The Messi Effect on Major League Soccer

[@cantarconmiguel7072]

Es increíble como un solo jugador puede mover tanto a su alrededor. Y lo más asombroso es q los q van a verlo reciben lo q van a buscar: magia. Sin duda estamos ante el más grande de siempre. }

[@jeanandre6129]

True , MLS is growing at a scary pace. Basketball, Football and Baseball establishment is nervous about that.

[@LazarusSlade]

.....Or dressage for that matter!😂

[@rolandcraig8091]

I need american visa else i would be there every single match, just enjoy watching Messi. He is by far the Greatest player of all time, above Maradona and Pele... 👏👏

[@angelrivera-sj6gk]

You can only learn from the pros to become a pro. This is why I think that having Europeans come here to help sharpen our skills is so important for the league and help this league become more attractive to the global market. $$$$$$$

[@mangaymambol]

South americans, europe is full of brasileans and argentinians in their league, best players in the world are always produce by this two countriens among others

[@imanollaynez2950]

I’ll say this right now. America won’t ever produce European level players. Unless they change how expensive it is. Speaking from personal experience….. there a lot of teens that are really good but aren’t notice cause they don’t have the money to go to academies etc. I’m a living testament of that. My parents didn’t have the money to put me in one or else I had a high chance of making it pro. I was really good. Just needed money. It’s too expensive in the states. See in other countries and Europe they actually fund children and teen.

Excusessss

@@RussellRay246 No excuses. It’s facts. Even Zlatan said it in interview. Only if you play football you would know. Get out of here random

FACTS ,the price point is eliminating the best athletes! 6/7 continents this is what the poor kids play an produce the best in the world

[@martindeyanov5267]

this is why the best basketball players come from the USA. basketball is cheap to play, courts everywhere, and every high school has a team

[@no40]

Until the people organizing and controlling the youth academies drops the ridiculous pay wall to entry, the skill level and interest in soccer in the states will continue to remain stagnant.

[@TheCrazyCloon]

Definitely starting to see a shift on that. St Louis City's academies are free and that will surely pay dividends in a few years.

[@roidjones]

Why exactly is there a high cost in America?

[@patrickmwinn]

this interviewer is clueless. hockey is more popular than baseball in the US. Soccer has pretty much surpassed baseball already.

I don't know. Based on what the lady reporter said, dressage might be a nut too tough to crack!

My God!!For America everything is about competition

Jesus , no wonder the stadium is way full better than a flag futball because messi has turned the hands of time in the American League. The game has been way tough and competitive today. Every team in MLS is super hungry to win championship

Agreed. Dropping names like Ricardo Pepe and saying he will do more for US Soccer than Messi. I can’t believe what I just watched. Speechless.

@@kratostherealgod8564 i understand your point. it's just that the number "two", its indication to "pairing", and the era we are in today, off the top of my head, the one to pair messi today would be cr7, that's why i was sooo taken aback of the guy's mentioning of pele, despite never going to question those legends' abilities. you can of course add more names to that list of yours, but it's verrryy difficult to argue that messi's pair is cr7.
