The boss of the world’s soccer regulatory body said that Inter Miami showed that in the United States They are consistently the best club on the playing field. and redoubled the bet by ensuring that it is even one of the best in the world. Still, according to The New York Timesthere are two key points to disagree with that statement.
The first is that the club David Beckham is still not the best in the MLS, because the tournament is not over yet and Inter is only the one that obtained the most points in the regular season of the Eastern Conference, which is one of the two divisions in which it is organized. In the analogy they drew with this, they used Celtic from Scotland, which is not the best team in the United Kingdom just for having won the Scottish league countless times.
The other point they emphasized is that it is not among the main institutions in the world for the simple reason that they did not face European teams.. It has elite players such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Sergio Busquets in the squad, but that does not guarantee anything, according to the NOW.

This special contest will have the presence of the best clubs from each continent, the champions and the best positioned in the continental rankings, and in the case of Las Garzas they earned the right to participate. for obtaining the Supporters’ Shield, a recognition that is awarded to the team that added the most points in the Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season, regardless of what happens in the play-offs.
It is assumed that the main reason is economic because the Argentine star is required to be part of the competition, although From the sporting point of view there are reasons. Those from Miami have just broken the tournament record with the most points earned in a regular seasonthey have 74 in 34 dates, and last season they became champions of the Leagues Cup, a tournament that also brings together teams from Mexico.
