What is Inter Miami’s biggest loss in their history?
The US Open Cup final did not go as planned for The Herons, who were thumped from the first minute by Houston Dynamo.
Inter Miami not playing with Lionel Messi in the side during the US Open Cup final was already a huge blow, added to the fact that they were coming up against a Houston Dynamo side who were fully up for the fight.
As such, the Texan team whipped Miami for the first 45 minutes, causing the all-conquering pink wave to disappear from the off and concede two fantastically worked goals. Now, I might be jumping the gun with this, but don’t look like that - you’re here too - so let’s agree that we’re both just pessimists.
The laws of time dictate that Inter Miami are not yet a team with a rich history - it’s being written now - but they have already suffered some crushing defeats as they take their first steps in the world of American soccer.
The impact that Messi has had on his side is undeniable, but there was indeed life BM (before Messi) in Los Angeles, and the side have played in the Eastern Conference since 2020.

Here’s a list of Miami’s biggest wins. You may notice the dates on a lot of these games: they’re all very recent and have come AM (after Messi). As I often say, it helps greatly having one of football’s best-ever players in your team.
