You're listening to Giraffe King's Network.

He is one of Major League Soccer's all-time leading scores.

I'm sure Stugots will tell him in a moment that soccer is dead,

Taylor, 12th and thank you for being with us.

Can you please explain to me what impact Messi's about to have on Miami,

on MLS and also answer for me the question whether anyone's told Messi

Dan, I can promise you one thing.

They have not told him he's playing in Fort Lauderdale.

gets started, that's what Messi has been sold on.

But the answer to your original question, listen, I was born in the NA SL days.

My father played in the NA SL with the Cosmos, Pele, Beckham, Bauer, Canalia,

And Messi's going to do that times a million.

And the reason why is this, he's coming to the United States to Miami,

Copa, America's here in 2024.
