The Caf's Ezza.
Wait until he negotiates himself a share of PSG as part of his next contractHow many football clubs does the legendary Neymar own?
Didn't think so.

I think the badge is brilliant, a clear reference to db and vb in the herons legs crossing and well as the M for miami.So Beckham's team is due to make it's debut when the MLS kicks off next month. With that in mind, I have some questions. Why do they have two herons on the badge? Why did Becks choose such a shit name for his club? Why did he choose an even shitter name for his investment group, 'Miami Beckham United'? And finally, what's with the shittest name of all, Inter Miami's stadium: Freedom Park LLC ?
With all that in mind, and considering that the opening sentence of their Wikipedia 'history' begins "In November 2012, MLS commissioner Don Garber confirmed the league's renewed interest in placing an expansion franchise in Miami,[3] after the Miami Fusion folded following the 2001 season...", can we agree that Inter Miami are the most heinous club in the history of sports, objectively even more so than Liverpool?
They were allowed to pick 5 players from other teams in the league in the expansion draft. Players who were left unprotected by their club. Then yes, they’ve just signed the rest the same as any new team does.Maybe a silly question, but where did all the players come from? Did they just buy 23 players from other clubs/academies?
@Inter Yer NanWill Inter also be suing the 7000 teams in the uk 7aside leagues called inter yernan?
Any mug can do that. Just like scoring goals in the Copa America qualifiers.Wait until he negotiates himself a share of PSG as part of his next contract
Inter stole Milan from AC. We’ve got ammo.
Clubs called Inter besides Internazionale:
SC Internacional (Brazil)
Inter Sibiu (Romania)
Inter Turku (Finland)
Inter Bratislava (Slovakia, on hold)
Inter Zapresic (Croatia)
International Curtea de Arges (Romania)
Esporte Club Internacional (two clubs in Brazil)
Associacao Atletica Internacional (another one from Brazil)
Inter Luanda (Angola)
Inter Baku (Azebaijan)
Inter Club d'Escaldes (Andorra)
Inter Leipzig (German)
Inter de Grand-Goave (Haiti)
Inter Moengoatpoe (Suriname)
A popular TV station in the Ukraine is called Inter.
All of this already exists but somehow Inter Miami is not cool. This reminds me when DC sued Valencia because they deemed the bat design in their new logo to closely resemble the Batman logo.
Trademarks law work this way. The ones with more money win.That's not how trademarks work. Inter Milan registered a patent on the use of the name Inter in the US specifically. In hopes of protecting it for commercial use.
The case will probably be thrown out though, because Inter Miami is derived from the club's full name (CF Internacional de Miami).
If Tiger Woods can be worth a bill I can't see why Beckham couldn't be getting there. He's worked with enough companies.There's no way Becks has a net worth of 900m.
Presumably with Beckham involved they’re actually worried about it affecting their brand this time.Clubs called Inter besides Internazionale:

Yes, and they still have the weird crown on top of their crest.Do Real Salt Lake still exist?
Touts outside the ground i'd imagine will be a simple solution - who knows whether it'll be expensive though. What are MLS ticket prices usually?
I'd suggest the best thing to do is fire a PM over to @Eboue. He'll collect tickets and meet you near the ground.
They aren’t on sale yet.
you won't see himCheers all. Will highly likely sack it off, as apparently Miami has a rugby team and John Cena plays for them. Sounds way better.
They should think about the positive affect it can have on their brand. Inter Miami being your local team, you start watching football outside of the US or play FIFA and notice another team called Inter that are pretty good. That's a way to get new fans.If Tiger Woods can be worth a bill I can't see why Beckham couldn't be getting there. He's worked with enough companies.

the nickname rosanegra is also quite bad, kits are pretty shit too
Tiger is the face of a rich man's sport and still relevant today. Beckham's sponsorship deals pales in comparison to Tiger's.If Tiger Woods can be worth a bill I can't see why Beckham couldn't be getting there. He's worked with enough companies.

Doubt it. As a comparison, Paul Macartney is worth $1.2Billion. Not only has Paul been around much longer but has produced/offered a lot more.
Miami RoversSome alternatives:
Miami FC
Miamiham
Miami United
Real Miami
Miami City
AC Miami
MIAMI JOGA BONITO

Beckham was one of the best players in the world in his prime. For much of the world he is also the face of the biggest sport on the planet.Tiger is the face of a rich man's sport and still relevant today. Beckham's sponsorship deals pales in comparison to Tiger's.
Paul McCartney and Tiger are legends for what did they in their own respective fields. You can argue that Beckham got popular largely due to self-promotion. Its no comparison really.
If you are talking about him and Victoria combined, maybe. If its just Becks alone, I highly doubt it. He owns Inter Miami together with Softbank. Its not like he forked 200m out of his own pocket.Beckham was one of the best players in the world in his prime. For much of the world he is also the face of the biggest sport on the planet.
MLS clubs alone are worth $200m+. Beyond that we don’t know what his invest portfolio looks like. His deals with the likes of Adidas and H&M will be worth loads and he likely has plenty of real estate investment. He’s very clearly business inclined and knows what he’s doing and is surrounded by people that know what they’re doing. He very well could be worth close to $900m.
I look after some high profile clients and some of them are worth loads and they aren’t even 1/10 the figure Beckham is.
He sold part of his share of Inter Miami. He didn’t just hand it out to SoftBank for free. So whether he still owns Inter Miami or sold half of it for $100m he’ll still have that asset.If you are talking about him and Victoria combined, maybe. If its just Becks alone, I highly doubt it.

He is rich and very popular but I really doubt he is Jordan or Tiger rich (the sub $1b). They have the luxury of being insanely popular in Amercia.
Would actually be quite fun for the forum to get behind actively supporting Beckham's team. I definitely plan on going to see them when they play in Canada.
Manchester United?I might be wrong here, but I swear I saw on Facebook another new team in the MLS, from North Carolina, simply called 'Charlotte'.
At first I laughed then I thought I actually really like that. It's more in line with traditional English names like Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea etc rather than following the trend of adding a suffix or prefix to the city's name, in typical American fashion.
Big fan of that team name.
Yeah, the 'Miami' part.The Miami Hotspur has some real class about it.
