SCOOP: a source indicated that Lionel Messi sustained a 2 cm hamstring tear, confirmed via MRI, likely shutting him down for the remainder of the MLS season.
The injury was picked up during Argentina’s WCQ match against Ecuador before being reaggravated against Toronto.
SCOOP: "Inter Miami CF will be announcing the signing of World Cup, 7 time Ballon D’Or, and 4 time Champions League winner Lionel Messi within the next week to a 2.5 year contract pending medical and visa."
This is outside of my typical political reporting, but I have it on good authority that this is true and accurate, with an official announcement potentially coming in the next 72 hours

Per source: Inter Miami CF is close to agreeing to terms with Gerardo “Tata” Martino as the new head coach. He will join the club during the upcoming international break.
That fraudulent club can't even beat the Neville roster. I suggest Óscar Pareja buys a copy of the farmer's almanac because he's going to need it after this season
