Four years ago, we launched the very first episode of Battered Herons. What better way to celebrate our anniversary than during what feels like the Summer of Messi?

Lionel Messi has completely taken over the 2026 FIFA World Cup. From becoming the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history to scoring 5 goals in his first two matches, every day seems to bring another legendary moment.

But it isn’t just the goals.

Messi has become the face of football once again, and it even feels like he’s influencing the culture of the game—from his record-breaking performances to seeing pink boots everywhere across the tournament after making pink synonymous with Inter Miami.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Battered Herons over these last four years. Here’s to many more!

Present. Future. Herons.

Inter Miami's influence on the 2026 World Cup continues to grow!

On this episode of Battered Herons, we break down how the Herons are performing on the world's biggest stage, highlighted by Lionel Messi's historic start to the tournament. Messi has scored 5 goals in his first 2 World Cup matches and now stands alone as the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history.

We also discuss what this incredible run means for Inter Miami, the impact of the club's players throughout the tournament, and the exciting addition of 18-year-old center back Fricio Caicedo as the Herons continue building for both the present and the future.

The first half of Inter Miami's 2026 season is officially complete, and with the Club World Cup break here, it's time to evaluate where this team stands.

After a turbulent start under Javier Mascherano, ownership made the decision to bring in Guillermo Hoyos. Since then, we've seen signs of improvement, but major questions remain.

On this episode of Battered Herons, we discuss:

Has Inter Miami improved under Guillermo Hoyos?

Is Hoyos the long-term answer for this club?

What has gone right so far in 2026?

What has gone wrong?

The biggest surprises of the season

Defensive issues that still haven't been solved

How concerned should fans be about Messi's injury?

What moves should the club make during the break?

What must improve before MLS play resumes?

Join us live as we look back at one of the most dramatic and unpredictable starts to a season in Inter Miami history.

• Cómo encajaría junto a Messi y Busquets
