It's a real shame Messi is farting about over there, would've been nice to see him remain at the top level a bit longer.

Watches highlights. Cuts to home fans celebrating Messi goal for the opposing team. Ok.

I don't know much about that league but I did watch one or two games during their inaugural season in the mid 90s and I gave up after seeing how they used to settle their draws with a rather strange shoot-out ... If you can call it that.

I can understand the opposition fans celebrating a Messi goal.

Players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Darwin Nuñez are for all of us to enjoy, regardless of which team we support.

I have only been to one MLS game in the 27 years I have lived here. That was to watch Wazza when he was at DC United.

I have never watched a game on the TV. It just holds no interest to me.

I wud go 2 games butt ly local team is own by Man Cs* so fook dat noize

Similar to Vidic, lived here 13+ years and been to one game and i think watched one game in a bar in Kansas with mates.

I do follow Inter Miami now though, watch their highlights each game but that of course is down to Messi and Suarez who are just a joy to watch and we won't get to watch them much longer.

While it is great to have them here, when Messi in particular does give it up it is going to leave a massive hole and I don't see how MLS will recover for a long time

It will b fine

Just as it was b4 Messi

Apparently Messi has 16 G+A in 9 games or something - according to the Athletic it’s an MLS record through 9 games.

If Messi wins the MLS Cup & Copa America, he should win another Ballon D’or imo

Not seen any ‘breakthrough’ US stars in a while actually.

Definitely seeing more US players in Europe, so that bodes well for the national team, but not seen a STAR such as Donovan (or even Freddy Adu).

Pulisic was the last one I can think off.

Cremaschi looks very good to be fair, a genuine talent.

Every week I am left scratching my head as to how any ever thought Ronaldo was the better player. Messi is still phenomenal and making the game look easy

What about Alphonso Davies? Canadian rather than US but came through the MLS.

Good shout tbf

Because they have very different strengths and some are swayed by Ronaldo's athletism, power and determination. I prefer Messi but I can see why some think differently.

El Traffico is also the best name for any football derby.

Ronaldo is more athletic, far better in the air, has more power. It's true I prefer Messi, but there is a comparison to make.

I honestly don't see where there is a comparison. One player literally runs the entire game having 100+ touches most weeks while the other isn't involved until the final third and in the last 5-7 years the penalty box having next to no actually impact on a teams overall performance.

I go to the odd Whitecaps game when I get free tickets. Half the times I've gotten so drunk I fall asleep and the other times I've left early cos I was sober and struggling to stay awake.
