The waiting is over! The time for the 2025 Club World Cup is finally upon us.

And up first is one of the MLS teams involved as Inter Miami are in action against Al Ahly at Hard Rock Stadium.
We’ll have plenty of build-up over the next few hours, so stick with us!

Each time the Mets have called on an infield prospect, fans on social media have demanded playing time for the flashy newcomer, often at the expense of McNeil, no longer new or flashy. But a funny thing keeps happening. McNeil […]
