I'll have you know that I consider myself the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge-meister.
No one appointed me this position, I wasn't voted into it and I've only just recently thought of the title, but I think about the All-Star Skills Challenge a lot: the contests, the strategies, the techniques and the storied three-event history of the competition.
What’s better than late-night soccer on the Fourth of July? With a few games remaining before the summer break, MLS treated its fans to a midweek smattering of entertaining fixtures for Matchday 23, including one of the league’s great rivalries at one of the nation’s most storied venues.
La llegada de Lionel Messi y Sergio Busquets se ha cobrado una víctima en el Inter Miami: el mexicano Rodolfo Pizarro.
Debido a las estrictas reglas de la MLS, el equipo de Florida necesitaba deshacerse de uno de sus jugadores franquicias o designated players para hacer espacio salarial ante el arribo de ambas figuras internacionales. Y apenas se abrió el mercado de pases de la liga, este miércoles 5 de julio, la cabeza de Pizarro – uno de esos DP – rodó.
So, Lionel Messi is coming to Inter Miami. But when exactly is he coming?
It has been almost a month since the Argentine world champion announced that he would be joining MLS. However, he still hasn't set foot in the United States.
We know he is on vacation, but we're not sure of his exact location.
It was the kind of night you get dressed up for.
A record MLS crowd of 82,110 watched El Tráfico at the Rose Bowl on July 4th, and although the LA Galaxy won the match 2-1, LAFC's Kellyn Acosta won hearts and minds with the greatest custom boots to ever grace a professional pitch.
In front of an MLS-record crowd of 82,110 supporters, Riqui Puig's 73rd-minute goal gave the Los Angeles Galaxy a 2-1 victory over visiting Los Angeles FC on Tuesday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
Largest standalone match attendances in #MLS history:
The summer transfer window is almost here, and we’re about to see some real changes. There’ll be new faces and some returning aces, but they aren’t allowed to take the field just yet. For now, teams are still struggling with players out on international duty in a stretch that can make or break a team’s season.
Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets are joining Inter Miami to compete, not for a holiday, the newly appointed coach of the Major League Soccer (MLS) side Gerardo Martino said.
The 60-year-old coached Messi and Busquets at Barcelona in 2013-14 before managing Argentina from 2014-16.
Record seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi, 36, opted not to renew his contract with Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain and will be reunited with former Barca teammate Busquets, who spent 18 years at Camp Nou.
MLS revealed the 26-player roster for the upcoming All-Star Game against Arsenal, which will be played in Washington D.C. on July 19.
The list includes a World Cup champion, but before you get all excited, that man is not Lionel Messi: Heading the squad is Atlanta United star and Lio's countryman, Thiago Almada.
Since Lionel Messi announced he would be joining Inter Miami, I'm sure many of you have tried to get a hand on an OFFICIAL – caps intentional – jersey with his name and the iconic number 10 on the back.
However, I also know that all of your attempts have failed.
There are no Messi jerseys in Inter Miami's physical stores. Zero. And when you attempted to personalize a shirt with the Argentine's credentials on their website, you most likely had seen the following message: "We are unable to customize this item with the text you have entered. Please try a different entry."
