The 2025 MLS conference finals are set to kick off today with two decisive matchups. Inter Miami CF hosts New York City FC in the Eastern Conference Final, while the San Diego FC takes on Vancouver Whitecaps in the Western Conference Final at Snapdragon Stadium. Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, continue to dominate, with Messi contributing to 76 percent of the team's goals in their last seven games. He scored one goal and added three assists in their recent victory over FC Cincinnati. The Herons are considered heavy favorites to advance, though NYCFC goalkeeper Matt Freese will need to deliver an outstanding performance for the Pigeons to have any chance. San Diego, the first-year expansion franchise, sits one win away from the MLS Cup after their impressive inaugural season. They'll face Vancouver, which made a star-studded playoff push after signing Thomas Müller during the offseason. San Diego's Hirving Lozano, recently recovered from a hamstring injury, could play a crucial role in the conference final.On the women's side, the USWNT defeated Italy 3-0 in a friendly match on Friday in Orlando. Cat Macario scored a brace to lead the Americans to victory. The two teams will meet again on Monday in Fort Lauderdale as part of a two-match series.
