The 2025 MLS Cup final " Messi and Inter Miami vs. M'ller and the Vancouver Whitecaps " is going to draw a few comparisons from a personnel standpoint to the 2014 World Cup final and 2010 World Cup quarterfinal matches between Argentina and Germany. Germany, with M'ller, won both times. Messi played in those matches for Argentina, as did Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano. They'll all meet again on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, with M'ller surely knowing that facing Messi doesn't automatically mean a loss. "It's not about Messi against Thomas M'ller," he told reporters after Vancouver's 3-1 win over San Diego in the Western Conference final on Saturday night. "It's Miami against the Whitecaps." Then he added, "Maybe they rely a little bit more on him than we do on me, because we…...

McLaren still has two drivers in contention, with Oscar Piastri four points behind Verstappen in third, but must stop the slide. Last Sunday, the two drivers lost a combined 30 points after both were disqualified following the race, won by Verstappen. At the Qatar GP, Norris would have clinched his first F1 title with a win but finished fourth, with Piastri placing second having started from pole position and looking assured. But after an early safety car, McLaren's decision to keep both drivers out backfired badly as Verstappen effectively benefited from a free…...
