Right, I'll admit it — I've no business caring this much about a Florida football club, but Messi's been putting on a masterclass lately (that brace against Atlanta United had the group chat in bits) and watching Inter Miami has become my odd little ritual. Here's where I actually catch the matches and nurse a gin while Dublin does its thing around me — pubs with the right screens, the right pints, and staff who won't bat an eyelid when I roar at a VAR decision at half ten on a Saturday.
