Most folks would find a huge culture shock living in the KSA. Living in the USA? Issues? Sure, but much easier to transition to living, not just playing, in Miami, USA.
Braceros yourself mls
Miami Heat will win the NBA Championship with Messi as their point guard. 😂
of course it does. Messi can barely walk these days, so he's perfect for the MLS. Next: Pulisic and Brendan Aaronson please!
its time people. its not football anymore its soccer
It will be something to see how Messi reacts to the poor quality of possession that is so pervasive in American soccer.
This comment section shows people's prejudice. When it is Saudi Arabia, everyone loses their mind. But when it is the US, all of a sudden it is okay.
Again why is this clown allowed to do reporting? Is he a twelve year old boy with his hat backwards and sweaty t-shirt?
Messi
This is great for the sport.. Futbol is the greatest sport in rhe world , until you step in the US. Its the only time you'll see me with a number 10 Jersey with his name on it. Its a shame he couldn't snap Ronaldo as well. The revenue that Messi and Ronaldo would bring in would make every sport in the country look like a joke .
The league will only grow by 1 % because even league 1 did not really grow when he went there😅😅😅😅
A league without relegation is not competitive. Let's be honest please
If you have nothing to lose 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
And that is the destination of 1 half of the Goat debate???
Better he goes to MLS that to some pathetic league in a gulf Arab state. Better for his family and the quality of football is not as bad, he should still,be good enough for international duties.
He could score a hat trick in the S and no one will care
messi is goat
This is truly the end of the golden period of Ronaldo / Messi. It was the most incredible run but this spells the end of it. They’re both finished. Wasn’t it beautiful when they were on top? It’s over.
This is the Year for Miami, We getting GTA Vice City, Messi wow city lit
USA baby 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
wish Messi or Ronaldo could play in the liga mx. Despite what Mexico is going through, it is a beautiful country in terms of culture,food, sites, and our football is not that terrible.Oh well.
Why double standard? Ronaldo moving to Saudi at 38 makes him finished, whilw Messi moving to MSL at 35 is great 😂😂🤡 Ronaldo at 35 scored 34 and won player of the season
Soccer will get its rightful name FOOTBALL
Let’s go Messi
Hurts everytime hearing soccer 😭😭😭😭
Ticket prices are about to go up
When is FC Barcelona going to start treating us, the fans, with respect?! We want accountability and transparency! Laporta and the entire board need to get sacked immediately over all the lies they fed us!
I came here to listen to the hypocrisy 😂😂😂
kkkk…sooo funny!
Let’s gooooo!!! My family owns a nice apartment in Miami overlooking the beach and the fact that we can go to games with THE GOAT!? WIN but I wish he played for Barc…😢
When it Messi leaving at age 35 ESPN claiming it make sense.
But when it Cristiano leaving at age 38 this same people talk a lot garbage.
The hate is real.
It’s always been Cristiano against this bias media 🤡’s
messi is going to play in plaza amador on lpf Panama.
I told Messi to come to the USA 🇺🇸
It's so much better than going to Saudi Arabia
GOAT in Miami!
Messi in MLS yeah! I’ll be able to watch him in Miami. The best player near home.
I really wanted him to go to Manchester City or Barcelona. But Barcelona President back stabbed him again.
Good for our league here.
I wonder how everyone will make it in that small stadium in Ft Lauderdale 🤔
European football without Ronaldo & Messi. End of an era 😢
So it's all the about money and none of the game.
Here’s a fun fact: You can fit 10 full size basketball courts in a single soccer field. You can play 5v5 in a full size court. So that means 10 people per court = 100 people playing basketball in 1 soccer field.
If that doesn’t shock you, you can play 5v5 in HALF COURT so that means you can have 20 people in 1 court. So that means 20 people per court = 200 people playing basketball in 1 soccer field.
What makes basketball courts so unique is that you can build basketball courts in the city and it will be filled. It is low maintenance, which is good for tax payers.
So, imagine if you have over 100k basketball courts in America? Theoretically, you can have up to 1 million people if they play full size court OR 2 million people playing basketball if everyone plays half court DAILY. That’s a lot.
I can see why basketball is so big in america but also in the Philippines and China as well.
How many soccer fields in England?
Let’s say over 1,000. Well, 1,000 soccer fields x 10 basketball courts x 20 people per court = 200k people playing basketball if everyone plays half court and 100k people if they play full size court.
So, if Europe has over 100k soccer fields, then, 100k x 10 x 20 = 20 million people playing basketball if they play half court and 10 million people if they play full size.
That’s absurd.
He should've retired. He's turning 36 this month & won't start playing until next season in February 2024. He will be out of shape. Miami is a horrible team with bad players who won't help him score goals. He'll learn quickly & retire after 1 season.
i heard he decided to stop playing Football and now play "Soccer"
Football in America just got bigger 😊
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Football" is soccer
I dont understand the move why did he chose miami over the 800 million deal with Saudi I dont think he can make that amt playing for miami 👀
Stupid decision
All respect of the world leo messi 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇷 no problem with us to make you history our 👑
Messi never wanted to go back to Barcelona to be honest he never cares about his Barcelona fans he was only motivated because of World Cup nothing more
