OT: Messi to Miami

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

I did the same thing this morning. Obviously way too late to get tickets. I Looked at matches in Orlando. Tickets were at least $470 for SRO up to $2000 for better seats against Miami. Same tickets for other matches $19 and up.

Caching!

Inter Miami 1 million to 5 million IG followers within 24 hours. More than any North American pro team in any sport.

She made a great choice to come to the USA, but then she ruined it by picking Florida.

South Americans consider Miami to be the unofficial capital of South America.

People have been saying that since Pele, Giorgio Chinaglia and Franz Beckenbauer played for the New York Cosmos. That was supposed to be the breakthrough. Remember? I do.

Oh wait that didn’t take! Surely David Beckham to the LA galaxy 30 years later would get it done!

No? Well 15 years after that Lionel Messi to Miami will certainly be the spark!

you’re clearly confused. Don’t conflate the popularity of MLS with the popularity of soccer in America which is indisputably big nowadays.

Most American soccer fans watch the big leagues in Europe and RIGHTFULLY look down their noses at MLS. MLS is a lower standard and they sign aging players like Messi. In the words of Logan Roy and Matson, it’s not a serious league, it’s a tribute band.

Saudi Arabia is the safest country in the world? Didn't know that.

The driving there is dangerous . Like Deathrace 2000.

Not that Messi would have gone off the beaten path but 90% of that country is a dump. And the people live in relative squalor.

Yeah, thinking that the MLS represents the popularity of soccer in America is a tell.

Here is a shot of Messi shopping at Publix in Florida. He may get to live a pretty normal life, at least for a while.

Looking forward to seeing Messi going up against MLS defenders making the league minimum.

I showed my partner that photo and asked who it was. She says "Messi" and was bit annoyed I thought she wouldn't know.

Andre Blake (UConn) with a big PK save to keep Philadelphia Union up 2-1 versus Club Tijuana in tonight's Leagues Cup game. Awesome!
