Futbol Americas: Messi and Miami Bounced + USMNT & EL TRI Roster Reaction
Inter Miami manager accountability
The players give it to the maximum, they give it to 100% of them, and if the team hasn't had to play a brilliant game and hasn't been able to pass the elimination, the responsibility is the coach. I take the full responsibility.
CONCACAF Champions Cup impact
This is a horrendous night not only for Inter Miami. This is a horrendous night for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. You should be talking about the marquee matchup of Club America versus Inter Miami, of Messi in Estadio Azteca. And no, we're not talking about that.
Gio Reyna USMNT status
The U.S. Men's National Team does not have the luxury of leaving players like Giovanni Reyna off a roster. They don't have those type of players. There's going to be a moment in this World Cup where they need a moment of magic, a player with creativity.
USMNT player standards
It's important to be focused in the World Cup. It's important to train, always giving your best, always on the top. It's not to say, 'OK, I am in my club 50%.' Because after in the national team, I'm going to play 100%. No, I want the player to play in his best in their team.
Mexico national team goalkeeping
The fact that Memo Ochoa could potentially be the starting goalkeeper... it's a referendum on the talent level in that position in the country. You cannot tell me that there isn't another goalkeeper who's better than Memo Ochoa at this point in his career.
Inter Miami tactical analysis
It's the same Inter Miami that we've seen in the previous years where there's a lack of stability. It's a top-heavy club that's heavily reliant on Lionel Messi. If Messi's not creating, if Messi's not putting the ball away, few others will.
USMNT roster selection
I think any kind of experimentation is over and it's basically, here's the players I think give me the best chance to get a result, bar a couple guys who have some small injuries.
Ricardo Pepi transfer to Fulham
Ricardo Pepi has never been the man at PSV and he's getting a massive move to a club that's usually a mid-table club... the expectations will be huge.
Lionel Messi career milestones
I firmly believe if he decided to play for another two years, he'd get to 1,000 [goals]. That's the type of output that he has in this region with Inter Miami.
MLS 2027 calendar change
You cannot call this an MLS Cup champion because an MLS Cup champion then devalues my achievements and the achievements of anybody else who has won an MLS Cup.
