I’ll make sure to tune in. Never miss an opportunity to watch these guys kick the kicky ball… they might need the money from viewership you know!
I’ll also make sure to buy one or two of those several hundreds dollars jerseys with the name of other men on the back for the same reason too.

The feats, efforts and discipline that these athletes display? Commendable. The insane money and time waste behind it all for everybody else? Not so much. A lot of it in the name of “feeling part of”.

Messi would sell out his soul as well if his wife wanted to live there. She was heavily against it - that was one of the primary reasons for him not going there.
Don’t forget he’s working with Gulf states as an ambassador anyway.
However there’s speculation they are planning to talk to Neymar and Suarez so MSN could be back together!
Maybe he’s reached a point in his career where money isn’t the biggest consideration.
he chose quality of life. He already has more money then he could ever spend, and he has the ambassador role already with Saudi Arabia. He made a decision for his family, it’s a very Spanish-speaking community in Miami, incredible lifestyle if you are wealthy, and you are in the same time zone as Argentina pretty much. All of these things are very important to consider.
Very true, the lifestyle and language do a lot to be honest plus he didn't want to risk it after what he's been through in France to be honest. In addition, his wife made it quite clear she's not moving to Saudi so that was pretty much done afterwards.
Friends and relatives in the UK along with various foreign soccer pundits put the level of play of MLS on par with England's 2nd tier ("The Championship") with some of the lower MLS teams being more "League One" and the worst "League Two". From what I've seen of MLS and the EPL over the past 4 years, I'd say that's a fair assessment.
They have signed a deal with Sky, that’s for U.K. domestic rights though. There is no indication that they are close to making a deal for international broadcast.
One of the clubs chairmen’s was on a sport radio show here in the U.K. last week. He said Apple didn’t come in for the rights and he was disappointed that they didn’t.
T-Mobile is giving it away free. I've got a season pass and I'll never watch a single game because I hate sportsball.
Exactly. I expect him to say he wants to play for Richmond at the actual presser now.
NO! Leave the EPL alone. The MLS package is way over priced so I can imagine the rip off price they will attach to the EPL. stay the he’ll away Apple😖
Messi in MLS is great news for the sport, bad news for us who get MLS+ package for free through T-Mobile. It’s going to get too expensive for T-Mo to give it away.
I didn't like that storyline at all, so I'm happy they scrubbed it. I get the feeling the writers realized they had made a mistake. IMO the second half of the season was substantially better than the first.
no, according to most reports. in interviews, Messi implied that his family preferred living in America. cynical pundits claim that he didn't want to accept two Saudi paychecks (he's already paid as a Saudi tourism ambassador).
