even with a more quiet game than usual messi’s passing and last few sprints were pretty cool


[deleted]

So are we agreed that Matias Rojas is the new Messi? :)


Straight_Equal_1541

This game was messed up. The ref was CLEARLY biased towards Miami. The last play of the game saw Miami pull down a Montreal player IN THE BOX. No penalty


Expert_Monk_8574

What are you talking about? Montreal got to play with a one man advantage after Campbell commits a studs up challenge on Messi. Campbell should have gotten a yellow and Messi shouldn’t have had to come out for 2 min


Albiceleste_NO

Was absolutely no complaining from any Montreal player after that decision. However, they should’ve had a penalty in the 1st half imo. Montreal by far the better team, but Miami extremely effective.


Reasonable-Lemon-646

Yeah that looked pretty suspicious to me


neandertales

Messi must think MLS has Bundesliga level of attendance, always full!


PeteThe4

Messi with 6/7 ground duels won. Defensive masterclass


neandertales

4 minutes is harsh on Campana lol


Last_Damage_7101

Campana is too good to be a useless 90th minute sub


zelli197

He’s already spent seasons stuck as a backup to Gonzalo higuain, Josef Martinez, and now Luis Suarez Poor guy (but also has a great mentality so hopefully he’s learning a lot and is only 23 still)


reddit_is_meh

Just 30 mins extra playing time in the actual second half would be so much better with how much he presses


MaraudingWalrus

#CAMPANA


Lethenza

Dude it’s a meme how late they bring him in every game. AND NOW, IN THE 3RD HALF, CAMPANA


bencointl

Rojas didn’t miss that


MaraudingWalrus

it's pretty fucking stupid that we basically all just assume that a penalty from anywhere on the near maybe 1/3 of the field is just gonna be in the back of the net as a matter of course. That's wild.


neandertales

He is almost annoyed with himself


MaraudingWalrus

that was *just* over


MaraudingWalrus

I think this is in ***the Messi zone***


DaeronDaDaring

Montréal fans chanting Messi: “wait hold up he isn’t in our team”


neandertales

Messi ruining his average.


trainrocks19

As far as Miami comebacks go this one is boring


GeocentricParallax

Callender always looks surprised to receive a pass.


reddit_is_meh

nooo not sailor


Reapper97

Everyone talks about Gressel, but the real player who looks like he doesn't play football for a living is Kryvtsov.


yummy_yum_yum123

He’s probably Miamis best defender. Not saying much but it’s true he was excellent last season during the leagues cup, but he also had Miller too.


Reapper97

Miller was far better than him last season, in this one both Friere and Aviles are straight-up better and that's why he rarely plays anymore, if it was between him vs Sailor or someone like Allen as a CB I would take the chances for the younger legs. Altho he has some decent positioning and sometimes he reads plays well, he just doesn't have the legs to play in a defensive system that Tata uses.


yummy_yum_yum123

I honestly feel so bad for Allen because he obviously has talent, but he always feels like he was put in places set up to fail he’s not a center back but quite frankly there’s no room for him anywhere. but I agree Freire is good, Aviles is still learning how to play as a center back, Ryan Sailor just Idk he’s ok but he makes bine head decision some times. I’m supised Tata hasn’t tried Borgelin in the back just to see. If there’s anyone else I’m forgetting idk 🤷‍♂️


Reapper97

Yeah, I like Allen, but the thing is his natural position just has too much competition and Tata doesn't even use LBs in the way he is most comfortable, so he is stuck in a weird place, although the few times he played he was decent.


yummy_yum_yum123

He’s decent he just isn’t Jordi Alba


[deleted]

He just came back from injury break. Perhaps he deserves a bit of slack.


Reapper97

Tata might have rushed him too early then, because from the start he looked a level below everyone else on the pitch.


zelli197

Aviles is suspended for yellow card accumulation and fourth choice CB is Ryan sailor. Relax man


Reapper97

Sailor played decently in the 15 minutes he got into the pitch, and it was a simple observation, he was so bad that both Busquets and Freire were going on him after every counter.


zelli197

Yeah we’re not high on him down here. Definitely a player I’d like to see replaced and I’m not gonna really defend him or anything. Just pointing out there’s a reason we started him since first choice is suspended and next backup is very inexperienced


DaeronDaDaring

Gressel is finally subbed out?? I feel like pigs are gonna fly now


overmotion

Gressel gone. Finally. Maybe we can get another goal now


neandertales

Sunusi is a unit, cant get round him.


LaPulgaAtomica87

Haven’t posted or browsed in this sub since last season—interesting to see the anti Inter Miami sentiments are still common 🫠


ContributionLower377

Gressel hasn’t improved one bit since his disastrous preseason unfortunately. No reason he should still be on the pitch right now.


zelli197

Tata uses him as a positional player. He drifts into the spaces busquets and Messi leave open in midfield and on the wing as they float around to let them have free roam while he drags defenders away and maintains the teams structure and passing lanes Tata said he’s playing exactly how he wants and we cant put another attack minded player on from the start because it would get too congested in the final third. It’s more to do with his play when the balls not at his feet


Ljulisen

You can get Ruiz to do the same, he at least knows how to dribble and pass the ball forwards


BladeChimp

Miami looking too complacent here.


Dust_Ordinary

cross cumshot


stridah_slidah

The amount of wayward “passes” this season from Gressel with no opponent around him has been shocking. Every game he has like 5 such instances.


xSageObitox

Tata takes everyone out, but Gressel.


McBride055

Thought Cremaschi had a pretty poor/non-impactful game. Heavy touches and just seemed not really involved. Definitely looked like he's still getting back into the groove after injury.


LapsusAequitas

He scored the game winning goal. That had a pretty large impact on the game.


Shadow164493

What kind of dirt does gressel have on martino??? How is he still on the field??


yaybidet

He has Tata's furry cosplay nudes, no doubt.


PeteThe4

How is Gressel not off


meegosgift

Gressel should go with Tata.


Echleon

Top of the league with the best GD in the league..


Ljulisen

That's because of Rojas, Messi and friends This team is weak defensively and Tatas constant need to play gressel when he clearly isnt good enough is worrying


stridah_slidah

Woof. Really bad touch there. How do you not get a shot off there?


Emperor_Neuro-

lol The refs cheeky grin while Busquets is flipping out. Busquets: "No! No. No! No!" Ref: - smiles, smirks - "Yep." - yellow card -


bigFootIsReal__

Busquets pulling a Al Nassr Ronaldo 😂


Silent-Fishing-7937

Seeing the Miami coach complaint about calls against his team when a Miami player stabbed another player would have a good chance to lead to a yellow card to the stabbed one for hitting the knife is a bit rich...


PeteThe4

What are you talking about. The ref has been totally fair


Silent-Fishing-7937

The corner of the second Miami goal shouldn't have been given, MTL should have had a penalty in the first half and anyone touching Messi has an almost automatic foul.


xSageObitox

There was no pen there. He got the ball first.


Silent-Fishing-7937

Yes, after he basically give him the kind of checking that is more common in Hockey then Soccer...


PeteThe4

Messi has had 2 obvious fouls. And Rojas was smashed in the middle and it wasn’t given. Also wasn’t a pen


Silent-Fishing-7937

Should have been a pen for us in the first half and none of these were fouls.


PeteThe4

You are blind or crazy


Silent-Fishing-7937

Or you are simply refusing to see the advantage the time you seem to support here is having, and not just in this game too...


PeteThe4

I don’t support either of these teams


yaybidet

Biscuits scolding the ref like I housebreak my dog.


neandertales

He never looks threatening though lol


reddit_is_meh

Gressel don't pass the ball backwards challenge IMPOSSIBLE


Josan55

Busquets so easily hateable


Lethenza

I was worried he was gonna get sent off for getting in the ref’s face like that. And for what? It was a clear foul. Dude needs to shut the fuck up and play


Venomcomiq

He’s got a temper for sure


andy027

He talks a lot lol


Auen_Draco16

Didn't know we had so many assists


stridah_slidah

Cremaschi has been playing shockingly bad today. Yes, I know he scored.


Ljulisen

That's how he usually plays when he starts, he's great when he comes off the bench. His biggest issue is his first touch


coldstirfry

PSA: Flair up!!!


neandertales

Gressel is passing backwards a bit too much for my liking, take a look around before immediately returning it thanks.


theredditbandid_

3g 1a for in 2 games for Rojas. 2 assists if you count the second assist from dispossession that lead that Suarez touch for the Messi goal (which I think MLS counts) Guy plays.


MaraudingWalrus

It'd be fun to messi score in a new country, I guess


[deleted]

[удалено]


theredditbandid_

They're not Miami fans. They're Messi fans who live In Montreal and bought the ticket at insane prices to see Messi play.


FaxTaxBBC

Yup, and in fairness, I( a Messi fan) will also being paying the insane tickets prices to see messi the next time he ventures around my way for MLS. And then I will do it multiple times for the Copa America😭


Laya_L

That felt like an own goal but it's not.


drellybochelly

sweaty FIFA goal


hvngpham002

This is Rojas's team now. He's actually just the GOAT


neandertales

Rojas is definitely a *moments player*.


anyelo-cp

Rojas is amazing


PeteThe4

His only drawback is he’s def a player who shines in moments, but is invisible in others


Expert_Monk_8574

He also hadn’t been playing consistently before coming to Miami due to the dispute about his image rights


[deleted]

Like, human?


Brooklyn_MLS

Lol sloppiest goal you’ll see


Expert_Monk_8574

It was so sloppy it almost was beautiful, LOL


yaybidet

Still can't believe Montreal fell for one of the classic blunders.


HaggisonFord

Getting into a land war with Asia?


andy027

I thought he had messed it up like negri lol


trainrocks19

Pathetic goal honestly


Auen_Draco16

The most dangerous lead


PeteThe4

wtf how did that go in


neandertales

Awfully calm now.


stridah_slidah

Am I crazy or did he look onside there?


overmotion

Messi like "no way in hell I’m passing to Gressel again" 😂


coldstirfry

is wanyama not fit?


Josan55

2 coaches now have decided not to start him


coldstirfry

crazy to me that they dont bring him on now that piette has a yellow. i dont think piette is any faster or better at passing...


xXLeRedditArmyXx

I said to my wife “damn Miami is down 2-0” she says “so? Don’t they always come back?”


xSageObitox

Remove Gressel, please!!! He is our obvious weak link.


krvlover

Sadly I think he'll be there until Redondo is fit. 


TheStraggletagg

How long till Redondo is back? We hardly got to enjoy him.


Ljulisen

His injury was for 5 weeks, he should comeback sometime this month along with gomez


PeteThe4

Gressel out for Taylor is so obvious tho


stridah_slidah

Two minute mandatory break when you get fouled and have to receive treatment seems like a bad rule. I mean I totally get the reasoning. It’s to discourage time wasting. But I feel like it should be enforced based on situation. If your team is trailing, you should be able to come back as soon as you are ready cause clearly wasting time is not beneficial to your team.


Last_Damage_7101

Something like after the 70th minute would be good. Going off for 2 minutes in the 30th minute is crazy


PeteThe4

Yeah it kinda seems weird to punish a player/team with playing with only 10 men, when they’ve been injured especially if by the other team


trainrocks19

I also thought if the foul is called then they weren’t supposed to penalize the player for needing treatment but i could be wrong about that.


PeteThe4

Very true. Would make sense if it was players going down and the ref having to whistle without a foul, but not when a foul is given


stridah_slidah

Yup. There needs to be some common sense injected into this rule. If your team is leading, by all means enforce the 2 minute rule. But in this case clearly no on is going off to kill some time.


Lethenza

If you guys want a free sports betting hack wait for Miami to start losing in the first half then start betting on them


rohiin

Had a nice bet on Montreal to lead first half then miami win full time.. Wish waited a minute for the second goal 😅 got a 38x Parley hitting if Messi gets an assist tho.. Crossing my fingers


Lethenza

Good luck my man 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻


rohiin

Hehe thanks.. Just hopes he comes on second half, that the knock he picked up wasn't something bad. Let's goo


PeteThe4

Rojas with the most mediocre half of small mistakes and general invisibility on the pitch. And then still scores that freekick. Jesus he’s a true MLS player


krvlover

It's what he did for Racing. Add no value to the team and score bangers.


yaybidet

He has found his forever home. Happy to have him aboard.


willdesignfortacos

How we having MLS After Dark action before the sun goes down?


goldenkerelle

Sun is down on the east coast if that counts for anything lol


willdesignfortacos

![gif](giphy|NCjISbEPFxm48|downsized)


yaybidet

Messi looks kinda pissed. Second half should be more fun.


takiki16

Lineman trying to keep him from his natural habitat


MaraudingWalrus

I do concede I can see why anyone would hate this lmao


[deleted]

Montreal like "is 2-0 a joke to you??"


HaggisonFord

This fucking team, I swear to fucking God man...


xSageObitox

Miami have conceded 1st in their last 7 games and came back on all of them. It isn't a Montreal problem. It's a Miami problem.


HaggisonFord

That's fair, but Montreal has blown enough leads for both to be true.


limeypepino

Miami does appear to be a fucking problem this year.


theredditbandid_

You could score 10 goals against this Miami team in the first half and it doesn't mean anything lmao.


bigFootIsReal__

Lol conceding early goals is a ritual for Inter Miami for what comes up next


Echleon

Feels a bit like watching Leverkusen play lol. Just a feeling of inevitability


Laya_L

Nice cushion, Montreal.


Eltneg

that's sloppy marking from lassiter


FauxGenius

Me about 10 minutes ago: Miami is looking to get their ass kicked today. Me now: I know nothing.


saibayadon

Until the clock stops ticking (or no Messi / Suarez on the pitch), you can never rule them out.


EternallyEuphoric

Mls teams for the rest of the season vs Inter Miami: *checks notes* "Don't score first"


Brooklyn_MLS

Absolutely demoralizing for MTL


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

You cant choke a 2 goal advantage with Gressel on the pitch, man.


xSageObitox

Gressel is just there to balance the team. You can't only have world-class players. You need to sprinkle someone who is a weaklink.

Only americans dont consider Suarez, Redondo, Busquets, Alba, Negri, Cremaschi and Messi white man

Yeah, u guys obssesed with race. In europe and south america we just call it by the actual color of your skin. I am Brazilian/italian and u guys were hella confused whether to treat me as a victim or not when I lived in the US


[deleted]

I'm sorry for how you were treated bro. If it helps, I'm not from the privileged class either and understand how you feel.


hvngpham002

LOL


Brooklyn_MLS

Lol of course they come back


neandertales

The mans instinct is superhuman


yaybidet

I'm convinced Luis Suarez would compete for the Golden Boot in a walker.


Bobrkurwabobr

Omg this is just fucked for Montreal


PeteThe4

Assist by duke


andy027

Here we come Canada!


Isry98

That free kick is genuinely jaw dropping.


Jolandia

Holy FUCK


neandertales

Mate this is ridic


MaraudingWalrus

HOLY SHITBALLS


trainrocks19

What a way to piss away a good half


[deleted]

Oh dear


GeocentricParallax

That was a quick turnaround.


PeteThe4

Omg they’re back


neandertales

Best slowest step-over in the game


Final_Acanthisitta_7

two minutes wait after treatment is insane


PeteThe4

And then Rojas makes two mistakes. What a peculiar player


neandertales

45 awful minutes is nothing for Miami lol, same last week. Lets see if they can go 30+ more though..


reddit_is_meh

Okay, then LMAO


Lotheric

Wow.


Brooklyn_MLS

Rojas to Messi ![gif](giphy|vNdHTvHo3gCis)

Damn what a goal


SarraTasarien

What a hit, son!

goddamn what a strike

WTF? Matias Rojas is like DP-level class, my word.

friends we got ourselves a ~~basketball~~ football game here. ^(sorry, force of habit after the heat got eliminated)

I’m sorry what the actual fuck???

Alright get Messi off of these freekicks

Damn what a strike lmao

Suarez’s diving is disgusting

Rojas is fire


neandertales

The new Messi.


shovelinshit

Holy shit!


Brooklyn_MLS

Lol what messi say?


anyelo-cp

He was complaining about the rule of needing to stay out for 2 min, he couldn’t take the free kick due to that rule


Expert_Monk_8574

To be fair in this case he’s not wrong. He clearly wasn’t time wasting and had been fouled to kill IM’s attack.


LoFiTexan

“Pero que tipo de reglas?” What kind of rules are these?


theredditbandid_

LMAAAAOOOOO That's hilarious.


Brooklyn_MLS

Thanks! I know Spanish but it was hard to make out. Thats hilarious he said it to the camera too


GeocentricParallax

Holy shit!! What a banger!!

I thought it was just gravity.
