Messi still has 0 goals against Brazil, Spain, Italy, Germany, England, and Portugal in competitive games
How can you call this dude a goat? He is a fraud
4-0. You let the best GK in the league walk, ignored the glaring lack of depth in key areas, and somehow expected this to work? It already feels like this season is over... #Quakes74
Call me a hater but I LOVE this Leo Messi hate. After years of watching him do this nice guy gimmick, get unfair favoritism and get propped up by the media, I love the veil is lifting and that people are finally seeing him for who he is.
As someone who was religiously watching MLS in 2011, I can tell you MLS absolutely held up their end of this bargain.
The league is a top 15 league in the world in 2026. In 2011, maybe top 50?
That argument works for some expansion teams, not teams like the San Jose Earthquakes.
The Quakes’ roots go back to the 1970s, before MLS existed. Decades of supporters, rivalries, and culture aren’t something you can “air drop” into a city. Learn the history.
MLS franchises are not woven into the fabric of communities... they are just air dropped into a city with no true & organic connection.
People & communities are the are the heart and soul of football/soccer clubs around the world.
This is why MLS is ignored by most USA ⚽️ fans.
