General MLS Discussion

if it was included as a season ticket perk, sure. why not? it's more than just calling him out to wave to the crowd... you're going to attend a show ha.

it's raining though. so that kinda sucks ha. hopefully messi doesn't slip and roll an ankle

I’d be a bit more likely to go if I weren’t STH. But if I can see him at the games, I don’t think I’d go out on Sunday night, drive, get home late, etc.
The rain is bad. Too bad Prince is dead. His Super Bowl show in the Miami rain was something i would get wet to see.

i'd go see prince in a blizzard!

attempted to watch the messi presentation but apple TV kept stuttering and the presentation seemed poorly produced. camera angles were all over the place. i think they had to adapt because no one could go all the way to the center like they intended because they built the cat walk out of material that gets slippery with rain .... in miami. good call there whoever planned that one.

now the world can finally find out if messi can do what he does on a cold rainy day in new england on poor quality artificial turf.

I didn’t watch but you’re not alone in criticizing Apple’s production of this

I’m too lazy to look it up but does Miami have games left this year on turf in Atlanta, Charlotte, NE, etc?

busquets official at inter miami now.... guess we're waiting for jordi alba? lol.

Sergio Busquets signs with Inter Miami | MLSSoccer.com

One day after Lionel Messi formally signed with Inter Miami CF, legendary defensive midfielder Sergio Busquets has also joined the Major League Soccer club.

this gives them 4 designated players? 5 if you count gregore, but since he's a season ending injury, he's not counted.

how are they doing this? lol

I think they buy down Gregory and bought out Pizarro to be compliant.

Now let’s see if they sign Alba or others on “TAM deals with additional marketing incentives (cough cough)”

i thought MLS was in charge of production and apple simply provides the streaming services? both failed tonight .. apple with not having the server capacity to handle it all and MLS with poor prep and production.

with all the hype with messi, to drop the ball like this when they know there are millions of extra eyes tuning in.. not a good look

pizzarro is not one of the DPs i counted. gregore would be #5 but he doesn't count cause he's on a season long injury.

messi, busquets, josef, and campana (young dp) are the 4.

miami go to atlanta in september and charlotte in oct.

Josef is not a DP, they got him on TAM due to the Atlanta buyout I think.

I want to scream at Miami too - but so far they are within the roster rules.

Lol. Who knows then. Ok.. guess they have 3 with busquets..

 

[Shwafta]

Isn't YDP still one of the three DP?

 

[moogoo]

not sure what you're asking?

he's one of the DPs counted. the only question mark was josef but seems the article is probably correct and MLS site is wrong otherwise miami would be breakin the rules... again.

 

[Davo15]

I don’t begrudge them if they find a way to skirt the dp rules , I wish we’d do it lol .

According to the list someone posted above, there's:
Gregore
Messi
Campana (YDP)
Busquets

which is why I'm asking if YDP counts as a regular DP, because then how do they have four? I see you posted above about there being four. still confusedo n this part.

Yes, the MLS site. Which is notoriously unreliable. But not sure where your quote is from or why you trust it more.

 

[mgarbowski]

If you're going to cheat and pay more than 3 players above the league maximum, accounting for G/TAM, then you don't list them as DPs on the official roster.
I have no idea if Miami is cheating. I've extremely confident that any such attempt to cheat is not reliant on the hope that nobody in MLS can count to three on the official roster list. Either one is in transition and about to be loaned/released/ whatever, or the public roster lists are just wrong as they often are.
Plus do roster rules even apply now when the next league game is 5 weeks away? Miami's lawyer at the arbitration hearing about the rescission of their Leagues Cup trophy.

Imagine if MLS roster rules don't count towards the Leagues Cup and we just buy / get on loan some crazy players for Leagues Cup and just transfer / end the loan after the tournament...

We do get Neymar, but just for a month...
