WHY WAS HE ABSENT AGAINST SPORTING KANSAS CITY?

The reason for Lionel Messi's absence from his team, Inter Miami, is due to the fact that he was called up by coach Lionel Scaloni to represent the Argentina National Team in the match against Ecuador, corresponding to the first date of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
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 a 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.
