mostlikely just fatigue or something. it doesnt make any sense that messi even show up in bolivia. in the bench. if he had somekind of serious injury.
      who make the decision of player health? ofc team doctor. if he allowed then he is healthy. but whoever make the decision. bolivia and atalanta arent a match for for messi. he better ready for us open cup final.
      hope he will win.

      Maybe he is late 30’s , just been away playing for Argentina , and maybe a bit tired. It’s not an important game. I would speculate they already had it plannned weeks ago messi was not playing in this game

      All I can say this season just play him when it's needed, if it's possible for play off then cool n fine. If not start the next season with some solid defence. Their defendiyis horrible

      As a white person, listening to all of the soccer people try to enunciate the names of players, you can hear them in love with the sound of their own voice

      Ale always says it straight and true đŸ˜‚â€
      If you recall 5 yrs ago, while Messi was still in Barca and Xavi was in Qatar, Xavi said: Messi can play even at age of 38-39 BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO PROTECT HIMSELF…
      that is exactly what's going on, Messi is 36 and he must treat a minor injury like a major one. As we have seen him through the recent years that he doesn't get involved with players as much. Are his dribbling abilities fading away? I think not. He just doesn't want the players foul him as they did before because he's 36 now a bad injury can be the end of his career. He prefers to focus on play making and shining in the right moment. That's how he protects himself.

      The man's 36. At this point of a professional footballers career, you always deal with injuries. Messi is at a position where he can pick which games to play. And he deserves that. Playing in the high altitude of La Paz, on a dry and hard pitch and on turf in Atlanta is just not a good idea at this point.

      What’s the matter with you ,the man needs rest after an intense year if he is not injured as well
      In a minute, he will hang up the boots and then what people will say???
      Most likely he will still play but not sure how long

      Why should Messi risk injury? He has a hammy, probably a minor one that he is resting. Inter Miami sure will go to the playoffs â€ïžâ€đŸ‘đŸ‘

      Ale is the best contributor to this program, Craig is a close 2nd but Craig is too surley, Ale always gives it to me straight, like a pear cider made with 100% pears.

      The defense is so poor in this league its obvious messi can 90 goals again in this league😂. He should have returned to barca would have been more competitive.
