Inter Miami finally won a home game at Nu Stadium on the fifth try, 2-0 over Phil Neville\u2019s Portland Timbers, and yet, all anyone is talking about is the silent protest staged by La Familia supporters, who felt Lionel Messi and his teammates were ignoring them by failing to salute them after recent games.<\/p>\n
Adding fuel to the situation was La Familia\u2019s decision to break their silence with a controversial, well-known Argentine chant starting in the 85th minute of the game. Messi stood with his hands on his hips at midfield, eyes squinted, looking over at the North stands, appearing confused and irritated by the chant. After the game, he saluted fans in the East, South and West stands, but not La Familia.<\/p>\n
In this week\u2019s episode of Inside Inter Miami, Apple TV analyst Jake Zivin, who broadcast the game, helps us break down the Sunday drama on and off the field. We also discuss Messi appearing in peak form as the World Cup approaches, Inter Miami on a roll, preview the upcoming game against Philadelphia Union, and we hear interesting interviews with Neville about his last days as Inter Miami coach, his dismissal and Messi\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n
