Messi Watch: When Will the Magic Return to Inter Miami?
Ah, Lionel Messi. The name that sends shivers down defenders' spines and makes grandmothers dream of dusty Panini sticker collections. Since gracing Inter Miami with his presence in 2023, Messi-mania has swept through Florida like a hurricane with a head cold (all that excitement, you know?). But recently, there's been a wrench thrown into the magic - an ankle injury sustained during a triumphant Copa America win for Argentina.
So, when can we expect the little maestro back on the pitch, weaving his magic and leaving defenders wondering if they should just take up tiddlywinks instead?
The truth is, it's a bit up in the air. Inter Miami are keeping their cards close to their chest, likely to avoid a stampede of over-caffeinated fans outside the stadium every time Messi coughs. However, whispers suggest it might be a while. We're talking a few weeks, not a quick cameo.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
In the meantime, here's what we can do to cope with Messi-withdrawal:
- Binge watch old Barcelona highlights. Remember that time he made gravity take a vacation? Classic.
- Dust off your old FIFA game. Just pretend you're Messi – it'll be therapeutic (and probably more realistic than your actual football skills).
- Take up origami. You might not be able to bend defenses like Messi, but you can at least fold a mean paper crane.
