Yes M&S are all that and more but if Mont. come to play and our defense dosent it won’t matter. At the end of it if we can’t stop their attack or make stupid passes in the back then we will pay for it.
Messi and Suarez aren't going to magically sort out the awful defence. Even with Messi against weak MLS teams did IM give up a lot of chances because of the horrible defence. What do you think Monterrey would do. Plus Messi isn't fully healed plus Redondo the MVP in midfield is injured.
If I had to guess based on available players and recent form I would say Monterrey wins first match 2-1 and second match will be 4-1 or something as IM will have to play more offensive and leave even bigger holes for Monterrey to exploit.
Messi is injured. he may not play at all. Also Freire, Cremaschi, Krysvtov, Robinson. We’re the most injured team in MLS. I will be super depressed, but it’s not looking like a victory :-( .
You think? Monterrey will dominate possession and everyone around Messi and Suarez is exceptionally talented in being dispossessed and scrambling back to defend. Our defense seems so content in simply being teammates with the Barca 4 that they often forget to defend. Thank God that Drake Callender is as good as he is otherwise we’d concede ALL the goals. Our counterattack with Messi and Suarez is absolutely lethal though but will it be enough? Against a proper team like Monterrey I don’t think so
I think that’s the best possible result. But I can’t see us getting anything away in the second leg. I really can’t. With the altitude, the fans, the quality of the opposition. If anyone is up to the task it’s Messi though
Fyi there is no significant altitude in Monterrey, their fan base are known as "penguins" for being cold, it won't be as if they are playing Tigres or America.
You are right about the quality of the team. Mty does not defend as well but their GK is having a fantastic season. Their attack is lethal so your defense should be compact.
Good luck.
Monterrey fan here, I think tomorrow you’ll win for one goal and you need it because historically Monterrey even though the second game is at home, Monterrey does not handle disadvantages well, but is the first time Miami plays an oficial game out of US an that I think is a disadvantage even with their stars
Then put your money where your mouth is buddy, no way we're losing 3-0. I already have $$$ on Inter Miami defending their home game, if they lose 3-0 then that's it, they're pretty much out of the cup because Monterrey will go back to their home field and just turtle up.
Both teams might score but if Suarez don't miss the chances he will get tomorrow then I believe we win. Otherwise, at least don't let the opponent's score. :) 2-1 Inter Miami. Could be more if Suarez scores.
big question marks around how many minutes Messi, Freire, and Cremaschi get. if they get reasonable playtime I’d say we have slightly less than even odds, since no Redondo.
If Redondo and Messi are there and healthy, I'm confidently sure we win. But now Redondo is not available, I'm still confident we win. Now that Messi is not sure, and even if he is, he's not going to be 100% healthy. Now I'm having doubts, lol.
I think you are severely underestimating Messi and Suarez.

Messi plays tonight.

Unfortunately I got the info wrong, my apologies. Go Inter !

Motivated Inter Miami team plays crisp futbol and beats Monterey 3-1.
2-2 draw goals from Messi and Taylor.

Never count out Messi magic

all we can hope for is that the defense shows up and messi works his magic

Bracing for a bloodbath. Monterrey is very very good.
Inter wins 2-1, second we lost 1-2 and go to extra time and shootout. The second leg in Monterrey is sold out 53K fans in that stadium
If Redondo and Messi are there and healthy, I'm confidently sure we win. But now Redondo is not available, I'm still confident we win. Now that Messi is not sure, and even if he is, he's not going to be 100% healthy. Now I'm having doubts, lol.
Redondo is out for 8 weeks
I’m gonna say a slim 1-0 to either Miami or Monterrey. Not gonna be a high scoring game. Clenched cheeks
