Thank you. Welcome to the big thing on total soccer show, our weekly deep dive into a big

thing on total soccer show, our weekly deep dive into a big talking point in the beautiful game.

And this week there can surely be no bigger talking point than Leonel Messi's shock announcement of his move to join into Miami in Major League Soccer.

The 35-year-old's contract is up at Paris San Juan-German on June 30th,

and he was widely expected to make a move to Saudi Arabia,

where a two-year contract reportedly worth a tax-free,

two billion euros, was waiting for him.

Despite a very highly paid tourism ambassador role for Saudi Arabia,

on Wednesday, Messi confirmed he had made

his decision to move to Florida. On today's show, we're breaking down this monumental moment for

US soccer. We'll look at what it means for MLS, how the world is reacting, and how this will

potentially change the course of the sport in the United States. My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, we have Mr. Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. Hello, my friend. Yes, the algorithm on Reddit and Twitter has been trying to get me to care about the Alexis McAllister move. Nice try. It's all about Messi this week. Nice try, Twitter and Reddit. Nice try other things happening in life. We're talking about Messi right now and for the near future.

Graham rather than joining us as well.

Hello, Graham.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

How are you?
