THE stars may have arrived in Miami, but they’re yet to align for the city’s Major League Soccer side, Club Internacional de Futbol Miami.
More commonly and conveniently known as Inter Miami, the club part-owned by David Beckham have had a rough start to MLS life and, in their second season, are struggling under new head coach Phil Neville.
