The Billionaire Who Brought Messi To Miami

[@jassbrar408]

I personally feel, making it to the World Cup Finals & defeating France while being part of the PSG, was a major factor for Messi..

[@The_AllisonL]

Not just that, but his family didnt feel comfortable in france, they didnt like it. Thats why his sons didnt play at the PSG academy.

Messi won everything there is to win. His legacy is unmatched, not only in football, but in all of sports. But he deserves a better team in Inter Miami. Please, build a better team around him so he could compete for all trophies.

[@abpdev]

They have no diffence at all and yet they are convinced that they need more forwards.

[@iplaytowin234]

Before you guys talk like that, you need to understand the structure of the league (MLS). It's a hard cap league which means that teams have a limited amount of cash they can spend on players. So, to build a strong team around Messi is very difficult. Too many rules that hinder a team like Inter Miami to bring great players to play alongside Messi. The MLS just softened a few rules that will give teams more freedom to bring more players. I'm sure Inter Miami will take full advantage of that.

[@SongofIceandTea]

i don't understand why many people still expect Messi to carry a team or achieve more great things, he's 36 years old, he won every major trophies in football, even a olympics gold medal, let The GOAT rest, while getting paid a lot of money, he deserves it.

Relegation will kill the sport in American business model. No one will invest in teams if they have fear of relegation and losing income. 2nd tier soccer is almost ignored by fans. If this sport grows bigger and grassroots accepts it then maybe relegation/promotion will work.

[@ShahabVaziri]

@@sureshuprety1540 it might actually improve the model via a free market model approach, not a stale monopoly, it'll improve the content and excitement, more attention and more ads, more stakes --- there can be parachutes for relegated teams like the premier league to not go bankrupt.

MLS is getting more and more popular and you do see more young kids in America making 'soccer' their prefered choice. However, it's going to take a long time to become the no.1 sport in the USA and be able to compete on the same level as the top European leagues. I can see soccer in the USA reach it's peak in a few years time and then, due to the slow growth, rapidly decline in popularity like it always does. The fact is that most of America just isn't interested in soccer and never will be.

nice to see the sport growing in the US but thinking its gonna even come close to the top 5 leagues is absolutely delusional. Not from a financial point tho, thats obviously possible.

What a naive vision. He wants to have 15 of the best 100 players of the world in the league in the post Messi area. Yet in the Messi era they cannot attract a second top 100 player. Maybe the US socialist league system is not successful in attracting good players. I will see it coming that the league will be proudcof Reus coming this summer. But he is maybe a top 1000 player of the world but very far from the top 100 anymore. The MLS is healthy and grows economically, but they will never catch up with the Championship or 2. Bundesliga. Maybe the Russian Premier League, or Bundesliga Austria. But Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands have way better leagues when it comes to player quality because the best teams can sign the best players they want. They dont have ti care about salary cabs and such.
