Fans demand Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami contract ‘terminated ASAP’ after spotting what he did during loss to Vissel Kobe
FANS are labelled Lionel Messi ‘disgusting’ and called for his contract to be terminated for laughing after his team-mate missed a penalty.
Inter Miami took on Vissel Kobe in a friendly at the Japan National Stadium.
The clash saw Messi line up alongside Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez but the former Barcelona trio could not find a breakthrough in the 0-0 draw.
A penalty shoot-out followed to decide the winner and Vissel Kobe blinked first, but then Robert Taylor blazed over the bar from 12 yards.
That bizarrely sparked laughter from Messi and his team-mates Jordi Alba and DeAndre Yedlin.
Fans fumed in response as Vissel Kobe went on to win the shoot-out, with one labelling the superstar a “disgusting leader”.
Another added: “His contract should be terminated ASAP. Ridiculous.”
A third wrote: “Such a disgusting guy man, how can he laugh?”
And another commented: “My captain would NEVER.”
Inter Miami are in the Far East on their pre-season tour and took on a Hong Kong XI last week.

But fans were left outraged and demanded their money back after Messi was left on the bench, with Miami owner David Beckham even booed by the crowd.
Messi, 36, revealed he was injured and expressed his disappointment that he was unable to play.
He said: “Unfortunately in football things can happen in any game, that we may have an injury. It happened to me.
“I couldn’t play in the Hong Kong match, and it was a shame because I always wanted to participate, I wanted to be there and even more so when it came to these matches.
“When we travelled so far and people were so excited to see our matches…I hope we can return and we play another game and I can play as I do whenever I can.
“But the truth is that it is a game that I was not able to participate.”
Boyzone announce partnership with English football club as fans ‘check calendar to see if it’s April Fools’ Day’
BAFFLED football fans had to check if it was April Fools’ Day after a non-league club revealed an incredible partnership with Boyzone.
No Matter What Chorley FC supporters had on their plans for today, celebrating news about the iconic Irish boy band was surely not on the list.

Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch and Keith Duffy are all set to be in attendance at the Lancashire club’s Victory Park stadium for Saturday’s FA Trophy clash on Saturday.
Westlife’s Brian McFadden is also expected to be at the cup game.
London-based entrepreneur Prince Yemoh and his Reset Events Ltd company took over Chorley last May and immediately stated his intention to create a “buzz” around the town.
And the shock arrival of Boyzone to watch Andy Preece’s side in action will certainly do that – undoubtedly sparking a Better turnout than the 783 attendance that watched Chorley’s 3-2 win over Alfreton Town on January 30.
The BBC also report the music group are potentially considering investing into the National League North team and becoming shareholders – especially off the back of celebrity investment at Wrexham.
The club Gave It All Away this morning with a bizarre press release.
Chorley – who stunned Derby to reach the FA Cup fourth round in 2021 – said: “We have just confirmed that world-renowned, Boyzone, will be joining us for our upcoming home game against Solihull Moors in the Isuzu FA Trophy this weekend!
“This collaboration with Boyzone is part of ongoing discussions that could potentially see them becoming the face of the football club.

“This is a game-changer that has the potential to bring our town into the limelight like never before, generating a buzz and publicity that will shine a bright light on Chorley and the local area.
“We are bursting with excitement and gratitude for this incredible opportunity.
“Boyzone’s presence at the game will undoubtedly create an electric atmosphere, filled with music, joy and a shared love for football and a close-knit, family community.”
And fans on Twitter were simply lost for Words.
One said: “If it was April 1st I would have said this was an April Fools’ joke. The statement is an incredible read.”
Another wrote: “Checking the calendar to see if it’s April 1st. Not only bizarre but claiming excitement about someone coming to watch a football match.”
A third added: “Great exposure for the club.”
But a final user was jokingly disappointed and replied: “Thought it was a new striker incoming.”
It is so far, So Good for Chorley this season.
They currently sit sixth in the National League North, 20 points behind runaway leaders Tamworth but on course for a play-off place.
But even When The Going Gets Tough, the loyal Magpies fans could be buoyed by new owners in the north-west if the Boyzone deal gets over the line.
The pop stars came together under countryman Louis Walsh in 1993 and took the music scene by storm in the 1990s.
Boyzone – who tragically lost singer Stephen Gately when he died in Mallorca in 2009 aged just 33 – have had six UK No1 singles and five albums that have topped the charts.
They initially split up in 2000 before regrouping in 2007 for another stint, finishing with their Thank You & Goodnight studio album and arena tour in 2018.
And after initially quashing suggestions of a 30th-anniversary reunion, it appears the band are getting back together.
The Mirror report they will confirm their plans to perform a series of gigs at Chorley’s 975-seater home ground at Saturday’s clash against Solihull Moors.
And it will surely be the hottest ticket in town with every Father And Son desperate to watch the Irishmen on stage.

Star Wars Fans Wanting Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 Should “Write To Disney,” Ewan McGregor Says
Star Wars actor and tea enthusiast Ewan McGregor has called on fans to help convince Disney to greenlight a second series of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The first season ran for six episodes in 2022 and starred McGregor in his signature role as the popular Jedi master, but since then, Disney has been more focused on The Mandalorian and future Star Wars film projects.
Speaking at MegaCon Orlando 2024, McGregor revealed how there were originally plans to film an Obi-Wan Kenobi film before Disney settled on producing a TV series. That format worked out well for fleshing out Kenobi’s years in exile after the fall of the Republic, and McGregor believes that there are still more Kenobi stories left to tell.
It was originally going to be a movie, but I kind of think it’s better we did it that way. It’s a longer story and more satisfying as a result,” McGregor said. “We got more time to weave a story. I just hope we do another one. Can everyone write to Disney? Just say ‘Dear Disney, let’s have a bit more of Obi-Wan Kenobi please.'”

Good news, Spy x Family fans, Code: White finally has a US release date
Following its release in Japan last year, Sony Pictures and Crunchyroll have confirmed a US release date for Spy x Family Code: White.
If you’ve been eagerly awaiting news of a western release date for Spy x Family Code: White, you’ll be happy to hear that the film will come to US cinemas April 19, screening both the Japanese dub with English subtitles, and the English dub. Unfortunately for those of us over here in the UK and Europe, a release date hasn’t been confirmed just yet, so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for any news in that direction. The film was released in Japan last December 22, and features an original story separate from the main events of the manga and anime (meaning even if you miss it, it’s not canon, so don’t worry about it too much).
Crunchyroll’s synopsis for the film reads, “He’s a spy. She’s an assassin. Together, Loid and Yor keep their double lives to themselves while pretending to be the perfect family. However, their adopted daughter Anya, a telepath, knows both of their exciting secrets unbeknownst to them. While under the guise of taking his family on a weekend winter getaway, Loid’s attempt to make progress on his current mission Operation Strix proves difficult when Anya mistakenly gets involved and triggers events that threaten world peace!”
