With their victory over Sporting Kansas City Tuesday to get the last 16 of the Concacaf Champions Cup, the participation of Inter Miami has been established for this season. Javier Mascherano will supervise a fairly full schedule, while his herons will also have high expectations to win or at least competing in all their competitions. That can be said more easily than done, so it is a good time to see what Miami is involved and how they can be expected to do in every competition. Technically, Major League Soccer has been split into two games with the supporters’ Sheild that is given to the regular seasonal champion and MLS Cup that is awarded to the winner for the play -off phase. That is why they will be split.
Let’s rank:
5. World Cup Club
Faced with teams such as Manchester City, Juventus, Real Madrid and Chelsea, this is a competition where the best that Inter Miami can be expected is to give a good report of themselves. Starting playing in Miami and are attracted to a group with Porto, Palmeiras and Al-Ahly, there is an opportunity for the herons to go out of the group phase, but as soon as things get deeper, they must come across teams such as Bayern Munich, Athletico Madrid and the aforementioned sides can be too much for the rating of the rating sides for the rating sides can be too much too much for the rating sides for the rating sides for the rating sides too much too much for the rating sides.
4. Supporters’ Shield
The Seattle Sounders are the only team that will play in so many competitions this season as Inter Miami and it will cause prioritization for them between what they can put in their entire teams in versus rotate. In particular for Miami, while last season they won the supporters shield and setting a competition record for points with 74, this means that there is even less reason to go too fast for this trophy this season. It does not mean that Mascherano will try to lose games internally, but Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Messi, who rest, is important when the herons quickly play so many games in succession. That will probably lead to fewer points, which means that retaining the shield harden.
3. Leagues Cup
The top teams in Liga MX have improved with jumps and boundaries with movements such as James Rodriguez to Leon and Club America hold their grip on top talent in the region. Monterrey has also tried to benefit from this by signing Sergio Ramos, but it is unknown whether he will even contribute, let alone improve the side that has started on the wrong foot so far. With fewer MLS teams that participate, there is also a better chance for Miami to win this competition than some of those preceding it, but there are still a few that are higher.
2. MLS cup
Over the years, MLS Cup has been about which stars shine the brightest at great moments and in a knockout tournament there is no one who would like you more by your side than Messi. Of course it will be eliminated in the first round of the MLS Cup play -offs for Miami, but it is also something that they have in mind as a motivation. One of the only two domestic trophies that the herons have not won in their history – they have no chance to win the US Open Cup this season because they are not participating in it – to let players rest during the season, a long way will go to ensure that they are fresh if it matters.
1. Concacaf Champions Cup
The simplest competition to win is the one who achieves the least victories and that is the Champions Cup. Already in the round of 16, Miami will be confronted with the Jamaican side Cavalier SC in the next round and could encounter one of the Columbus Crew or Los Angeles FC if they move forward. That will not be an easy path to the last four, but in the Champions Cup there should not be an easy path. But the only thing that the herons have to do is go beyond four teams and they can conquer Concacaf. Simple enough right?
