Inter Miami are frauds.

Whoops, sorry, that was the data talking. Looking at American Soccer Analysis' entire database, no team in the last decade-plus has outperformed their xG differential by a wider margin than this year's Miami team. They've outperformed their xG differential by more than an entire goal per game in 2024.

We've never seen something like this before in MLS.

But isn't that the whole thing with Inter Miami? They've assembled a squad with a ceiling higher than any team in league history. They have the greatest player ever. They've snagged a bunch of his friends, who also happen to be some of the greatest players ever. They're breaking the models. Am I surprised at the extent of which Inter Miami are breaking them? Sure. But am I surprised that Inter Miami are breaking them? Nope.

Inter Miami set the single-season points record this year. They've defied the odds so many times in 2024. What's five more wins?
