The 2025 MLS All-Star Game in Austin, Texas, was supposed to be the first featuring Lionel Messi after injury kept him out of the 2024 event. That appeared less likely following Monday's first training session.

The "Futbol Americas" crew discuss Javier Masherano's comments regarding Lionel Messi's minutes at the All-Star MLS game.

El Trafico may have been the game of the weekend, but the Philadelphia Union are the team to beat according to ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

From El Clásico to Manchester Derby, here are some of the most notable men's rivalries in soccer around the world.

Playing with a man advantage in the closing minutes, Maya Yoshida scored on a header just before the final whistle as the Los Angeles Galaxy forged a 3-3 tie with host Los Angeles FC in the El Trafico rivalry.
