Messis move is great for MLS and for US for the World Cup.

Mls defending is on another pathetic level. Messi can probably score 80 goals if he plays with 50%.

Good to know. Then any CD offered from MLS is a red flag.

The only position that looks solid in the mls are the full backs, but now idk if thats cause of the defense is bad or are they really good. Other than that a bunch of amateur looking players.... Messi looks like a god and hes not even trying that hard. Its as if Jordan went to play in Thailand or some bad league.
Here i gotta agree with Ronaldo and say that the Saudis league is better.

Haven't watched MLS much, generally only playoff matches. Getting Messi was a wise move to grnerate interest. Stupidly, I noticed most of matches are on separate service, like Serie A and EPL . In the US its more important to have talk shows to shout at each other than watch sports. Unless of course its Poker or bowling. Guess the Arab league will become available here in US as well on a separate service. The match aired on standard cable for EPL matches and a separate service for Serie A is about it for me.

Not even question LOL, they won against Argentina in WC, they won Asia Cup multiple times, one of top countries, their clubs also won Asia CL multiple times as well and Asia is hard to win not like Concacaf with only Mexico.

Ironically, first biggest show case to the world for Saudi is in US, WC 94.

Lol. I just saw the headlines where Messi scored twice in around 20min in his first start. You maybe right.

Messi is gonna enjoy himself in this league. Feels like he made the right choice to go there and not to the Saudis.

He should come back to Europe next year. I understand his reasons after winning everything, but he still has a few more years in him to play at the top level.

I don't care, it's fun and I love that Messi is getting well deserved love from the US as well

Messi can have his fun later. He should come back to Europe next year. MLS is not in his league at all.

Yeah, Messi doesn't care about your wishes. Why play under stress if he can get paid more in US and have fun? I know what I would choose if I was him

Why? Why would potential trophies in Europe make him a bigger player than he already is? He has done it all.

I would love to do whatever I want in the final years before retirement. Messi seemingly is the same.
