MLS gonna have to loosen salary structure to afford teams better defenders.

[@obviouspresmaga]

I agree. Honestly, some of those games are hard to watch. Defense is so bad and sort of cheapens the offensive spectacle. I also think it would raise the skill of the entire league offensive wise.

[@SubmachineOP]

The salary cap is great! It keeps all MLS team balanced and prevents it turning into a farmers league. But yeah it should be increased a little

The keeper is really not up to the circumstances but not just him the defense is very bad their best defender is Jordi alba but he's not even a fullback. These things need to be addressed they can't be 100% reliant on Messi.

This Inter miami loss is a blessing in disguise. It shows that local talent can compete with probably the best attack in MLS ( the duo of the MSN trio which terrorized the defenders of Europes big clubs). Secondly the MLS is not rigged for Messi and last but not least, MLS is a competitive league.

[@draza9000]

In 2014 Messi losses World Cup final , two years after he loses two Copa America finals in 2015 and 2016. Somehow football was really "fair" back then (according to clowns). When Messi started winning trophies with Argentina everything became "rigged". He joins Inter Miami and wins League's Cup , with the worst team in the MLS and people call that rigged as well. Most of these clowns are either too young or they just hate him beacuse their idol couldn't match Messi.

[@DBoonful]

Disagree on the assessment of Inter Miami defense -since the inter offense puts no pressure on the opposing teams it creates havoc on the Inter defense. Opposing teams are allowed to move unpressured in the back and midfield which turns Inter games into shootouts where more often their final third quality prevails..... but it also makes them easy to play against and hang in if you have unpressured space to work and counter effectively.

And it's not that we just care about Messi, the league itself is actually interesting and competitive, but it's not possible for most of us to watch many games due to the time zones. I literally had to wake up at 1am/2am/3am to watch Intermiami play, I had no issue because it's Messi and Intermiami... But no way I will be waking up for other games, it's just too much. Great league, great teams, good players, but the timezones, nahhh, too much strain on the body.

[@NegaRenGenX2gay2lift]

The thing is that MLS doesn't need to rely on international fans. They just need to cater to North and South Americans. Yeah I like the J-League but their games are impossible to watch due to time zones

Those that think inter Miami failed this season, doesn't know much about the sport. For the team to get to where they are with their bad defense since the beginning of the season is remarkable.

[@Tadaia]

I'll bet if those players go elsewhere they'll be just fine. Playing at Miami is a high risk career proposition. They get the accolades when the team does well but expectations are hella high, the coach is overrated and they're also covering for older legends who dont defend as much.

While yall are talking that nonsense, Garber is #winning. 1) He got Goldenballs and Miami bedded into the league with superstar power 2) He got the Apple deal 3) He got Messi and company to draw more eyeballs to the league globally (When Messi leaves some will stay, some will go) 4) Garber has worked for 25yrs to grow MLS. You're delusional if you think he's enjoyed watching Messi's retirement crew walk all over his league. There's good reason MLS had this dumb (2 of 3) 1st rd. If Miami progresses he gets at least 2+ Messi matches. If they're knocked out Garber most likely gets 3 playoff matches of Messi. If it were single elimination they'd get 4 matches max... that's IF Miami even made it to the MLS Cup final. 5) Finally, the world got to see one of his biggest clubs, ATL UTD, take down Messi and Company. AUFC is a team that has been struggling for multiple seasons. The league is better with the AUFC fanbase well engaged and the team at least competing at a decent level. 6) Extra added bonus... many disgruntled MLS fans across the continent and globe get to celebrate Miami's takedown IMO the only people truly mad are the lazy af MLS sportswriters and content providers. Much of the doomspeak, negativity and snark since Miami's ousting has come from them. The free ride is over and the soup kitchen is closed this season. They can no longer just name drop-Messi for hits and to meet quota on their articles and podcasts. The thing that has frustrated me the most about Messimania is that MLS media has allowed it to overshadow the rest of the league. Thru the postseason they're actually going to have to do their jobs again and focus on creating content with focus on the other teams and players.
