Inter Miami will have a tough month of June.

Messi to miss up to six games with Inter Miami during Copa América

Lionel Messi is set to miss over four games with Inter Miami in MLS ahead of his participation in the 2024 Copa América with Argentina this summer.

Messi, who will play his seventh edition of the South American tournament in the Albicelestes’ effort to defend the title won in 2021, will play his last match for Miami this Saturday against St. Louis City SC before joining the national team camp in Argentina.

The Crew are taking no chances ahead of their crucial final in Mexico.

The Columbus Crew will be playing against Liga MX’s CF Pachuca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final on Saturday, the final decider of who will be the last CONCACAF team to qualify to next year’s inaugural 2025 Club World Cup. 

No Messi, no party.

Fans in attendance for the Vancouver Whitecaps match against Inter Miami last Saturday, who were most certainly expecting to see Lionel Messi on the pitch at the time of buying their tickets, were not impressed with the Argentine’s ‘unexcused’ absence.

Vancouver fans' reaction to Lionel Messi's absence vs. Whitecaps

Soccer fans in Vancouver were incredibly disappointed on Thursday when it was announced that Inter Miami’s biggest stars aren’t making the trip to Canada for Saturday’s game.

Despite all three being healthy and playing in Inter Miami’s previous game vs. D.C. United, the trio will hang back home.

Tickets prices skyrocketed for what was expected to be a record 50,000+ attendance at BC Place. The Whitecaps released a statement sharing their disappointment with fans and offering 50% off food and drinks.

The Emanuel Reynoso video of him with stacks of cash and a gunman is the latest chapter in his bizarre time with Minnesota United. His spell with the MLS side is likely to come to an end soon as he’s expected to transfer to Liga MX’s Club Tijuana.

Reynoso has caused problems for opposing defenders with 56 goal contributions in 101 appearances with Minnesota since joining in 2020. He’s caused as much trouble off the field as well with several controversies and suspensions.

The latest Emanuel Reynoso video is just another addition to the collection.

The U.S. men’s national team released their official roster for their pair of friendlies in June.

Ahead of what will be two tough matches against CONMEBOL powerhouses Colombia and Brazil, the squad led by Gregg Berhalter has announced the 27 players that will participate in the USMNT’s last training camp before the Copa América.
