Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham told Minnesota United to “show a little respect” following an Instagram post that mocked his club in the aftermath of their 4-1 defeat in the Major League Soccer (MLS) on Saturday, May 10.
Lionel Messi got on the scoresheet in the second half, but two goals for Minnesota in either half ensured Inter Miami suffered a fourth defeat in their last five games across competitions.
After the match, Minnesota United couldn’t resist taking a dig at their Eastern Conference rivals as they posted a picture from the game on Instagram. They also included a snapshot of the league table showing Minnesota United moving above Inter Miami and captioned it “Pink Phony Club.” The term is a reference to the Herons’ kit colour and the song Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan.
The post, however, didn’t sit well with David Beckham, who commented:
Minnesota weren’t done yet as they posted another picture of a banner from the game that read:
David Beckham again commented on the post, writing,
Inter Miami’s 4- 1 loss to Minnesota United was their heaviest defeat since Lionel Messi joined the club in July 2023. The Herons won the Supporters’ Shield last season, and they did it in style, accumulating 74 points, which was the highest point total to win the league in a regular MLS season.
David Beckham has been urged by the club’s fans to fire Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano after they were walloped 4-1 at Minnesota (via talkSPORT). Mascherano, who took over the managerial reins at Miami in November, is on the course to become the worst manager in the club’s history.
After the match, the Argentine tactician said Minnesota’s third goal made it difficult for them to win and insisted that he was responsible for the team’s poor performance.
He said (via talkSPORT):
He added:
However, the match results didn’t sit well with the Inter Miami faithful, as they demanded the sacking of Mascherano after the defeat, as per talkSPORT.
An ardent Chelsea fan, Ezekiel’s journey as a football fan began in his childhood, witnessing Ronaldinho dazzle with his skills. His interest in the beautiful game deepened after Nigeria were knocked out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup; he was impressed with the Super Eagles’ fighting spirit in their 2-2 Group B draw against South Korea. Some other World Cup matches which have left a deep impact on him were Belgium’s incredible comeback against Japan in the round of 16 of the 2018 version and the 2022 final.
Lionel Messi is the one true GOAT for Ezekiel and he also follows the Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League owing to him and Cristiano Ronaldo. When not writing, he spends his free time deepening his SEO knowledge and watching skits.
