Inter Miami advances to Leagues Cup Final as Lionel Messi scores his ninth goal in six games.

lionel messi final cup


Just a few weeks into his tenure at Inter Miami, Messi has already climbed to the third spot on the club's all-time scoring chart, a mere 20 goals away from fellow countryman Gonzalo Higuain who occupies the leading position.


Following an initial goal by Josef Martinez for Miami, Messi showcased his brilliance by netting in the 20th minute with a powerful low strike from beyond 30 yards. The ball evaded the outstretched grasp of Union goalkeeper Andre Blake, ricocheted off the right post, and found the back of the net.


Jordi Alba, the seasoned Spanish player, extended Miami's lead with a third goal just before halftime, marking his first goal in four appearances since his recent inclusion in Inter's roster. However, Alejandro Bedoya of Philadelphia managed to pull one back with 17 minutes remaining.


Any hope of a late Union resurgence was quashed as David Ruiz secured a fourth goal for Miami in the 84th minute.


In the parallel Leagues Cup semifinal on Tuesday, Nashville SC triumphed over Monterrey with a 2-0 victory, setting the stage for a final clash against Miami.


The ultimate showdown for the trophy is slated for August 19 in Nashville, Tennessee, as the two teams collide.


The Leagues Cup, an annual tournament that pits MLS teams against Mexico's Liga MX, expanded its scope this year to encompass all teams from both leagues.

Is Threads the Real 'Twitter Killer'? Here's What We Know So Far

  Is Threads the Real 'Twitter Killer'? Here's What We Know So Far Every day seems to bring a new app promising to replace Twitter as the go-to text-based social media platform. With Elon Musk's controversial changes and the growing instability on Twitter, challengers are emerging, and the latest contender is Threads, unveiled by Meta, the parent company of Facebook. The Rise of Threads and its Similarities to Twitter Threads, which gained 30 million users in less than 24 hours, is positioned by Meta as a new space for real-time, public conversations.

Users can engage in liking, reposting, replying to, or quoting threads, and the number of likes and replies on each post is displayed. Accounts can be either public or private. The app focuses on simplicity rather than introducing flashy new featur...

Historischer Sieg in Sonneberg : Robert Sesselmann als erster AfD-Politiker zum Landrat in Deutschland gewählt In einem bemerkenswerten Wahlergebnis hat der AfD-Kandidat Robert Sesselmann den Sieg als Landrat im thüringischen Sonneberg errungen. Mit 52,8 Prozent der Stimmen setzte er sich in der Stichwahl gegen den CDU-Gegenkandidaten Jürgen Köpper durch. Die Wahlbeteiligung lag bei 58,2 Prozent. Die Wahl von Sesselmann markiert einen Meilenstein, da bisher keine andere AfD-Kandidatin oder -Kandidat ein derartiges kommunales Spitzenamt in Deutschland innehatte. Die Protestpartei verzeichnete in den letzten Wochen eine steigende Zustimmung in den Umfragen auf Bundesebene und etablierte sich oft als zweitstärkste Kraft hinter der Union. Trotz der Einstufung der AfD als rechtsextremistischer Verdachtsfall durch den Verfassungsschutz schaffte es die Partei, in Sonneberg einen bedeutenden Erfolg zu erzielen. Die Wahl des AfD-Politikers wird als Signal der Unzufriedenheit interpretiert und w...
