ONCE AGAIN, MLS IS RETIREMENT LEAGUE
@@kem1233 it’s called soccer
@@LILFATTY303 Please please please, I'm a world fan of football. I'll subscribe to EVERY american channel discussing football. But PLEASE, please don't call it soccer, that's all we're asking for (us, the rest of the world). We promise we'll be watching every single video from now on. Call it football 🦶🏽⚽ pleeease
i hope media isn't saying one of the best. he is the best!
If and this is a big if he can win a mls cup for Miami! Then yes I'll crown him but I don't see it.
@@remowilliams7029 i mean i think currently Miami is the worst team at mls
Cristiano Ronaldo is better
@@joefredlin5018 they are not worse than my LAG! But if he can turn them around in 1 season and win then that is truly deserving of the 🐐 status, why? Because of the difficulty and it is unheard of. Europe is easy money and quality all around you. When there's parity then we see what you're made of.
@@ThePhenom7 I like me some CR7 too bud but alas he is not a world champion and thus is disqualified from goat status conversations. Tough I know but that's life.
Do you know what Messi will do to the MLS teams! Shiiiiiiiiiiii I'm getting tickets right now!
Sure do. Nothing. His system needs thinking, talented players to make all the cutesy in and out play. Can he still beat flatfooted people in the box? Why not. But he'll do nothing in a sh.. league. Same seen in French league, which is still better than MLS. Messi never chose EPL nor Bundesliga. So, he never really experienced playing at the top level for a season of 36 games or so. So many players have already admitted that going to LaLiga meant a different kind of football. It never was EPL, not even Bundesliga. It was soft.
@@dmdale3598 And I am sure the saudi league is as tough as the EPL, Serie A, etc. right?, look, I understand you as a saudi want this guy in your league so you can brag about it but you need to understand you don't acquire talent by purchasing the most expensive players in the entire planet (ask the qatari who owns PSG), you acquire talent by nurturing the young divisions, by allowing your LOCAL players develop properly and being able to show they are good, by having a strong soccer culture and mindset, by understanding the game, not by throwing money around.
Your country is making the same mistake as the chinese who, years ago, thought by literally pouring hundred of millions of dollars they would become a powerhouse from one day to another.......nobody remembers the chinese league anymore.
@@dmdale3598 i believe laliga was better than bundislega
In bundis it's always Bayern and Dortmund who in the end won't win
In laliga there is the 2 Madrid clubs , barc and Sevilla ( erupa cup champion )
But german fan atmosphere is something else could be even better than epl
@@mannyb7949 It'll be ok Manny B. Hahahaha. I am from the US. And Messi never made it to the EPL. He had his opportunity and he passed. LaLiga was all he had and it worked for him.
@@dmdale3598 Bundesliga is the real farmer’s league even worst than Ligue 1 what are you talking about lol
He’s getting an amazing deal. His MLS salary will be pocket change compared to what he’s used to. But he’s going to make a fortune because he’s partnering with Apple and adidas and will have ownership stakes in those companies. Huge deal. It’s what MLS needs. A true great and LEGEND, a GOAT to play in the league will change the face and culture of the league. Same thing with CR7 and the SPL, many more stars will follow and the league will have no choice but to adjust the salary caps to draw better competition. I will say inter Miami are trash tho. I don’t think even the goat can help them.
But you can't deny is a great marketing move, Miami has more pull than Saudi Arabia in that sense.
Leaving Al Hilal to join Inter Miami is the joke of the century. Al Hilal is the biggest team in Asia and the Middle East/ North Africa. The team that has the most Asian Championships titles. The team that defeated Copa Libertadores’ champion Flamengo and was ranked second in 2nd in the Club World Cup! I lived in Miami for 4 years and no one knew anything about football let alone knowing about Inter Miami 😂
@@al3ndlib for Messi it’s not about getting attention. He wants piece and comfort at this stage in his life. All you fans can think about it fame and money. Messi has enough of both, he loves Miami. He lives there in the off season. It’s about him and his family, plus he’s going to likely own his own MLS team, or become part owner of inter Miami, so this is a long term move. He doesn’t need a bunch of quick cash, he has plenty, and who tf wants to live in the dusty Middle East? No disrespect but that place is a sand desert, not appealing at all for family life.
@@al3ndlib Miami is one of the fastest growing places in the entire Western Hemisphere right now. Sports teams are all getting better coming out of Miami, and FC Miami is just getting a brand new stadium. Its a brand new team, with alot of funding.
MLS about to blow up
I can't wait to see him live before he retires
How long are u his fan ?
He can last 5 more years until his 40s
@@horventl1nks541 no in 5 years he would be 41 ☠️
Can’t wait to see him play for the US. Proud of you Messi. Hope to see him in a game.
Messi has reached a level he can move wherever and still be the right decision. He does not need to prove anyone anything. He won the WC at 35, Maradona at 25. My two GOATS forever.
Yea foh, he’s joining MLS at 36 while Ronaldo was 3rd Leading goalscorer in the best league in the world at 37. 😂 Messi fans were talkin’ shit about Ronaldo for going to Saudi making 200 Million a season, ik they feel dumb as fuck rn. 😆 32 goals in 75 appearances in the worst league out of the Top 5 in Europe. 😂😂😂😂 Messi dickriders better keep that same energy. I know y’all are gonna come to defend your husband, ya’ll don’t get tired of drinking that Argentinian semen 😆😆😆.

dont forget trump moved to Florida .
as trump says
"Florida shines like me"
Messi is set to become 35% owner of Inter Miami which is worth 200 million USD as of right now- that may be worth more than 500 mil by the time he cashes out, and he will be taxed minimally on these capital gains. A tiny fraction of what he would be taxed on lump sum wages. Additionally, he's got revenue sharing with Apple through Season Pass money that will go to him and Adidas has something with him that probably goes in perpetuity. That doesn't even factor in the other endorsements that are yet to come.
It makes no difference if his wages are 50 mil or 5 mil. He's set to get paid what he's worth based on what he brings to the world's most lucrative sports market, and a great deal of this is unrealized value that will hardly get taxed at all. He isn't even doing the wage game anymore. This is a whole different thing.
Ironically, we, the Messi fans will follow him anywhere. I mean, we even watched PSG and Ligue 1 games ... I hope they will not boo him at MLS
I think you can rest assured the booing won't happen. We Americans rarely ever get the chance to see any European football legends play in person. I think if anything, fans of both teams will be cheering their heads off to see Messi in action. We'll welcome him and his family to the states with open arms 😁👍
GOAT of Football chose US over Saudi. Now this is a smart business move. He can get big brands sponsorship deals and shares. Messi, the businessman, has been activated. Good decision. He can happily live in US, unlike in Saudi Camel League.
Doesn't need the money either way. He chose a league that lacks talent, whereas the Saudis are trying to create a league with the best players. Where did Benzema go?
@@dmdale3598 Messi has won everything in football. Its about time he took it easy, he has nothing to prove anymore. Dude could've gone to Stoke City for the funsies, doesn't really matter.
RETIREMENT LEAGUE
@@medalgearsalad1419 That's a totally different game than LaLiga. Haaland is on a different path than Messi. The goal is to conquer all leagues. Messi stayed at Barcelona and his numbers made him the best. Ronaldo played in the EPL with a much rougher crowd. All of it impacts you differently.
@@dmdale3598 Halaand made the mistake of playing for Norway. He should've played for England at least.
Great financial decision by him. He'll get much more in the long run
OMG breh I might have to actually get up and go to this now I can't believe it!!!
It’s only a matter of time before the mls becomes a really good league. It’s not gonna happen overnight though. I’d say in 10-15 years it’ll be a top league.
No way man, the MLS will never have the prestige or top level of any of the european top leagues
@@usctrojanfreak that guy is dreaming. The best players play in europe. MLS will always be a retirement home for players who made their careers in europe. Fanatism really makes people believe messi will make football the most popular sport in u.s 😂😂😂😂😂
@@dnn32 nobody claimed that. the US has a massive population so even if it's not the most popular sport, it still has the potential to grow exponentially in terms of talent.
over the last 20 years, soccer has quadrupled in popularity in the US, and with it's latino population and shared culture with other latin-american countries, on top of the massive backing of american companies, it's really not hard at all to conceive a world where america is a predominant country in the sport.
imo, people disregarding the MLS are mostly only doing so because they want to retain some sort of cultural superiority. regardless, insiders already predict Inter Miami's value to double because of the signing, so it's a massive victory for the league regardless of whether or not he's at his peak, which he obviously isn't.
It's been the best league for over a decade. It's not dominated by 1 or 2 teams. Finally Messi can prove himself
@@illuise football will always be behind especially nfl and nba in the u.s bc the sports culture is primarily those 2 sports. Even Zlatan said it in an interview after his u.s stink he would have never played football seriously growing up if he grew up in the u.s bc it is more expensive for a kid to be in a football academy than being in a basketball or American 🏈 academy.
I just drove down to Miami this morning, then this news dropped. Exciting times!
Yeaa miami is mostly latin americans. Not gringos
@@kem1233 get out ya feelings crybaby
America welcomes the goat 🐐 of football. We cant wait sir! 🇺🇲❤️🇦🇷
Mans literally out here doing side quests now , huh, what is left that I haven’t won yet ? Guess I’ll go get an MLS cup too, what’s the most fun city to live in America, Miami where I already have family ? Bet.
I’m f’n stoked. Cause we’ve seen this before when players get older the US throws a crap ton of money to get them over here , but like Beckham was way past prime, Messi is old , but he literally just won a World Cup , so can’t really say he’s washed. This is great for American soccer.
Great news for Miami, great news for MLS, and even greater news for Apple TV.
This is amazing he is only 35 years of age,I hope Austin fc plays against inter Miami here in Austin so that I can watch a legend!!
Unfortunately, he
He is not in his prime years anymore. You could be disappointed by the way he plays that day.
@@dnn32 The experience still gonna be unique
I'm with you, being here in San Antonio👍
Point of correction: There’s no debate.
Messi is now the undisputed GOAT. He won the World cup, UCL, Ballon D’Or awards
He’s not just widely regarded as one of the greatest, he’s widely regarded as the goat
Leaving Al Hilal to join Inter Miami is the joke of the century. Al Hilal is the biggest team in Asia and the Middle East/ North Africa. The team that has the most Asian Championships titles.

well... I feel terrible for all the MLS defenders.
The greatest footballer in the world ever.
Not only one of the biggest players to player for the MLS. He’s easily top 2 in greatest players of all time and I really dont see how he’s not number 1 all time
Coz Ronaldo is better
@@ThePhenom7 on what aspect ronaldo better than messi?
Bro as an American who just got into the sport of football this is awesome because now I might actually get to watch him live, im a Ronaldo fan but idc this cool as hell, Messi is actually playing in my country now, never would’ve ever thought that would happen in a million years 😂 now im just hoping Ronaldo will join the MLS too
I don't know about that since al hilal already pays him a lot
Neymar definitely
No hate but MLS isn’t near as good as La liga or PL except for retired players, easy movement easy money but when it comes to performance and quality it’s far from being the best.

He was offered more money in Saudi Arabia, but he chose MLS instead. Its not about the cash people, its about soaking that nice, hot Miami sun.
He’s also closer geographically to Argentina where he’s going to train for Copa America
Messi is 36 this month. MLS will suit him and he will get even richer.
LeBron is nothing compared to Messi. MLS > NBA
Stupid remark. Which one had a tarnished career? LeBron's politicking or Messi's tax evasion? Which one played against the toughest? Not Messi. He played LaLiga. Which one could be a coach tomorrow because of his mentoring and industry intellect? Not Messi. Messia has the GOAT label, but he never made it to EPL. Ronaldo made his mark at EPL, and hit LaLiga, Serie A and EPL, now at Saudi league full of foreigh players. LeBron elevated teams. Messi stayed in the shadow of Mbappe at PSG. Lots of Ballon D'ors, but not as a player in the EPL.
lebron is recognized nationally compared to messi who is recognized internationally wherever football is watched which shows messi is more popular
@@dmdale3598 yet he won the world cup
@@dmdale3598 Messi has a slightly better career than LeBron at least he didn't lose 6 finals like LeBron but both Fan bases are deluded and know nothing about both Basketball and European football.

@@gilbertsanya9561 just admit you were wrong bro 😂😂😂😢
get rid of the salary cap and the mls will become the most entertaining league
That decision makes sense because what the heck is he going to do in Saudi Arabia besides earning a truckload of money? (which frankly at this point, he doesn't need), the Saudis think money is the answer for everything, they only want Messi as a pricey ornament and to further their lobby for the WC 2023, they couldn't care less about the game, let alone having Lio play in a very subpar league. Messi needs to play for real even if it is in the MLS because he wants to be ready for the Copa America 2024.
*Take note CR, have some self respect and find a proper club in a proper league, you can do better.
There is no difference for a player at the end of a career, as an older player, going to a soft league (MLS or Suadi league). There is a huge difference when a player plays a soft league for most of his career (Messi in La Liga) vs a player that kills it in the toughest league (Ronaldo in the EPL). Messi never wanted EPL or Bundesliga. Ronaldo championed all leagues. Lewandowski played Bundesliga, known for big boys on the pitch. Haaland wants to conquer all leagues. Therefore, Messi was NEVER challenged when it came to football.
@@dmdale3598 And yet, he managed to win the WC 2022 and Copa America 2021, so much for not being challenged enough.

@@desmondachocky537 stop being cringe bro
Whatever criticism of the level of play at least MLS is a hell of a lot more visible than Saudi league. Ronaldo may as well have fallen off the face of the earth.
wow when messi moves to a lower leauge he gets all the support and everything from the media but when ronaldo does it everyone hates on him like wtf
I am very happy that Messi chose the American Inter Miami, the Americans are much more kind than the Europeans.
News flash! There is probably no bigger Messi fan then me but to say he is at the height of his career! he was passed his best probably 6 or 7 years ago, still great yes but no where near his best, no offence but he wouldn't be leaving Europe if he was still prime!
the USA gets player way past their prime. SLOPPY SECONDS NATION
It was both factors: Money plus family stability.
CORRECTION: Messi is by far the greatest sport star ever in history.
Sad news 😢
not one of the, He is the GOAT
Messi is coming with a global audience. So MLS, get ready
Cristiano is happy because Messi won't score any more UCL goals!

He's 35. Won the one award he only needed (world cup). Ended his last season in PSG with a 32 g/a in 32 games. Won the league and the French cup. Rejected a $500M deal. And would possibly end up getting loaned to Barcelona for 1 or 2 seasons if he really ends up signing for Inter Miami. 😂 come on bro stop watching futbol from reels 😂

The amazing comedian Chappelle walk away from 50m and people couldn't understand it, he wanted peace. Now, Messi rejected 1.2Billons. The best player in the world and football history wants mind peace, reconnect with the enjoyment of football and enjoy family. Messi is not only about goals (#1 in Top 5 leagues), he's super complete player, his football IQ and style of play has no coparison. He won everything and after the world cup the debate is over. The only GOAT of football history. The eyes of the world will be on Inter Miami now
