When are Inter Miami in action next?

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami won’t have to wait too long to attempt to make up for today’s shambolic performance.

Their next match takes place this Sunday at 8am GMT, 3am ET, midnight PT, a friendly against the Hong Kong XI.

Tata, Busquets unhappy with referee

At full time, Sergio Busquets attempts to argue something with the referee.

Tata Martino takes his place and starts complaining about the six minutes of stoppage time. Did he want more time? Less? Who can say?

That’s really not the six he needs to be worried about…

FT: Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

The referee whistles for full time a good dozen seconds before the broadcast’s feed shows that the six minutes are up.

Running out the clock

90+5′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

Al Nassr are simply playing keep away at this point as stoppage time dwindles down. That suits Messi just fine, given he has a slight muscular issue to protect against.

Second-half stoppage time

90+1′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

Six minutes are added on to the end of the match. Six minutes left in Miami’s embarrassment.

Crowd enjoying brief Messi appearance

90′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

The crowd is cheering every time Messi gets on the ball, though he hasn’t been able to string together too many touches in the few minutes he’s been on here.

This is what everyone was waiting for

86′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

The crowd literally has not sat down yet.

Reminder: it is 6-0 in the 86th minute.

I should now specify that it’s the fans in my section behind the goal. Other, more sane fans have taken their seats.

Lionel Messi comes on as sub

83′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

Finally, at 82:47, the ball went out of play and Messi was announced. He walked on just before the clock struck 83:00. On a night when his team was being beat 6-0, the home Al Nassr crowd stood and chanted his name, though it sounded like some also booed.

At 83:46 with his first touches of the game he gets another ovation and nearly sets up a chance.

Messi coming on

81′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

With the clock showing 80:59, Messi took the pinnie off and threw it to the bench. The crowd stood. He approached midfield and the cameras came up. Whistles sounded as play continued on the field not allowing him to come into the game.

Five subs by Al Nassr

80′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

Al Nassr make a whole bundle of changes, bringing off hat-trick scorer Talisca in addition to several others, and replacing them with some of their younger squad members:

Khaled Kamal replaces Otávio
Muhammad Sahlouli replaces Talisca
Marzouq Tambakti replaces Aymeric Laporte
Mohammed Qasem replaces Alex Telles
Meshari Al Nemer replaces Mohammed Maran

Miami embarrassed

78′ Al Nassr 6-0 Inter Miami

After a long review, that would be a sixth goal for Al Nassr and a Ronaldo signature celebration for the whole crowd to enjoy after.

This has been a ROUGH night for Inter Miami.

Talisca goal ruled offside

73′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami

Talisca fires the ball into the back of the net on a breakaway, momentarily giving him a hat-trick, but the flag goes up for offside.

VAR is checking the call though…

The people want Messi

72′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami

“Gotta give the people what they want,” Twellman says as Messi warms up. I don’t think the people want Messi to aggravate an injury, but hey.

Messi warming up…

69′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami

The crowd has just stood and cheered. No, not for DeAndre Yedlin and Robert Taylor entering the game, but for Lionel Messi getting up to warm up. The fans stayed on their feet as he jogged up and down the sideline and the game resumed. All eyes were in that corner of the field.

Luiz Suarez and Jordi Alba made way for the two Miami subs.

GOAL! Al Nassr add a fifth!

68′ Al Nassr 5-0 Inter Miami

Gressel fails to win a header at the back post, allowing the ball to drift over to Mohammed Maran, whose has a simple header to find the back of the net and get Al Nassr’s fifth.

Callender saves chip shot

67′ Al Nassr 4-0 Inter Miami

Mohammed Maran is played through on goal and attempts to chip Callender, forcing a reaction save from the Miami goalkeeper.

Not for the first time tonight, the world feed broadcast nearly missed the play coming back from a replay.

Jeff Hafley drops cold line about expectations for Dolphins

Jeff Hafley drops cold line about expectations for Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have gone full rebuild mode during the 2026 offseason. Miami hired Jeff Hafley at head coach and promptly gutted the roster of veteran talent, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins plan to completely rebuild the organization from the ground up, which includes installing a brand new culture.

Hafley dropped a cold line at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting about setting a standard for his team. He gave an example of expecting his to perform despite adversity, including Miami’s intense heat.

“We’re going to sit down and have that conversation, and then don’t get mad at me when it’s 110 degrees and you don’t feel like doing it anymore,” Hafley said per team transcripts. “I’m going to make you do it because you told me when you were comfortable in this meeting room, in air conditioning, that that’s what you wanted and I’m going to remind you of that.”

Hafley wants his coaching staff to follow his lead, holding players accountable during practice sessions. If the Dolphins truly want to be a great team, that could be a necessary step.

“It’s going to be a shared vision and then my job and our job as coaches is to hold them to that, because if you’re telling me you want to be up here and be this great, OK, well this is what we’re going to do,” Hafley added.

One reason why Hafley’s approach could be smart is because Miami is about to add a ton of young talent.

Miami gained the 30th overall pick after trading Jaylen Waddle, giving them two first-round picks in April’s draft. The Dolphins will enter the draft with 11 total picks, allowing them to install the foundation of their roster for years to come.

It will be exciting to see Miami’s new culture take shape under Hafley’s leadership.

Trump shares renderings of his presidential library — a massive skyscraper in Miami

Trump shares renderings of his presidential library — a massive skyscraper in Miami

President Donald Trump on Monday teased the plans for his presidential library in Miami.

Trump posted a video on Truth Social that shows a tall, glass building with a large needle on top. The building has his last name in gold lettering across its facade, an American flag hanging down the middle and a presidential plane displayed on the first floor. (A Boeing 747 given to Trump by the Qatari government is set to be displayed in his presidential library once he leaves office.)

The size of the proposed building dwarfs the nearby Freedom Tower, a downtown Miami landmark that carries special significance to Cuban immigrants in Florida — a key demographic that helped Trump win historically blue Miami-Dade County in 2024.

The video also shows replicas from Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade featuring his so-called presidential walk of fame and his anticipated ballroom.

The presidential library will be designed by the Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil.

The site of the library — a prime piece of Miami real estate that borders the city’s waterfront — is a nearly 3-acre property valued at more than $67 million. The parcel became the source of a legal battle last fall after a federal judge paused the transfer of the land from a local college to the state. The judge ultimately threw out the case in December and allowed the transfer to continue.

The proposed site is not far from Trump National Doral, a resort owned by Trump’s family business.

In his Truth Social post sharing the video, Trump also included a link where people can donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation Inc.
