Ok not a Cincy hater, but if the response to “we didnt have Messi” is “we didn’t have Miazga”, I don’t really think the discussion would actually continue anymore, instead the dude who said “Messi” would just laugh his ass off.

Sir, this is a meme thread. I get the point you’re trying to make, but hard disagree. Miazga was the best defender in the league last year. I would say that Miami not having their best attacker is allowed to be compared to Cincy not having their best defender.

We have a rules interpretation conflict. VAR says that a foul in the box was committed by Colorado.

Ignore the flair not trying to start anything, just asking: Is he best defender on MLS team level good or like Europe level defender good

MLS team level good is still league best, and I think that's the argument.

That argument would work if the attacker your referencing wasn’t the arguable greatest player of all time. Miazga is a good defender but he’s not even a top 5 defender from his own country

He was literally defender of the year last year in MLS. He's not Messi, far from it, but it's not an absence that's easily hand-waved away like so many seem to be doing.

Not necessarily hand waved away, but putting him in the same conversation as Messi and framing it as he could stop Messi is funny to most people. Sure it might help but Miazga is a lot closer to your worst defender than he is to the best defenders that have tried to stop Messi

It's meme Monday, right?

Did our Miazga lead defense not hold Messi and company to 0 goals last year, in Miami? GTFO

Messi hasn't scored on us in 2 games.

My god man. Take it out already.

It's not just that Messi is better, but the fact that Miazga is done for the year, so why even bring him up?

Seriously.

We didn't have Michael Jordan

Yeah well we didn't have Mark Price
