I confess that I've never cared about or watched MLS till Messi came over. How messed up is it that it took a foreigner to make me care about one of my country's sports? But that's just Messi. He's undeniable even by people who don't even watch soccer.
As an MLS fan since I started watching the sport in 2014 it's tempting to wanna gatekeep all the new fans, "You should've been supporting the domestic league this whole time, Yada Yada". But no, I'm just happy there are people like yourself with MLS on their radar now! Hoping even just 10% of the new eyeballs Messi has brought in stick around in the years after he retires. Hope you make it out to a match live as well man. Until then, keep enjoying the insanity that is MLS
Honestly man, MLS is fun See the thing is, we’re spoiled with our traditional Big 4 men’s leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) because these are the most elite leagues for their sport in the world. The pinnacle of their sport. MLS *isn’t* the most elite soccer league in the world, of course, but that’s 100% OK 😅 It’s still perfectly decent, about the quality of a European league like the Belgian league
my man.. SAME! MLS highlight games on TH-cam (before Messi came over) were getting MAYBE 7-10k views.. but when 3 of the best players who played together at probably the best club team OF ALL TIME come to the states... you better believe were all gonna tune in!! 🤍💙
Only a matter of time before before someone snatches up Benjamin Cremaschi (inter Miami #30). He had a great tournament. He's a local kid, academy product. Born in the US and an Argentinian dual national - speaks English with a slight Spanish accent, 18 years old. He played in the attacking midfielder role with Messi, Busquets, and Alba as if he'd been doing it for years. Messi is now in a position to win an American double on a last place team. That's insane.
Messi is the GOAT. As an American from the northern woods of Pennsylvania now in the Brazos Valley of Texas, I love soccer having never had it as a kid. It was American 🏈 basketball, track, wrestling n baseball. My oldest son played college soccer. Love it. Long live the 🐐.
Excellent reaction, Lads. My InterMiami boys did it. Leagues Cup Champions 🏆. Ole, Ole, Ole , Ole, Miami, Miami.... Messi is the GOAT. Callender was spectacular for my Herons. Woohoo
well aware that the level of competition is lower. No level stops this or his free kicks. None of "The 5 Leagues" could stop this stuff. And he is loving life!!!
10:30 All I will ever remember about Asamoah Gyan is his missed PK against Uruguay in 2010... not him playing for Sunderland nor being captain for the Black Stars, just the single moment will be ingrained in my memory forever.
Unlimited overtimes should decide. I don't care if it takes 9 hours, overtimes over shoot outs. One man's opinion and you know what they say about those.
last comment lol missi makes it look easy every where. its not just the MLS. during this game they spoke on him scoring goals in 7 straight games. and said ppl forget he has done this before coming to mls
Inter Miami now have the uphill task of needing roughly 30 points from 12 games in order to qualify for the MLS playoffs. With Messi playing so far, they would have 5 wins and 2 draws at the end of regular time, which is so close to being good enough.
Messi did something thats amazing, not only he won them a cup but after the victory, he went to DeAndre Yedlin number 2 who was the captain before Messi, he went to DeAndre Yedlin and gave him the captain arm band after the match. What a sign of respect.
Do watch Messi the golden child... Being the best is not easy ,the dedication from an early age is what makes Messi stand out from everyone, one of his many attributes.
OB DAZ IS RIGHT ABOUT SHOOTOUTS, they should just have extra time and take players off and allow subs. It would be more popular in America if their were no ties and more scoring.
I only watch the World Cup and these highlights because of Messi. But I wish we had better or different camera angles. I'd like a skycam like the NFL has. Might be cool
I'd like to see the day that the MLS has a high floor with team payrolls similar at least NHL, and there is still 3 DPs for world class "difference makers" could be a very interesting, competitive and deep league, that probably only the EPL would compete with. Because most leages only really have 2 to maybe 6 real contenders every year.
I know he said it, not a bad assumption on his part. I am new to MLS don't know the rules. I understand the goals, learning position names and penalties still don't understand. They should have MLS, NFL, NHL and MLB for dummies. I would sign up @@jrr5492 in a heart beat for those classes.
Does anyone know, in the European league finals and cups or international competitions, can you have the same player kick penalties after the fifth penalty has been taken (repeat penalty takers after 5 tries for each team)? I thought that is how it works in Europe and International competitions. But I sort of like the Leagues Cup/MLS way of requiring everyone in the lineup to take a penalty before any player can be used again, because it created keeper vs. keeper to decide the game.
In regards to penalty alternatives, have y'all seen how the MLS first did penalties in the 90s? There was a runup and a 1v1 against the goalie and those were exciting. Don't know why they changed it, but I can assume to match the tradition of the sport everybody else does.
Ricky Gervais once met David Blaine... Your father looks so fucking much like him. Your father is amazed by Messi's tricks, just as Ricky is amazed by Blaine's tricks. Very complex conclusion/joke %)
Oh man can't wait the new inter stadium will be 5 minutes from my house when it opens... Good times for sports in Miami the heat dolphins Panthers hurricanes all competing for championships
I agree with you Daz, penalties are a crapshoot at best. I have been advocating for golden goal for a long time. I think 11 vs. 11 could be kept. Just allow an extra sub every 15 mins of extra time and allow players that were subbed off during regular time to be subbed back in. Everyone always says that it can't be done because it will lead to injuries. I say to them look at that the NHL (National Hockey League) playoffs. Sudden death overtime with 6'7" 240 lbs guys on skates. They make it work, and injuries are not a big part of their overtimes.
Nah. I disagree about finishing a tied game with penalties. Here in the US, the biggest complaint against soccer is the low scoring. Also, the game can be boring watching teams endlessly pass the ball around, and making no effort to go to goal. Basketball scores are often over 100 points for 1 team! American Football has several ways to accumulate points: a touchdown = 6 points; the PAT = 1 point (Point After Touchdown); Field goal = 3 points; safety = 2 points. Scores can be in the 30s and 40s. Baseball scores can be in double digits. Hockey is exciting no matter what the score, with endless fast breaks, crushing checks, and the occasional fist fight! In soccer, if the game is tied after 90 minutes, plus two15 minute overtime periods, penalty shots can solve the problem of a low scoring, boring, pass-the-ball-around-forever game. In a penalty shootout, all the drama and excitement we love in sports is present! Plus there's a lot of goals, fantastic saves, agonizing misses and exciting finishes. The problem with extending time so the game ends without penalties is that it takes a huge toll on the players who may have little time to recover between matches. Torn muscles and cramps happen late in most games when players are tired. In the Leagues Cup, matches were 4-5 days apart for 3 weeks for the 2 teams in the final. Players are more likely to resort to desperation slide tackles when they're tired, making collisions (injuries!) more likely. I think it was a good idea to forego extra time in the event of a tie at full time and go straight to PKs.
Zimmerman has always been in the MLS. You're thinking of his twin Tim Ream who plays for Fulham

That dad joke was brilliant.
6:52 that's a good joke. every day of the year lol
yes i thought it was good
Excellent reaction. Thank you so much. Greeting from Argentina 🇦🇷. Messi GOAT

Please keep these up with all inter miami games. When they finally manage to drop a game I'll be interested in the analysis!

Surridge played for Bournemouth, then next significant move was to Nottingham Forest then from there he was signed by Nashville

I’m not mad that y’all didn’t show Inter Miami vs Charlotte FC league match.. Charlotte FC got blown out.
Open Cup semi finals vs Cincy on Wednesday. Let’s see if he can get another trophy this season!
last comment lol missi makes it look easy every where. its not just the MLS. during this game they spoke on him scoring goals in 7 straight games. and said ppl forget he has done this before coming to mls
Absolutely loving this MLS stuff! May I just asked to see more teams than only Miami reactions?
Calendar joke....😂😂😂😂
The Callendar joke. I love it.
The callender joke had mii puzzled also lol..i thought it was a mutual joke 😅
Loved the Callender dad joke btw haha
Lol that Messi goal is a a goal anywhere in the world.
what does that mean
Hey Guys, The SC in Nashville Name Means “ Soccer Club “ So There Name Is Nashville SC!
❤Messi has more outside the box Goals than CR7:
😮 and He has more Goals than the appearances of so called other Greats😮
I appreciate the calendar joke😂
The calendar joke was good, but it felt dated.

golden goal would be a better option
Your dad came up with a really good idea about if the game is tied after 90 minutes
I think extra time should be golden goal playing 10 minute period and after each period each team takes a player off the pitch
Do watch Messi the golden child... Being the best is not easy ,the dedication from an early age is what makes Messi stand out from everyone, one of his many attributes.
Nashville SC( soccer club) is from Nashville Tennessee

10:13 I think it fair the let the goalies go at if after no one else got it done.
Penalty shootouts make the sport more exciting.
Huh. SC, maybe means South Carolina. So they prob played in North Carolina. Logic checks out. Lol
Nah, its Soccer Club. Nashville, Tennessee
@lilyz2156 this is a comment about Daz saying this.

This was Messi's 44th trophy which puts him one above Dani Alves alone at the top.
On Wednesday inter miami will be playing u s open cup semi final you should do the reaction
Penalties aren't a flip of the coin, they are a skillset in itself

Same rules in Europe. All 11 have to go before #1 can go twice.

Look at hockey/nhl a dieing sport/league?
@jrr5492 It's not dying. And my point was about injuries, not popularity.
@@japcar84 it is. And no one cares.
@jrr5492 Sure. By the way, the word you were looking for is "dying," not "dieing". "Dieing" is only to be used when referring to die casting.
@japcar84 sure. And hockey's not a "sport", it's "trash"
The mls must be absolute crap for one player to take the worst team and drag them to first in about a month.

Instead of pk we should do coin flip 😁
I hate penalty kicks as well. I think there has to be a better way. Too much luck involved.
