Inter Miami and Lionel Messi's latest road trip to Los Angeles brought out all the stars. The game was remarkable not only for the 3-1 victory Miami secured to keep its unbeaten streak with Messi alive, but also for the sheer number of celebrities that turned up to see the GOAT in action.
There can be zero question over the value of MLS Season Pass on Apple TV now. Lionel Messi's arrival at Inter Miami turned the streaming service into the hottest thing since the first guy to open a sandwich shop, and it certainly doesn't hurt when you also get to see Sergio Busquets apply tennis ball-like spin to his entry passes in 1080p. Oh, Jordi Alba's here too.
So when does Messi play again? Messi next match for Miami is part of a string of fixtures coming in hot for the Herons as they fight on three fronts: Leagues Cup, U.S. Open Cup and MLS.
MELBOURNE — A second-half goal by Catalina Usme fired Colombia to a 1-0 win over Jamaica on Tuesday and carried the South Americans to their first Women's World Cup quarterfinal.
The captain's 51st-minute strike sent Colombian fans into delirium at a packed Melbourne Rectangular Stadium and ensured the last American team in the tournament will battle England for a place in the last four.
"We are representing the whole continent of South America," Colombia coach Nelson Abadia told reporters.
South American soccer fans bring an energy and passion to sporting events that doesn’t exist in the United States. I’m trying to think of the best crowds in all of U.S. sports and the closest I can come up with is NFL and college football.
Does anyone remember that one iconic clip of the Penn State white out game where Michigan had to call a timeout on the first play because it was too loud?
Más allá de las teorías "ya denle la Copa" que acusan a la Leagues Cup de estar ayudando a Lionel Messi – acomodándolo para que no juegue en pasto artificial y cobrando dudosos penales – otra conversación que rodea la llegada del argentino al Inter Miami tiene que ver con sus curiosos festejos a la hora de marcar y cuya inspiración claramente proviene del universo Marvel.
The USWNT's 0-0 draw with Portugal was a cry for help. If there's one thing we can say with 100 percent certainty, it's that Vlatko Andonovski's previous call for patience and simply more of the same is entirely without warrant. Recurrent issues have been plaguing the team for almost two years and they aren't working themselves out — there's something wrong with the system.
It's Sunday morning in the United States and every nation at the Women's World Cup has completed at least two matches. Group A, the Group of Life, went ahead and finished their third and final games in the early hours so that makes our Power Rankings a little clearer, but this is how things stand in our eyes with the knockout stages taking shape.

Lionel Messi has not only revolutionized the style of play of Inter Miami but also transformed their boutique-ish DRV PNK Stadium into one of the hottest places in the U.S. to spot celebrities.
In just two games, the parade of elite athletes from other sports, actors and singers who have sat in the venue's VIP boxes to watch the Argentine's talent is just impressive.
Here is a running catalog of A-listers that couldn't resist Messi's magnetism.

The USWNT vs. Netherlands World Cup group stage match on Wednesday night was a fascinating midfield battle that epitomized the old cliché of it being "a game of two halves."
In the opening 45, the Dutch diced the Americans apart with a precision so masterful that it resembled ease. In reality, it's very difficult to turn the USWNT's finely tuned press against themselves, but the Netherlands were a Clockwork Oranje with clever movement, one-touch play and numerical superiority.
Inter Miami are scoring goals. Yes, they have been doing it for a couple of years now, but since Lionel Messi's debut less than a week ago, the rest of the world has taken notice, too.
During this process, fans who are joining the bandwagon have also discovered that the club enjoys celebrating those goals by blasting the DRV PNK Stadium's speaker system with some highly divisive earworms.
I mean, you love them. Or you hate them.
