Got a few proper talking points for Sunday’s clash – it’s not just another MLS fixture.
1
Latino Celebration Night lights up the stadium
The Crew are rolling out a Latino Celebration Night, courtesy of Sherwin‑Williams, for the Inter Miami showdown on Sunday. Expect the vibe to be as lively as the crowd, with a proper party atmosphere on the pitch.
2

Inter Miami will head into Columbus with just eight players available – Messi’s squad has been trimmed by seven teammates thanks to the FIFA break. That’s a big chunk of the roster missing for the match.

Federico Higuain shown the door over referee incident
In a shock move, Columbus have sacked manager Federico Higuain after an inappropriate incident with a female referee and his refusal to apologise. The coaching change adds a fresh layer of drama to the game.
