A la espera de la confirmación oficial-oficial, la llegada de Lionel Messi a la MLS parece estar cocinada. De acuerdo a varios reportes, el argentino descartó un last dance con el Barcelona y una colosal propuesta de $1,2 billones de dólares del fútbol árabe para jugar en el Inter Miami.
FC Cincinnati winger Álvaro Barreal is one of the few who prefers to crush our “cupset” dreams. Fortunately for us, he lessened the blow with a goal so technically brilliant, we’re just glad we got to see it.
We can't believe it either.
LIONEL MESSI IS COMING TO MLS! LIONEL MESSI IS COMING TO MLS! LIONEL MESSI IS COMING TO MLS!
Well, that is if we believe the report of Guillem Balague. Who's that guy? A BBC and CBS collaborator who also happens to be Messi's biographer.
Messi has decided. His destination: Inter Miami

La Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf vuelve a ser mexicana.
Club León derrotó a LAFC, el gran favorito del torneo, en una serie mágica. La Fiera ganó 2-1 en casa y no le temblaron las piernas en la revancha jugada en el BMO Stadium, donde se impuso por 1-0.
El título es el primero de los esmeraldas en la competencia y le retornó a la Liga MX su trono, el cual había perdido en 2022 cuando Seattle Sounders venció a Pumas UNAM.
As we approach the halfway point in the season, destinies become clear. Moments become more important as every point carries increased weight in the race for the postseason. Hosting in the playoffs is great, but winning is better, and many teams have set themselves up for both outcomes after Matchday 17.
Poco a poco, Alan Pulido comienza a sepultar los malos recuerdos de la lesión que no lo dejó jugar en todo 2022 y cambiarlos por sonrisas. Ante Vancouver Whitecaps, el delantero mexicano del Sporting Kansas City marcó su segundo gol en la MLS y su tercero en la temporada 2023.
Pulido abrió la cuenta para SKC y lo hizo con un bello cabezazo.
Julian Gressel recorded the first two-goal game of his MLS career and the host Vancouver Whitecaps became the first team in MLS history to score within the first 30 seconds of each half while recording a 6-2 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night.
Brian White, Ryan Gauld and Sebastian Berhalter each had a goal and assist and Pedro Vite also scored a goal as Vancouver (5-5-5, 20 points) improved to 5-1-2 at home this season.
While most European leagues are reaching their gripping conclusions, MLS is still very much up for grabs with 16 matchdays completed. The table has taken shape, but anything is possible in America’s top flight. From last-minute equalizers to incredible displays of impotence in front of goal, there was something for everyone on Matchday 16.
The rumor mill is bursting with the idea that Inter Miami and Barcelona are concocting a special formula to get and share Lionel Messi for the years to come.
But is this true?
There is no news not saying Lionel Messi's future is the 2023 summer transfer window's biggest telenovela. Despite being in the promotional photos of the PSG 2023-24 home jersey, everybody knows the chances of seeing the Argentine star actually wearing that shirt next season are close to none.
What is form but a spell to be broken? What are records but standards to be rewritten? Comfort and predictability have no home in MLS, especially not during Matchday 15. Across the league, teams and players alike found ways to buck their trends of frustration while others gave frustration a chance.
