Inter Messi is already in the CCL via their Leagues Cup win right? Seems a huge indictment on MLS that they're prioritizing a US Open Cup over making the playoffs

Or has to do with fact that they are buried in the standings

Winning one game versus essentially having to be flawless and get help along the way. You do the math

loaded midweek schedule

big lineup news i guess is that messi back in the starting lineup vs toronto (on tsn). saw some talk that maybe they wouldn't bother bc tfc is so lol, but you can't keep him out. man just loves to play

It’s home so makes sense to give the home fans Messi, then he rests on Sunday possibly with Open Cup final next Wednesday

messi playing centrally rn up against cb michael pirlo, got him in the spin cycle. nothing to show for it yet, but the warning signs are certainly there


2 reds limping off injured already, ouch
(nobody wants to work anymore amirite)

edit: now jordi alba off, wtf

alright, guess i'm done here lol


also didn't realize it was the sub who got subbed 2nd

in other news, cbus' cucho hernandez has a 1st half hattrick

Inter Messi now 5 back of DC for the last playoff spot, but with 2 games in hand. Tough fixture this Sunday though as they travel to 2nd place Orlando and will probably have an eye looking ahead to the US Open Cup Final mid-week. If they lose the Orlando match, then it could get dicey. Maybe Messi will play 30-40 minutes again.

sharp doing sharp things

leo messi 1.09
billy sharp 1.82


sources confirm, b sharp goat oat

billy sharp would have scored 100 goals in a MLS season in his prime!

62k fans at soldier field in chicago to watch messi not play lol

Wow Messi couldn't handle the pressure of the MLS playoff deciding stretch and is faking an injury.

confirmed scared of canada's team, the playoff-bound vancouver whitecaps

They just annihilated the West leaders. He don't want any of that smoke.

the funny thing is this was a big match in terms of the Fire making the playoffs (and they won). Having a big crowd had to help them play better. but pretty much no one in Chicago cares about that apparently if management has to issue refunds to "fans" after winning lol.

I am so glad Miami is out. Ive grown tired of all the overhyped bs. I was a huge fanboi of Messi but no longer.

Last night to see him bitch and moan and run his mouth against someone he fouled shows his nature when he loses. Perhaps he needed a little humbling. He is hands down the goat, does he also need to win every thing in mls in only a few games?

This very much reminds me in 96 at Arrowhead when playing the Metrostars and we were three rows back and their legend got brutally tackled and was on the ground writhing in pain. My buddy yelled “Welcome to the MLS, RAMOS!” in his funny sarcastic voice. Good times. Bye Messi, better luck next year. Its good to have a villan in the league

Yah, I was just thinking too that this Messi situation reminds me of Tab Ramos.

mls salary info released today


top 2023 earners:

* - messi's getting a lot more on top of his salary, so that's just a portion of it. doubt anyone knows the full amount other than his accountant (lolol)

he played in 5 league games


top all-time:

gods bless toronto, they've spent a shitload of money. bradley being the all-time leader is funny and fitting and etc


honestly pathetic for nyrb especially to be such a poverty franchise. what the hell is going on there anyway, unless they're loaning in prospects from the rb network

doesn't seem like toronto has been getting much bang for their buck the last few years

just saw he retired. I didn't realize he was still playing.

Fun fact: There are only 5 teams already eliminated from playoff contention and the 3 highest spending teams are all in that group.

here are your 2023 MLS playoffs participants

opening wild card matches this wednesday:

Charlotte at NYRB
San Jose at SKC

Sporting hype!

Union won tonight but Game 2 isn’t until Nov 8?

This league is the nut low

Doesn’t really matter, I don’t watch the games anymore anyhow as I’m not paying for Apple pass
