There can be zero question over the value of MLS Season Pass on Apple TV now. Lionel Messi's arrival at Inter Miami turned the streaming service into the hottest thing since the first guy to open a sandwich shop, and it certainly doesn't hurt when you also get to see Sergio Busquets apply tennis ball-like spin to his entry passes in 1080p. Oh, Jordi Alba's here too.
So when does Messi play again? Messi next match for Miami is part of a string of fixtures coming in hot for the Herons as they fight on three fronts: Leagues Cup, U.S. Open Cup and MLS.
Nashville SC defeated Club América 2-2 (6-5 on penalty kicks) Wednesday night in the Leagues Cup to advance to the quarterfinals. The result has become highly controversial with América/Mexico fans calling it a robbery.
The biggest talking point came in the penalty shootout when it initially looked like América goalkeeper Luis Malagón had won his side the game when he denied Jack Maher.
David Beckham's reaction to Lionel Messi's late-game free kick against FC Dallas is pure joy.
It came in the 85th minute of Inter Miami's game versus FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup as his side needed an equalizer.
Here's the free kick in case you missed it.
HE DID IT AGAIN.
Lionel Messi added another dramatic free kick goal to his Inter Miami highlight reel as his side defeated FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup Round of 16 with a scoreline of 5-3 on penalties after drawing 4-4 after 90 minutes.
This was Messi’s first away game since joining Inter Miami and he didn’t disappoint. The Argentine scored yet another brace to bring his goal tally with Miami up to seven goals in four games.
He has scored three braces in a row.
The San Jose Earthquakes acquired U.S. men's national team forward Matthew Hoppe on a 12-month loan from England's Middlesbrough F.C.
Hoppe, 22, is coming off a loan to Scotland's Hibernian F.C. He has also played with Mallorca in Spain and Schalke 04 in Germany.

Inter Miami and Lionel Messi advanced to the Leagues Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday after defeating Orlando City 3-1 at DRV PNK Stadium. Messi scored twice in the victory, but that’s not the big discussion this time.
Some fans are questioning calls from the referee and joking that the tournament is rigged for Messi and Miami.
The two major incidents that raised eyebrows were a soft penalty call in Miami’s favor in the second half and the lack of a foul called against Messi.
Más allá de las teorías "ya denle la Copa" que acusan a la Leagues Cup de estar ayudando a Lionel Messi – acomodándolo para que no juegue en pasto artificial y cobrando dudosos penales – otra conversación que rodea la llegada del argentino al Inter Miami tiene que ver con sus curiosos festejos a la hora de marcar y cuya inspiración claramente proviene del universo Marvel.
Chivas es líder invicto en el Apertura 2023 y en esa posición muchos pensaron que el Rebaño sería una de las cartas fuertes de la Liga MX en la Leagues Cup.
Dos partidos después, sin embargo, no hay como adobar la realidad: Chivas fue un completo y absoluto fracaso. Tanto dentro como fuera del campo de juego.
En lo futbolístico, el cuadro tapatío fue un fantasma de lo que venía mostrando en la competencia local. Tan mal jugó que ni siquiera rasguñó un punto en el torneo.
One of Mexico's biggest stars could be trading Europe for MLS. That is if we believe the rumors swirling about a potential move of Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano from Napoli to LAFC.
Several reports in Mexico and Italy are saying that the winger has accepted an offer coming from LAFC, but now it's time for the American club to agree to terms with Napoli to complete the deal.
