Headlines: Inter Miami secures berth in Club World Cup (Soccer 10/21)

The Morning Footy crew react to the news that Inter Miami has indeed secured a spot in next year's Club World Cup. How did they get in? Should they even be there? Or is this just a play justified by FIFA in order to get Inter Miami, aka, Lionel Messi, into the now expanded tournament? MLS Cup Champion doesn't qualify for said tournament. Neither does the Leagues Cup Champion. The other suspicious factor here is the "host country" without any clear criteria was able to select a team of their choosing despite all 31 other teams having a clear path as to how to qualify. With all of this said, the group then discuss how Inter Miami will actually fare against top notch clubs from around the world.
