Inside Inter Miami: Season teeters on brink of colossal failure

[@oneworldonegoal17]

Great show as always...the drama - always a telanovela in South Fla soccer haha - Vamos!!!!! 🎉 ❤ 👏, Italia : )

[@michellekaufman3294]

Hahaha! Never boring, that's for sure! Thanks for being a loyal fan of the show.

​@@michellekaufman3294 Thanks Michelle you guys are pure entertainment and always the most intellectual soccer analysts, as well! #DiegoSerna17 wants to say hi - I DM ed you on Twitter his number 😘

[@jgsalinassmamx2918]

Of course, like any sport, soccer (fútbol) has its unique dynamics - but there are a couple of fundamentals: 1. Championships depend on executing very good defense 2. You must put the ball in the back of the net. Team Miami needs to raise its level of execution defensively. If Messi is not on his back heels due to defensive failure, then they should go through to the next round. Saludos de México!

[@michellekaufman3294]

Hola, Mexico! Gracias por las notas.

[@pithius2191]

Miami could have blown Atlanta out of the water the first game, save a miraculous game for Guzan. Away on Turf with no Busi and Bright second game. Third game at home... they will run Atlanta off the park.

[@michellekaufman3294]

It should be a good game, for sure. Enjoy! And thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@chamberlainwonder369]

Yes, I know that's right cause the whole state of Atlanta full the stadium just to boost the team to win and they did, so inter Miami needs to do the same thing too.

[@michellekaufman3294]

They definitely should get a full house at Chase Stadium on Saturday. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@michaeldonnelly]

Don’t worry we’ll win. Playing at home is a huge favor on our side. But without Busi that’s a problem. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 Look at Neymar injury stats since 2014. It’s horrible. Missed butt loads of games. No thanks!!!

[@michellekaufman3294]

Thanks for tuning in. Busi and Bright are both key players.

[@alessiofavilli1998]

You like a season with one game that is playoffs...you take that, the best team can lose in one game, even Real Madrid so...the best team is miami by far Supporters Shield showed this...playoffs are a roulette (Columbus vs NY)..you like? you take what it comes; with one game the seed doesn't count because the seed is based on 34 games...PS the "stars" are more than 35 all, don't expect the Barca version otherwise they would in Europe...Greetings from ITALY!!

[@michellekaufman3294]

Hello, Italy! Nice to have you. Thanks for tuning in to the show!

[@ChipHamblin]

You do realize that Neymar is injured again? He might be a bit of a risk health wise for Miami.

[@michellekaufman3294]

He has been injured a lot, for sure. Let's see what happens.

[@sebasiegrist9341]

What's the point of pushing the worst scenario possible into the players head? I don't get it. They know what's on stake, every game is a KO game from now on.

[@RandomRay1]

I'm hoping for an inter win, but that would have to be the biggest upset in not only mls history, but north American sports the past 20 years if they lost to Atlanta.

[@michellekaufman3294]

Hmmm..not sure if I would go that far, as there have been many big upsets in American sports over 20 years, but yes, certainly, this would be a big one. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your comments.

[@RandomRay1]

@michellekaufman3294 yes, their have been plenty of upsets, but with the talent on the roster vs the atlanta team that squeaked into the playoffs. It would be quite the upset we've seen recently.

[@tatiabril-k4h]

bringing Neymar is a terrible idea, what the team needs is defensive players

[@_Messiii]

She is soo salty because Messi hasn’t given her a one-on-one interview since coming to Miami. She forgets that without Messi she would still be an unknown, so would Miami. Only when Messi retires will these ungrateful “journalists” feel that empty void they’ve been living. These “journalists” need to count their lucky stars for becoming temporarily relevant because of Messi.

[@pithius2191]

"Ungrateful"...😂 maybe a little pessimistic? Everyone loves Messi, including Andre and Michelle, who have been covering Messi, Suarez and countless other soccer players for decades. Messi, as you know, inspires humility, respect and love for the beautiful game...follow Messi's example brother. ❤

[@michellekaufman3294]

Not salty at all. I have great respect for Lionel Messi and have been saying so and writing stories about him since he arrived. By the way, I did get a 1 on 1 interview with him (you can see the video on KZbin) and he was charming and nice and we had a good chat. Even on this podcast episode I was saying how amazing it was that he had back to back hat tricks. I merely pointed out that Atlanta has been giving him and Miami trouble all season.

[@_Messiii]

@@michellekaufman3294 Fair. But as a person who's been following Messi's career since the beginning, I have to say that you are very critical of him, and the sarcastic words you use to describe him and what he has brought to MLS are unpleasant. He brought a last place team to a record season and supporter's shield...something Miami would probably not achieve anytime soon, if ever. Just asking you to be more positive and focus on the great things he has brought to Miami. Whether Miami wins or loses does not matter anymore, just appreciate what he brings to the game, it won't last long and believe you will miss him more than any other athlete, just ask Barcelona fans.

[@chamberlainwonder369]

In order not to allow Atlanta to breathe on saturday

[@jordansuresky7799]

Looking forward to the trip to Fort Lauderdale and we are bringing at least 500-750 of our ATLUTD supporters! #UniteandConquer

[@michellekaufman3294]

Should make for a great atmosphere! Hoping for good weather.

[@alascity-jorgesantacruz]

I can’t believe the nerve of Tata Martino smiling after the game! It infuriates me that our media isn’t tough enough to even call out these little things, unlike the press in the European leagues that would rip him apart. The first question I’d ask him would be, "Why do you look so happy or pleased??" Our media needs to be WAY tougher on this kind of nonsense!

[@michellekaufman3294]

That interview on the video was not post-game. He was not happy post-game. That is from pre-training here in Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks for tuning in.

[@_Messiii]

@@michellekaufman3294if you watched the match on season pass Tata was smiling while shaking the other coaches hands after the loss, pay attention, don’t spread fake stories just to back-up your coach buddy at Miami.

[@chamberlainwonder369]

Why inter Miami are having a hard time with a struggling team like Atlanta united? They need to beat Atlanta asap

[@RandomRay1]

@@chamberlainwonder369 they've struggled for whatever reason against Atlanta the past 2 seasons, with and without Messi.

[@chamberlainwonder369]

This is so crazy why are they struggling to beat Atlanta? Messi rohas, campana, cremaschi, Messi, Jodi Abba, Suarez busquet, men they need to get this job done on Saturday otherwise the world would say something

[@michellekaufman3294]

The pressure is on Miami, for sure. Enjoy the game!

[@89jstubbs]

So negative shake my head

[@michellekaufman3294]

Not negative. Just reviewing the situation Inter Miami finds itself in...in danger of being eliminated in the first round, which nobody expected. Anyway, thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@_Messiii]

@@michellekaufman3294give me a break, didn’t hear you say much about your mls darlings Columbus Crew who crashed out in the first round after being embarrassed home and away, yet you spend almost the entire show ripping Messi and Miami? Messi’s Miami won the Supporter Shield in record fashion, be more grateful, no one will remember you after he leaves, enjoy your minor exposure and tell the truth about how he’s transformed the entire sports-market in the world by making MLS relevant.
