Slow and easily beaten -- Messi's Miami project risks global embarrassment

Inter Miami lost 3-1 to Vancouver Whitecaps in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-final second leg on Wednesday at Chase Stadium.
The defeat followed a team built around Messi and aging former Barcelona teammates, whose physical limitations showed against a faster, younger Vancouver side.
Vancouver's Danish coach Jasper Sorensen praised his team for exploiting open spaces, while Miami's coach Javier Mascherano faced criticism for benching younger players.
Fox analyst Warren Barton criticized Inter Miami’s defense, saying Vancouver effectively highlighted their vulnerabilities by pointing out the team’s lack of pace and defensive solidity.
The loss raises concerns Miami risks global embarrassment and highlights the need for younger players to support Messi in upcoming challenges like the Club World Cup.
