#Soccer #Messi #Football
Now, Messi will turn soccer into football 😊
Lol football gets called that when they kick the goal only after a touchdown. It’s all hands ball 🤗
I think having American football and Football two big things in America would be great. Hopefully Messi grows the culture.
@Jose BertelCan you shut up about the word soccer? There’s nothing wrong with that word
@David who cares
That messias fan group isn’t an official fan group. They just showed up out of nowhere. Our official fan groups are Vice City 1886, La Familia and Southern Legion
Yeah I was going to say that. You guys need to keep this group in check. It’s clear that they are definitely more Messi fans than Inter Miami fans.
??
La pulga
El GOAT! 🐐
The GOAT 🐐⭐️✨
RONALDO?!
@FEAR THE GHOST IN ME 😨tell him get a worldcup
Now Americans will know what true “GOAT” means 🐐⭐️✨
They just pretend but see this whole years all medias and night saw can stop requesting messi for thier show..they will wstch everyday starting from presentation and all main sports will be dead in america❤
@Ay Nako! messi just better
Soccer is not famous around the world. He aint goat
Flopping and crying are messis signature moves 😂
❤❤❤Great
With news of Argentenian wonderkid Facundo Farias joining Messi and Busquets, Miami CF will have a assembled a good team to play in copa libertadores come next season. Messi will take some adjusting but watch out for 2024.
wow. Didn’t know this. Big move for MLS
Is Busquets confirmed to join Miami? If yes, then it is amazing news
mls wont play in libertadores and even if they did they wouldnt survive in the tournament
@Marc cito it’s done! Top teams will play. Google it
Just Stop calling it Soccer😭😭😭😭😭😭
In America we have AMERICAN football 🇺🇸
Sorry it is what it is in the USA
Yo amo a la bella Argentina 🇦🇷
Hola y gracias por tanto afecto, un gran saludo !! !! !
@Mh Arg dale brother ustedes serán siempre esos pibes mundialistas 🌎
He said Michael Jordan, not LeBron.
Eh… MJ > LeBron and I’m a LeBron fan.
GOAT
😊
Its about to get messy ( messi )🐐
i cringed
Guys he’s done with football he’s just there for vacation 😂😂
Well, not actually, but yeah. For him it is basicly a retiring team (I guess)
@Penalty for Pessi Quite literally, he won everything he wanted in football and has nothing to prove. He wants to take better care of his family now, enjoy the last years of his carrier without worrying about any trophies and stuff.
@Penalty for Pessifinished? Nope. He scored over 40 goals last season .
@Penalty for Pessijust like United kicked pendu? Or cried on wc loss?
@Penalty for Pessiseeing your pfp, you surely don’t touch grass
lol My idol Pionel Penguinel Pussi playing soocer at his 36 in USA🤣🤣🥶🥶🙉while CR7 playing Football in Saudi. Another reason why Ronaldo is the Greatest of all time
Messi WC> Pendu career
Too bad… MESSI HAS A WORLD CUP!! WHILE RONALDO IS WISHING HE HAD ONE!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry MESSI IS THE GOAT…AND TROPHIES TO BACK IT UP!!! INCLUDING A WORLD CUP!!!!
Leave your basement and take a shower.
GOAT taking over 🐐🇦🇷. And it’s FOOTBALL
Soker? 😂 jaja si claro
People will only pay attention if you quit calling it soccer and change it to MLF
ffs
Messi out here doing side quests
Haa you won the internet today – classic Leo doing ‘strangers and freaks’
What is Soccer?
The greatest of all time
@David penaldo is not even close to Lukakus level . Even Lukaku plays in top 30 leagues
1:20
Note:
That’s “Florida Man.” 😊👍
Not “Floriduh Man.” 🤭👎
‘goal-making kicks’
whats wrong ?
@SHAnothing, but as an English man from the uk it sounds funny to word it that way.
@fivenotewonder it just a soccer term, norhing funny about it. Soccer isnt really a big deal here buddy
Leo🦁🦁😍⚽️
These americans know nothing about messi. There is no passion, no emotion, no nothing
GOAT!!!
He is the biggest superstar on planet Earth…
@David Cry me a river😂
@Emma Madison Ronaldo is better than Messi
I wish they gave Gonzalo Higuaín the Royal 🤴 treatment
😂
I’m sure he’ll be gifted one or two penalties a game.
Mf he is the GREATEST THAT HAS EVER PLAY 🐐🐐
@David 😂😂😂😂
Americans shames soccer, if any American can defend or grab the ball from Messi 1 on 1, we can accept Americans opinion on the real football, if no one can then they don’t have that much skill
leo lover 🇧🇩🤍
The GOAT
Please no more soccer, it now football officially
if c ronaldo play in america i will be more bigger😊
https://youtube.com/shorts/v9ei-rAeDdA?feature=share3 MESSI ❤️
0:26
*The greatest of all time.
The best leyend of history of football arrive to US
He should came to Los Angeles , LA has way more soccer’s fan,
you know how many people gonna move to Miami just for Messi😂😂 come on now
Messi will dominate America! I know he will ❤❤❤! Good Luck Leo!
“His goal making kicks” 😬😆
Happy he came here unlike Ronaldo. This will increase the popularity of soccer and the upcoming World Cup will too especially if the US does well.
goal kicking goals =(
if i see irl im gonna die
One of the greatest??? What blasphemy!!! HE IS THE GREATEST EVER!!!
Greatest mls player was Zlatan…
there is no such thing as soccer its called football, calling it soccer is nothing but disrespect to the goat
Messi ❤
0:26 One of the greatest??? Dude he won everything, he is the most decorated player in the history of football, 7 ballon D’or and countless more. What more should he do to say he is not the greatest. He deserves the tag and the respect.
Ronaldo >
@cheezyeditsCap
Messi is more than Jordan bro
MESSSI KING
0:26 #11?
Goat
Lol @publix.
It’s going to get Messi
Except for all American friends, for soccer term, everyone of us (European, Asian, South American) will watch Messi plays American ‘Football’ 😂😂
So happy that I’ll be able to see this legend play
Don’t be too overhyped
Now America is gonna know how big football actually is. And how big of a extraterrestrial being messi is. They see football instead of soccer from now
PELE WAS BETTER!
MESSI SUCKS.
Messi can make americans love football…such a legend
Well he can’t Winn the game bye him self lol they need to bring better players to help him him Winn games .
Miami is like LA now ,English is their 3th Language, Wonder what would be their 2th ? LOL
Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi
It’s time to change the name of the league to MLF.
Sorry not happening
Messi Madness 🩷🐐
He is the greatest soccer player to ever play idc ⚽🥅
when’s his first game?
Americans audiences and spectators will never embrace Soccer unless it is split up into four thirty minute quarters and there is 30 minutes gap in between the quarters so that they can enjoy the Stadium food court and rest rooms and Beer stalls
The Media can have all the advertisement between each quarters.
The Game clock should pause. for each stoppage in the game like Football.
Plenty of College Cheer leaders in between the play time.
LM10 💙
Football GOAT LM10 💙
Inter mami is lucky
it is futbol not soccer😄
“Soccer” superstar😂
0:52 wait a minute,
So you were drunk while duty time😂
🐐goat is going to be THE LION in America🦁
I like Messi but Miami’s favorite has always been LeBron.
The biggest flopper ever lol 😂 soccer isn’t a sport
He’s Not One Of The Best! He’s The Best Of All Time Simply The Goat 🐐
Ronaldo is better than Messi
Wait til a Karen tells him to “Speak American or go back to where you came from…” 😂😂😂😂😂
Still struggling to pronounce his name though……
Best football player …
