Mez has been in fine form since joining Internacional Mayami, helping the team to the League Cup final last weekend, beating Nashville in a 12-yard shootout and scoring an unstoppable goal in the match.
Misi scored on his debut for InterMiami, and in the 94th minute, he scored the winning goal, and has scored in all seven of his League Cup matches. Although he failed to score for the first time in the USL Cup quarterfinals against FC Cincinnati on Wednesday, he did hand out two assists and scored a goal in a 12-yard shootout to lead his team to the final.
In other words, Mays has already won a trophy and made it to the finals of another Cup, and now I can't wait to see him make his US debut in the International Maia visit to the New York Red Bulls.
Misi's two former Barcelona teammates, Busquets and Zodi Ebba, have also joined Internacional Mayami, and even though the team is at the bottom of the East Coast League table, I'm confident that they'll be able to move up to the top of the table in no time as they've added world-class players to their front, center, and back lines.
The New York Red Bulls beat D.C. United 1-0 on Monday, but their goal-scoring ability was spotty, failing to score an average of one goal per league game. Last season's top scorer, Levi Morgan, is out with an injury, which has had a serious impact on the team, but I believe that the two strikers, Elias Venloure and Dante Vincea, are capable of scoring more goals.
I think the New York Red Bulls' flanking and dead-ball offense is quite dangerous, but the most worrying thing is always how to block Mays. Neither man-to-man tactics nor keeping him at arm's length will do much good.
