Well, that's that. We had two great chances to level at 2-2 and missed them both. And paid for it.

This isn't giving up. Miami are lethal and we missed our chance to tie the game. Miami really are at a different level.
No they didn’t. They’re playing Kevin O’Toole in midfield against Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and friends. Get out of here with that.
On that counter? 36 year old Alba sprinting across the field beating damn near our entire team? That's giving up to me.
This is a fully baked roster vs. a half-baked roster. We have a fantastic academy. Incredible coach, and a bunch of clowns at the top playing games with our premium roster spots for the last 5 years that have wasted peak years of Maxi and Parks and cost us the chance at being truly great. Nico is a great step in the right direction but we need a complete roster next season. Enough with this 85% of the way there crap year after year.

Insulting not to add any stoppage time, not that it matters. Hell of a year. Disappointing but not terribly surprising finish.
Allende and Silvetti have really changed the complexion of their side. Lots of pace and verticality. They're clinical, too.
Well, we definitely now need an Alonso replacement. Will they go big or small? No idea. I hope they go big. Figure out what happens with Alonso when he comes back.

I'm not blaming him for the loss, but I don't need to see Julian step on the field for this team again. At this stage, we've seen enough. If we bring in a top striker and re-sign Haak, assuming Maxi retires Nico takes the No. 10. Hopefully Perea and Parks are ready to go for the start of 2026 and I'll go to war with that team.
Overachieved for the season, so I'm proud of the guys for that.
We had chances but panicked all but one time. Inter Messi did not. The score got out of hand at the end.
Inter Messi are built to win things. We're built to sell things. Our owners need to treat us like a big market team.

If CFG truly takes this seriously, like LAFC-level serious, this offseason, they would:
1. Convert Martins from a DP player to a TAM player
2. Sign two more Nico-level or better DPs
3. Sell Julian and sign a U22 player that is at least close to being an MLS-level player
That is exactly what the top teams in the league would do, and anyone saying that is too much to ask of CFG has allowed their standards to be lowered way too far from where we all started when this club launched.
This, unfortunately, is true.
