FC Bocholt Overview

Lionel Messi’s return to the Inter Miami starting lineup turned into a nightmare as the Argentine icon missed his third consecutive penalty in a comprehensive 4-1 defeat to Nashville SC. The Herons were systematically dismantled at Geodis Park, failing to reclaim the top spot in the Eastern Conference on a night where nothing went right for the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.

MLS was typically chaotic on Saturday evening, but Nashville’s rout of Inter Miami offered the clearest indication yet of where the Supporters’ Shield may be headed.

Inter Miami head coach Guillermo Hoyos has refused to confirm whether Lionel Messi will feature in Saturday's crucial MLS clash against Nashville. The Argentine star recently returned to action following the tragic passing of his father, but the club insists he will dictate his own playing schedule.

There were major disappointments for presumptive favorites among MLS sides, and it might yet be a Liga MX outfit that claims Leagues Cup.
