Lionel Messi will not play in Inter Miami’s league home match against FC Dallas on Sunday. The Argentine star winger was not in the starting lineup or among the reserves when the club released its roster before the match.

It was the stars and big names of Inter Miami against the blue collar mentality of Vancouver. Miami has Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Mascherano himself is a name that still resonates loudly in the football world. The Whitecaps’ star? American center forward Brian White, as unheralded a hero as they come.

Inter Miami's unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer this season came to an end with a 4-3 loss against FC Dallas on April 27 at Chase Stadium.The Herons were going strong without a single loss in their first eight matches this season.
