No fan of Inter Miami whatsoever - nothing to do with the other clown people always want to talk about - but because I watch their local rivals, who are crucially by far the best club in the Florida, but I don't see any reason for criticism here. If a player is deemed as unfit or injured, they shouldn't play, certainly not in a meaningless friendly. This says far more about the idiots paying crazy money to watch an individual rather than the football team and should serve as a warning for those in the US who will continue to pay 10 times the usual match price just because Messi might be on the pitch. It is a team sport, you pay to watch the team, not the individual so don't cry if your favourite player doesn't play.
That's true...but the ones that arranged the friendly know that the whole appeal is Messi being there.
It would be required by contract for the organizers and Inter to announce that Messi won't play beforehand, more than probably nope, but as a PR thing, maybe they should. Yet like I've said before if there was some sort of possibility off a refund if people had this info before hand, more than probably they preffered the PR backlash than loosing money. I trully don't know, the whole thing more than probably isn't illegal or failing to what was agree in the contract, but that's why it's mostly a PR problem.
