## Resource

Inter Miami were supposed to dominate—but instead, they’re stumbling out of the gate. We break down whether Lionel Messi is being let down by the roster built around him and if David Beckham and the front office got it wrong. Then we zoom out to the rest of MLS, highlighting the biggest surprises and disappointments so far, including why CF Montréal look completely broken. Finally, we get real about the USMNT and the two biggest fears heading into the World Cup that fans don’t want to admit.
