Messi

[Antonioadv]

What do you think of Messi playing for the American League? Can the league change for the better?

This reminds me of when Pele went to play for Cosmo, the US teams improved and even managed to qualify for the world cup, I'm sure they'll learn a little more

 

[valeski 28]

I don´t think so but there will be more attendance in the games especially when Messi plays.

 

[uruguayanna]

Messi is great, proud that he is Argentine

Of course! That's what it's designed for, actually! Messi's move is a huge PR for MLS in general and Inter Miami in particular. Well, the fact that we all saw a world-class performance from Lionel in the first two matches is just confirmation that he is still #1 in the World!

No, I don't think it's better if it doesn't change, but it's better to play after 1 player

Now there is a trend that popular players go to other leagues not for the sake of trophies, but for the sake of making money. The careers of many are coming to an end. Messi is no exception. The Champions League and UEFA are no longer interesting to them.

Yes because Messi won everything which can be won already and he retired from the national team.
It's not unusual for older players to finish their career outside of Europe

 

[satriyo]

Of course it would improve it. Messi is one of the best players on the entire planet.

 

[vitas_top]

I'm not sure that Messi will change the league for the better, but Messi will definitely make a lot of money. But he deserves it.

 

[Snake2007]

Messi is good but Cristiano Ronaldo is better. I personally like Ronaldo more.

Definitely. But the fans would certainly like to see their idols playing in prestigious tournaments again. Such as the World Cup or the Champions League.

Yes sure but everyone reaches an age where it's simply not possible anymore to play at the highest level.
Messi ist incredible but he feels his age too.
Also he ended his national team career as world champion. Doesn't get any better than that
Even if he was to play another world cup and it will definetly be his last one.
But what if they don't win again ?
I understand his decision. He won everything there is to win and now he plays for fun (and retirement money, as if he would need it lol )

Of course, yes, one of the best football players in the world has arrived!!!

 

[German629]

I think, this anyway is very positively and useful for moving and development football on the different continents and in the all world!

 

[bruno13xs]

I think it's more about the money than the competition

 

[olejean]

He is already old enough but still remains the God of football.

 

[franciscomos]

The US soccer is having a great evolution. The US selection is playing better at international tournaments and the league is getting better to, so Messi of course will help to improve that league

 

[marioedu60]

I agree that he plays and I know that he will be a great contribution to football and to everything that the activity entails, both sports, commercial and institutional for the club. I think his decision was right and the consequences will be very important.

 

[Michel_11]

I watched Messi's goals in the American league. Amateur-level games, like weekend games between non-professional friends.

 

[Stringy]

i don't think one man can change a league, players have been going to america for a while but not much has changed

 

[Anamembu]

Lionel Messi is the best in the world

 

[Viparida]

The mls has a great room to improve, the usa is a country full of immigrants many from european and latin america countries which makes a potential of increase in viewers and messi´s arrival i think will accelerate this growth.

 

[Sopt]

Kind of a shame that he went to USA, he had 2 maybe even 3 more "eu" seasons in him if you ask me. Him scoring left and right in Miami is nice, but imo it proves more how bad the league actually is than how great Messi is (and he's most likely the best football player to ever step on the field).

 

[Mantinhoo]

i'm not a big expert in the American league, maybe I'm wrong, but what's better for him here than in Europe? i think it came only for the money because in terms of playing UEFA is at the highest level in terms of the game.
