INTENSE SCHEDULE FOR MESSI
Lionel Messi is back with Inter Miami after playing against Ecuador and resting during the match against Bolivia. He is now ready to face a series of matches in the U.S. Soccer League.
In the next two weeks, the Florida team will face four Major League Soccer (MLS) matches and will play the US Open Cup final against Houston Dynamo.
MLS PRESENT IN PAST QUALIFIERS
On this FIFA date, the North American league has provided a total of 25 players, in contrast to the 10 players provided by the Mexican league. What is most striking is the change in trend that has occurred in a short period of time, since, on average, during the qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Liga MX had 26 players called up compared to 15 from MLS. This change shows significant growth in MLS's international influence in the region's soccer.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENGLISH AND ARGENTINE
Nelson Rodriguez, MLS Executive Vice President of Sports Product and Competition, wanted to give dimension to the arrival of a player like Leo in a growing market and the impact he will have on soccer for several years and even decades to come.
"The league has grown tremendously since its inception in 1996. Since 2008, we dedicated ambition, we wanted you to be a player, coach, referee or whatever, we wanted MLS to be your destination league. And Messi has proven it
ARE RELEASED AT THE CONFEDERATION
The updated CONCACAF club rankings through September 2023 have been released, and Inter Miami has seen a notable move up the table, surpassing some teams considered "big" in Liga BBVA MX.
Although the top ten is still mostly occupied by Mexican clubs, with only Philadelphia Union and Nashville in the top ten, the 11th position belongs to Carlos Vela's LAFC, and the 12th position goes to Lionel Messi's Miami. This achievement represents an impressive growth compared to their previous position in the ranking.
INTER MIAMI'S MADNESS
Jorge Mas, one of Inter Miami's principal owners, has a deep understanding of the economic impact of Lionel Messi's arrival at the club. In short, the club is expected to double its profits in the first year after the addition of Messi, representing a significant increase in economic benefits.
"Our value will increase significantly. I would not be surprised if the valuation of our franchise in one year can potentially reach $1.3 billion or $1.5 billion,"
THE WAIT IS OVER
The wait is over, all the emotions of the MLS duels are back with the best goals, the best plays, the best players and the best controversies in a week where the nations will once again face each other to continue their path to the championship.

About the Stadium
Lockhart Stadium is a soccer stadium located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States. The stadium was opened in 1959 and originally served as the home of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, a professional soccer team that competed in the North American Soccer League. In 2001, the stadium closed its doors to professional soccer due to financial and infrastructure problems. However, in 2019, a stadium renovation and revitalization plan was announced to bring professional soccer back to the area.
Inter Miami CF is one of the most prominent teams that has been involved in the Lockhart Stadium renovation project, it is planned to be used as a temporary home for Inter Miami CF while a new team-specific stadium is being built in Miami.
The GOAT is looking for one more title to its palmares
On the other hand, the beautiful dream of the Leagues Cup and US Cup is over for Leo Messi and company, now, Inter Miami must focus on the real mission that for many is "almost impossible", because with only a month and a half of competition, the team coached by Tata Martino will seek to get out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference and sneak into the MLS Playoffs. At the moment, Inter Miami is in 14th place with 31 points.
Looking for the three points
Toronto is ready to prove its worth on the biggest stage and write a new chapter in the history of the city's soccer and the MLS tournament. The fact of visiting the team where Leo Messi, the best player in history for many, plays and having the opportunity to beat him in a mythical grass like Lockhart Stadium, makes this duel even more attractive for the visitors, who remain in the lower positions of the conference and are in a constant battle to avoid being at the bottom of the zone, since their direct rival for now is Inter Miami.
The emotions of the MLS
The emotions of the MLS regular season 2023 continue, the teams continue their way to obtain points to climb positions in the general table and close in the best possible way to qualify for the final phase of the competition and to fight for the title at the end of the campaign in December. In addition, these dates after the FIFA dates will be important to arrive with a good rhythm and level for the league break in October, thus avoiding delaying the process that the 32 teams have been working on since the competition restarted after the Leagues Cup. In this match, Inter Miami will face Toronto in what will be a duel between two teams that are in need of points to move up in the overall standings of the Eastern Conference.
