Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba have been teammates for 12 seasons. If that’s going to continue after this year, it’ll evidently mean they’re both staying with Inter Miami.

Inter Miami’s brutal run of form continued on Wednesday as they threw away a first-minute lead to eventually claw back a late equalizer against the San Jose Earthquakes, leaving California with a single point.

Dickerson was not the only person who reacted strongly to Messi's petulant behavior. Current San Jose and former United States Men's National Team coach Bruce Arena had to intervene in order to save the Inter Miami star from himself. "That's universal language when you're talking about referees," Arena said with a grin after the game.
