Summary
Four years ago, we launched the very first episode of Battered Herons. What better way to celebrate our anniversary than during what feels like the Summer of Messi? Lionel Messi has completely taken over the 2026 FIFA World Cup. From becoming the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history to scoring 5 goals in his first two matches, every day seems to bring another legendary moment. But it isn’t just the goals. Messi has become the face of football once again, and it even feels like he’s influencing the culture of the game—from his record-breaking performances to seeing pink boots everywhere across the tournament after making pink synonymous with Inter Miami. Thank you to everyone who has supported Battered Herons over these last four years. Here’s to many more! Present. Future. Herons. #InterMiami #InterMiamiCF #Messi #LionelMessi #TheSummerOfMessi #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup #BatteredHerons #Herons #MLS #Football #Soccer #MessiMagic #WorldCupRecord #PinkBoots #Miami #MiamiSoccer #MiamiFans #BatteredFans #GoHerons
