Messi out of Miami's Leagues Cup quarterfinal vs. Tigres

 Messi picked up a knock during the Leagues Cup group game against Necaxa on Aug. 2, exiting the pitch in the 11th minute. The captain missed the subsequent games against Pumas UNAM and Orlando City SC.

The forward returned for Inter Miami on Saturday, coming onto the pitch as a second-half substitute against the LA Galaxy, recording one goal and one assist in 45 minutes of play. Despite the contributions, head coach Javier Mascherano confirmed Messi exited the match against the Galaxy not 100 percent comfortable, insisting the player would be monitored.

Messi trained separately from the rest of the group in the days leading up to the quarterfinal match, putting his participation in doubt. Mascherano emphasized Messi would not initially be ruled out of the game, but would be carefully observed.

"Leo didn't train with the group; he trained separately. It was a bit like the same situation I described the other day after the game, when he felt uncomfortable during those 45 minutes he played. We'll see during tomorrow's training," Mascherano said Tuesday.

"But he's not ruled out. He's not ruled out. I can't tell you today if he'll play or not. Because it depends a lot on how he feels."













Messi arrived at Chase Stadium alongside his teammates ahead of kickoff Wednesday but was dressed in street clothes.


He will now watch from the stands as Inter Miami plays without the star No. 10 in its attempt to advance past Liga MX's Tigres to the semifinals of the Leagues Cup.


The club won the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2023, with Messi leading Inter Miami to the trophy following his debut that July.

EDUCATION IS THE THE MILK OF A TIGRESS.

Education is the milk of a tigress. Whoever drinks it is bound to roar. This is not just a slogan — it is the nectar for all the oppressed. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar knew that in a deeply unequal and caste-ridden society, education was the only weapon of true liberation. Even today, countless marginalized individuals possess talent, skill, and ambition — but fear, superstition, and systemic traps hold them back. That’s why Babasaheb’s words must echo louder than ever: "Education is the milk of a tigress. Whoever drinks it will roar!" #Ambedkar #EducationForAll #BahujanUnity #Navmantra #SocialReform

Cast and Varna system in India.

 In the Indian social system, you cannot live as a human being simply as a human. An Indian remains confined only within his caste. His economic, social, educational, and cultural formation, as well as his emotional development, are shaped within caste and are destroyed there as well. Whatever collective feeling should exist as a nation or as a society can never truly develop. Why does such dreadful inequality exist? Because it is based on the caste system. The creation of this system was not only to exploit and reduce competition for the benefit of the Brahmin community, but also to ensure that, even though a person possesses ability, skill, and willpower, he remains trapped within his caste or is forced to work only in that sphere. Most importantly, if you show willpower and try to break the caste system, the system confuses you. It makes you believe you can achieve everything, but in reality, you cannot—because you cannot change your emotions, nor can you detach from your rela...
