Inside Inter Miami: Controversy followed by victory in Vancouver 

Inter has no obligation. Plus I don't think Messi should be playing on artificial turf.

I’m a fan that has no local team and would need to travel hours to a see Miami play and would have to take a chance that they would play( superstars). Miami doesn’t have to say who is playing, you take a chance. Teams should quit jacking the prices up when they come to town. It’s their faults, not Miami’s. They are benefiting from Miami’s stars and taking advantage of their fans( home team) by making them pay more.

Inter has no obligation. Messi and Suarez also have no obligation to play every single match. they need to rest and rotate with other players like any other players around the world. they're not robots. there is no controversy or anything to discuss except for clubs over charging tickets.

1. MLS's main problem is increasing ticket prices when facing Inter Miami. 2. MLS failed to prepare a good schedule taking into consideration flight distances and the distance of the next match. 3. MLS uses an unusual system to determine the MLS champion. So the club only targets a minimum of 7-8th position, the important thing is to pass the next round to become champions. This makes MLS matches uninteresting. 4. The MLS champion should only be determined between the Timus region champion vs. the West region champion. This will make the matches in each region interesting because you have to win the region to have a chance to win MLS.

No team tells their lineup further in advance 😊

Anyone with half a brain could have predicted Messi and Suarez would need a rest and that this game was the most likely one to be the one they skipped. This story is so boring. These are professional athletes, not circus performers. Why are we acting like this is a new concept?

Inter does not have a responsibility to let the other team know who is coming. No 20 hours should be enough!

These MLS teams want to treat INTER MIAMI players like circus animals. I've NEVER seen anything like this.

INTER HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE THEIR LINEUP! NO OTHER TEAM IN THE WORLD DOES😊

I really enjoyed this show you guys are awesome!

It's more than accurate to take the three at home for the last game! They are not some to show...they are players, it was a wise decision to rest them!! Now we look forward..tonight 1.30 AM in ITALY...of course i'll be tuned...it's gonna be the Redondo night!! Greetings from ITALY! thanks for the show

Andre and Michelle thanks as always for your insightful look into Inter Miami. I tried the Matte that you guys talked about with an Argentinian guy from work...its really good!!

Messi can't win because everyone wants him to play in their city.... all the fans will forever moan if he doesn't play in their stadium! People don't even want him to carry his daddy duties and support his son! They moan about it too😢

Remember the victory parade in Buenos Aires after Argentina wins the Cup. So Messi is going to take a few days longer to come back (and maybe take a few days of rest also).

First of all, all this controversy has only one guilty party, THE MLS, the whole football (soccer) all leagues around the world stop during FIFA dates, stop during copa america and stop during the EU Championship. And the reason is simple, clubs will miss their best players so, there are no leagues games. The MLS needs to learn that you can't go against what is normal for the football world if, in the end, you want to prevail and to have your league up there with the best. Now, I am answering your first question. Of course not, you don't ever let the other teams which players are going to be in the field. It's simple you can give the opposition coach a longer time to plan the tactical game. Just remember the last game of the 2022 world cup, De Maria was a player that everyone was thinking he was injured, Di maria not only started the game but he started on the left side of the field instead of the right side, his normal place to play, and that was what kill France on the first 63 minutes of the game. I can give a thousand more reasons but èverybody knows them. You provide the list of players on the last minute your required never before, which happens the same in any other team sport. There is never a warantee when you buy your ticket that you are going to see any particular player, you are warranty to see a game between 2 teams each team have 23 or 26 players depending the competition. And for the Saturday game before copa america training, will be a good idea if Messi dress and seat for the game but be available only if needed. Just to be there, anyway the game is in Florida, Messi even when he was injured, he never missed a game on Chasr Stadion or the former one. I think that is the professional thing to do.

John Paul George and Ringo hahaha 😂 Great show as always and yeah it's a shame this traveling circus can't ever get a day off rotation wise especially on those horrible turfs, no you don't tell they weren't on trip - it's still a competition why give them the edge! Plus critical to rest before Copa America and Olympics etc - also it's regular season not a tourney - always a telanovela in our soccer down here!!! 🤷‍♀️ 💕🧉, Italia : )

team-sports work that way, you buy a ticket to watch 2 teams but no specific players, if you go watch LA Lakers or LA Clippers its not guaranted you'll see Lebron or Davis or kawhi leonard or Paul george

I think the problem is that the other clubs are advertising the games as ? vs Messi when they are actually buying tickets for Inter Miami. Buyer beware and shame on the clubs for jacking the prices up. We travelled to Ft. Lauderdale from New York for a game with the understanding that there was no guarantee that we would see any specific player. Messi is the GOAT but he is here to play soccer and win games not be the circus act.

No obligation whatsoever

Yes play them on Saturday

Messi is a phenomenon that’s what I don’t think it is out of sort to tell people if he is going or not because people are going and spending so much money to see him

MLS is who is to blame for the whole circus around Messi. Not Inter Miami.

Inter Miami should not have to announce starting squad any sooner than the 24 hour before a game regulation.

Tata Martino rested Inter Miami's star players, yet the team still secured a win and remains at the top of the MLS standings. The rest is nonsense.

Inter Miami and Messi are competing to qualify for the playoffs and win MLS. They aren't the Globetrotters. In most other countries, attending a football match doesn't guarantee seeing the star players in the lineup. Perhaps other teams shouldn't raise ticket prices so drastically just because of Messi when they can't guarantee he'll be on the pitch.

Atlanta games they will play for sure

Play the Big 3 very limited or not at all on Saturday.

Not obligated however this should be fixed by MlS as far scheduling and prices

Comparing Taylor Swift with Messi makes no sense. And suggesting that he didn't travel to watch his son play, knowing Messi's commitment with his teams and the game itself, neither. Even more, I'm happy that Inter Miami is concerned in preserving his physical condition, rather than using him in every game posible.

It is not fair because they charge more than double the price because of Messi, and if he is not going to play then you shouldn't charge such high prices!! If they keep the price as previous years, then it is ok.

I think the league is looking the other way to give IM essentially 5 DPs so I think there is some obligation. How much is the question.

Of course they don't have to

I’d ask the players how many minutes they want.

Messi is essentially a league ambassador so I think they should have given as much heads up as possible.

Enter Miami owes nobody anything. Would it be nice if we knew before we bought tickets if they were going to be there sure because everybody else is jacking up the price on those tickets but that’s not Miami’s fault that’s not messy‘s fault and people need to stop blaming them, everyone could see on Wednesday that his knee was a little bit bothering him. He’s also never hidden the fact that country games are top on the list so I don’t know why it surprises anybody that they weren’t there. If I had tickets, would I be sad yes but we have no right to be angry and enter Miami owes nobody anything.

I luv michelle

It's obvious why they didn't go they stayed at home to watch their kids play

Bullshit schedule mis

I could care less about Taylor swift

Why would they tell anyone...specially you hun.. please stop bothering tata with your questions...be a journalist
