Coach Reid halted stumble for Chiefs
Andy Reid celebrated his 25th season as a head coach with a masterful performance on the sideline and in the locker room.

TOKYO – It's all been very messy. We're talking about Lionel Messi and Inter Miami's global tour of exhibition games where the main show has been Argentina's 2022 World Cup-winning captain.
The matches are about promotion and marketing, hoping to build a new brand by using stars like Messi and Uruguayan Luis Suarez.

Through five games, Inter Miami has been outscored 12-7 and won only once. And that was Sunday in Hong Kong, where a 4-1 victory over the local team was overshadowed by angry fans holding up signs demanding a refund and booing since neither Messi nor Suarez played – both out injured and aging.

Reid kept them steady.
This isn't the best team Reid has coached but it just might be his best coaching job.
