USMNT Legend Calls Out Luis Suarez's Leagues Cup Suspension- 'Doesn't Mean Anything'

Two weeks after the 2025 Leageus Cup Final, Luis Suarez knows his punishment for his spitting incident. The Uruguayan striker received a six-game match ban in next year's Leagues Cup tournament.

Suarez also received a three-game ban in the MLS with Inter Miami. The bans seem meaningless for many in the MLS community, as his incident after the Leagues Cup Final was seen as worthy of a severe match ban.

The Leagues Cup match ban would rule Suarez out of the tournament completely, as it requires six games for a team to reach the final. USMNT legend Alexi Lalas finds the Leagues Cup ban pointless

On the Alexi Lalas' State of the Union Podcast, the former USMNT player questions whether the Leagues Cup ban means anything to Suarez. He believes that Suarez and Inter Miami's priority is the MLS Cup, which they have yet to come close to winning.

Alexi Lalas: "The six matches for Leagues Cup means nothing to me. And I certainly don't think it means anything to Luis Suarez. And it's not that they don't enjoy winning or want to win everything. And but yeah, I just look at it as how is it going to impact him and his team from an MLS perspective?"
