Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates have already secured MLS’ Supporters’ Shield, and they’re currently the heavy MLS Cup favorites in the playoffs, but even the demigod of soccer himself will miss out on one trophy this season: The Wooden Spoon.
Conceptualized, created and maintained by die-hard fans, the trophy is managed by the Independent Supporters Council (ISC), a collective of groups from the U.S. and Canada that hand the annual award to the supporters of the team with the worst finish in MLS.
