LATE WINNER 👀 Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami | MLS Highlights | ESPN FC

ESPN FC filled its week with fifteen uploads, and the Manchester City verdict set the tone early. Craig Burley's "It's a mess!" reaction, recorded with Dan Thomas, Stevie Nicol, Frank Leboeuf and Archie Rhind-Tutt after City were found guilty on 114 of 115 Premier League charges, had a huge first day and is still pulling steadily at two days old.

The freshest momentum belongs to MLS, though. The Columbus Crew's 2-1 win over Inter Miami, settled by Jamal Thiaré in stoppage time, is now the channel's busiest video, with Messi's first-half set-piece goal in the same package. A two-word short called "MESSI 🔥" is close behind, which says something about whose name still carries a clip here.

The same panel also asked whether Germany is still a top team after Greece's 1-0 win, and the full show found room for Cristiano Ronaldo's future with Portugal. The subscriber count held steady. Among the larger football channels, TNT Sports Football is running well above its usual pace, while Sky Sports Premier League is having an ordinary stretch.
