Well very annoying - Messi isn’t just playing tonight against the Revs, he’s starting!!

 

And the Revs said welcome to Boston scoring seconds into the game. 

La pulga metió dos goles. 🇦🇷/🇲🇽/🇪🇸

✌️

Deux buts! 🇫🇷/🇨🇦

…and a late assist to Suarez.

In case you love the rioplatense accent like I do, Argentina 🇦🇷 (and Uruguay 🇺🇾 & Paraguay 🇵🇾) of the MLS are looking to add another piece to their puzzle of North American dominance!

¡¡FIDEO viene!!

Messi doesn’t like it, but the MLS is probably the test league for an awesome new rule. 

Messi unhappy with MLS sideline rule despite Miami victory

Inter Miami's Lionel Messi expressed his anger over the new Major League Soccer rule that forces an injured player to the sideline for two minutes, saying, "These types of rules...it's going bad," after exiting the pitch during a 3-2 victory over host Montréal on Saturday night.

In the 40th minute of the match, Montréal defender George Campbell fouled the Argentine forward, forcing him to go down immediately while holding his knee. Miami's medical staff rushed to the scene to attend to the player, but Campbell did not receive a yellow card for the incident.

Because of new MLS regulations, "If the referee stops play due to a potential player injury in which the player remains on the ground for more than 15 seconds and the medical staff enters the field of play, the player may be required to leave the field of play for two minutes."

Messi exited the pitch in a crucial moment, after the foul inspired a free kick for Miami in a prime position for the player to score.

During his brief stint on the sideline, the player turned to the camera to express disdain while angrily shaking his head.

Following the game, Miami coach Gerardo Martino expressed the team's frustration over the new rule by adding: "There are situations that must be revised.

IN SUMMARY:

I absolutely love this rule. 

I can see why a league in the USA & Canada would be more than happy to test out this new rule. With football & hockey being the two biggest sports in the region, fans don’t like the bullshit. 

College football, and especially the SEC, needs to enact some kind of similar rule, but much more than “2 minutes”.

Messi, Suárez, and Busquets aren't gonna make it with the team to Vancouver this weekend. Vancouver FC trying to get out ahead of the outrage. Honestly 50% off food and bev is a pretty decent sorry.gif.d98717df9687e9174dccfeca5ae6022b.gif offering for something they have zero control over

Lol, I just watched Miami down 2 men and they beat Philadelphia 2-1 scoring a late breakaway. They were tied 1-1 and Miami lost 2 men after that. Then the late breakaway. 

That was nuts

Dallas fired their manager and actually scored in their first game since ridding themselves of Berhalter’s former assistant coach. 

Scored TWICE actually.

Don’t think that they have won by two goals all season.

Mikey is making his home/MLS debut tonight in the St. Louis v Atlanta game in St. Louis.

He made his big team debut in February in the CONCACAF game in Houston. He’s #40 for St. Louis.

The team needs an infusion of talent, especially on offense.

I don’t follow the MLS much but what the hell is a best of 3 playoff series in a 16 team knockout tournament? Some of the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen in sports. 

You say that’s stupid and you haven’t even looked at the rest of the playoffs where they use single games for each subsequent round.
