Eight goals in one half, most in MLS history — and Miami still had to come from behind to win it. Let that sit. Inter Miami Daily, Wednesday. We're finally giving that May 25 Philly game the full rewind — record book on one side, the back line on the other. The league is selling the eight. We're gonna count the four Miami gave up. Let's start there. Follow the show and the next briefing lands in your feed on its own. MLS is tracking this one. The league put the official stamp on it — eight goals in the first half against Philadelphia on May 25, the most ever in a single MLS half. Their own YouTube channel is selling it as a milestone. And I've been pointing at this exact game all week because of that back line. Miami shipped four of those eight before halftime. Four! That's the tension for me. You post an all-time record and walk off 6-4 — historic going forward, alarming going the other way. Iloski had a hat trick before the break, against the team you're supposed to beat. A hat trick. Before halftime. The attack was electric and the defense was a turnstile in the same forty-five minutes — which is basically Miami right now. And here's the number that travels: 1.27 million views on the clip. The league is marketing the eight goals; Miami fans are still counting the four they gave up. Same footage, two completely different highlight reels depending on who you root for. And this is the last competitive look before a five-week gap. So when Mascherano builds his July sub plan — does a back line that gives up four in a half make him hold his subs a little tighter? It should. That's my Chicago worry on July 22, at home, without the full spine. The same team you set the record against also exposed you. I want to enjoy the record. I can't quite.
