Questions from the LAFC Miami match thread on Reddit:
Why are Miami and LAFC playing if they are in different conferences? [no flair]
Wait, what happened to Chivas USA? [Miami flair]
Which players / friends did Messi bring with him to Mami? [SKC Flair]
If Miami makes the playoffs can they win the league? [no flair]. The first response to this came from a Portland flair account and was completely wrong.
They all seem to be sincere. Tentative conclusion: Messi is drawing in fans to MLS including at least some who immediately identify as fans of their local team.

I get that Miami has talent, but what I can’t understand is how usually top MLS players turtle against them - Blake letting in two easy goals, Bouanga missing various sitters. Long slipping and giving the ball straight to Messi for the 3rd goal last night.
I am not putting on tin foil (yet) as it’s just really weird that Messiami has this pixie dust where players make weird and out of character mistakes while Miami is out of this world clinical.
It will get boring real quick if Messiami wins everything.
i wouldn't say LAFC turtled against miami. they just weren't clinical when they had the chances and when they were on target, calendar was a fucking wall. out of no where, their CBs have become rock solid and their keeper a wall. A team that previously leaked goals like crazy is now suddenly defensively solid? It's part of the confidence that the team has gained knowing that they have messi on their side.
i'm sure some players do get that star struck feeling knowing they're on the same field as their idol. would have been a different game if they took the lead, i think. they were always going to suffer chasing the game against a dangerous attack with messi leading it.
Just coming here for the schadenfreude. That and the prospect of the Citi Field Pastrami sandwich on Saturday are the only things keeping me afloat right now.
Dying to know what Arena did, how he lost his longtime sidekick, and where it falls on the Struber-Villa-Portland scale.

Are you going to Citi Field for a pastrami sandwich instead of Yankee Stadium for the derby?
You must REALLY like those sandwiches.
So I’m sure most people have seen the Busquets quick free kick where he grabbed the ball and restarted while the ref was actively talking to a player of the other team, resulting in a Miami goal.
Raise your hand if someone from NYCFC did the exact same thing, the ref would have blown his whistle and called it back for some reason.

If I could I would
If the Mets weren’t so godawful I might consider that. But seriously I was getting ahead of myself. I guess I have to wait until next Wednesday.
ETA: The spicy dish of Revschadenfreude just keeps getting tastier by the day.
Every few hours there are new developments but the most amazing thing is there have been zero leaks about what is at the heart of this.
Can’t wait until Messi inevitably wins the “newcomer of the year” award and is like “what is this?????”
And yes, when (notice I say when and not if) Miami makes the playoffs Messi will get MVP votes.

How many more articles like this will show up about Inter Messi's stadium deal?
I mean, why not? They haven't lost yet. Only 2 ties I think? It's not due to Jordi Alba. People here (and elsewhere) may love to hate on Messi and/or the way MLS is pumping the Messi hype, but when a key player turns a worst in the league team into the hottest team in the league with zero losses and multiple trophies heading into the playoffs ... someone help me see why he isn't a, or even the, candidate for MVP?Can’t wait until Messi inevitably wins the “newcomer of the year” award and is like “what is this?????”

Not that I think we're going to the playoffs, but CLT-DC and MTL-DC are both 0-0 with 20 minutes to go. If those results hold, we will head into Wednesday only four points back of a playoff spot. Couldn't really ask for better results than that from those two games. We also have a very favorable schedule to end the season, including Toronto, DC, and Chicago.
Can someone link a eli5 or some round up of all the stuff going on in New England? Seems like something new comes up every other day now. I didn’t keep up from the start and now Im Lost lol.
