The vision of David Beckham that took birth about a couple of decades ago is finally starting to bear fruit. As a result Inter Miami are one of the most high profile and well recognized soccer institutions in the world outside Europe at the moment. They had several high profile players and coaches within it's ranks ranging from treble winners to world cup winners all the while competing for the highest honors and putting USA on a global landscape. 

Though initially, Skeptics dismissed the Miami project as nothing more than a flash in the pan. In hindsight we can safely conclude that the men in pink are here to stay. To have three European Legends actively playing on your roster week in week out surely is one way to send out a message to the global fraternity.
