On June 7, just a week before his birthday - Lionel Messi would shock the world when he would announce that the next and possibly the final chapter of his career - would be in the Good OL USA playing for Inter Miami.
That’s right, the skilled footballer we’ve ever seen decided to go to a league where a 38 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored 31 goals in 31 games.
But honestly, after watching Messi look like he’s in his absolute prime, I can’t help but just absolutely LOVE IT. And perhaps, Lionel Messi turned down all those other offers because he saw a chance that many others for the past decade brushed off - the chance to make the MLS great and convince America just how wonderful this beautiful game is.

Congrats on 500k! been a fan since a few months. I love how your content is pure football knowledge
@@A-Train_Run much love my man! appreciate it
Football is not about having the biggest most athletic players it's about having the most skilled a fittest players if having the best athletes were the case in Argentina then there whole rugby squad would represent their football/soccer team
It's not about best athletes that's why soccer is so diverse and not dominated by one country or ethnic group this aint NFL or NBA come on man
You know better than that raymar
"Captain of the MLS" 😂
0 comments? Here you go
I mean he is speaking fax tho.
hahaha hilarious right
U funny
Cry camel 🐪 dog
Lionel Messi has conquered his final peak. Lionel Messi has shaken hands with paradise.Lionel Messi has climbed in galaxy of his own
*THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME* 🐐
And there he found the u.s a paradise to make America great again by loving soccer
Like peter's commentary made me so emotional
I wanted to hear it forever
It made him sound like a god
Though he already is
😂 guy absolutely rattled this beautiful quote into 🐕 💩
@@Cule_ what are you on about?
@@badboyz1138did you really said messi is a god? 😂
I saw him play in Dallas a couple weeks ago against FC Dallas. It was a privilege and pleasure to see the GOAT dismantle my home team 😅, which is something I never thought I would be able to experience!
Did you want your team or Messi to win?
I feel like Messi is using MLS to prepare for his final international tournament as well. It just comes very handy that the Copa America 2024 will be in America.
He used PSG to prepare for the WC 2022 only to destroy France and leave PSG right after
He definitely knows what he is doing
could not agree more
lol didn’t really destroy France. Mbappe was the best player in the finals and Argentina barely won in penalties 🤷♂️
Mbappe was nowhere to be found until the first penalty. 0 dribbles, 0 key passes, 0 chances created. Messi had most dribbles, key passes and chances created than whole France squad combined + scored two goals and made preassist for Di Maria goals.
Messi was involved in all 3 goals 😂 Mbapee got gifted 2 pens in the final and ghosted all game.
@@FoshoTheOnembappe ghosted for 80 minutes that was just the hype of the moment when you really analyze his performance , it was mid 😂 . Unlike Messi who was involved in all the goals and created hella chances that lautaro missed 🤣. You can’t be Player of the match when u ghost for 80 min 😭🤣
Don't forget, everyone else who joined the MLS joined the best teams.
Messi joined the WORST team
He had a chance to watch Season 3 of Ted Lasso prior to making his decision.
Good observation 😅
We don't even know the best teams or the worst in mls
Probably one of my funniest videos lol let me know if you guys actually laughed at some of these clips/edits 😂Much love to all of you for all the support throughout the years! Truly appreciate you all 💜
Hey raymar I just want to say I love your videos and keep up the good work
raymar I absolutely love ur video's bro keep it up
i love ur videos speacily when eating
@@goblinqatos534 hahaha I’m glad to hear man I love watching while eating too 😂
@@memesorsomething7839 thank you so much brother
I love how people say that "Messi is scoring against Mcdonald's worker" But for messi, every keeper he faces IS MLS keepers
The funniest part about that is that those idiots seemed to have forgot that Messi scored and humilliated the best keepers in the world throughout 18 years in Europe! He destroyed the best defenders and keepers, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he's finding it "easy" to score against unknown defenders and keepers from MLS and the mexican league!
MLS has way better keepers and with better technique than> Camel league who are mostly just unknown keepers that haven’t even played in there National team or called up once only gk Ik in that league is Ospina and mendy.
Not only keeper the defenders he make them look like noobs. He has toyed Madrid defense at their prime
They are bitter that he refused to play camel sheppards in some desert
It makes no sense to question how good he is by comparing his new opponents to Mcdonalds workers when Messi toyed with the best European teams & international countries for 15+ years, Let the man have a good retirement plan & enjoy his last years of playing football!
Man what a joy to be able to watch him play. Great video!
Soccer in America is for girls 😂 guys in school and college embarrassed to play soccer, If Messi really want to prove himself in America he should play in women soccer league.
1 more trophy coming to his illustrious career
More than a 🐐
He completed football time to complete soccer! 🐐
Soccer in US is growing every year and young generation like 20yrs- 30yrs are into the sport. The older generation denial soccer. But soccer is going to explode in popularity we have Messi playing mls, copa America 2024, club World Cup, and World Cup 2026. And we have good U.S player that upcoming in Europe. It is bright the future of soccer in the U.S.
Messi is changing Americans perspective on football/Soccer That's a Great Challenge for me
Wherever Messi goes it turns to MAGIC
Not in France
@@brohdez8857 In France dont know of football, they dont leverage to GOAT
@@lalogonzalez1694 if France doesnt know football, the US doesnt even know it exists,
@@brohdez8857none can make MAGIC in PSG
Bruh he literally started in barca under the likes of Ronaldinho Xavi and Iniesta and mostly stopped winning titles after they left. Went to psg and won nothing with them. Winning nothing in the MLS is virtually impossible for his caliber. Very gifted player but too much PR around him. If it wasn't for barcas insane midfield back then, he would've likely never been one of the greatest of all time. Guy was lucky to be at the right place at the right time and bringing the necessary amount of unique talent with him
My respects for Raymar for being an American and calling this beautiful sport football. Also congrats on 500k.
crazy to be that pedantic about calling soccer football, but not be able to spell "Raymar" correctly.
@@BeefFondler5000xd my bad he said he got the name cuz of Neymar. But I'll fix it.
Thank you brother 🙏 means so much couldnt have done it with all your support. I hope I can keep making videos to entertain you guys even if its while you eat lunch or use the toilet 😂❤️
I'm from the US, I've called it football for a while now. After watching nothing but European football for ten years, it just becomes second nature. Plus, it actually makes sense. American football is actually called grid iron, but I wouldn't be opposed to calling it hand egg ball
@@FaceAway-xb9hd Technically true, but the word soccer doesn't have much of a ring to it, nor does it make any sense, where calling it football sounds better and actually makes a lot of logical sense. Calling grid iron "football" doesn't make nearly as much sense
2026 FIFA World Cup is going to be hosted in America (jointly with Mexico and my country Canada). Which is already Insane.
We are clearly forgetting that he has two other players from Barcelona prime playing with him In Miami. I’m an old school Messi fan but seriously… he’s one person!
One thing I usually hear and I think is a big mistake is thinking that USA problem is that their stronger athletes choose other sport instead of soccer. Lebron can be a god in basket, but his height is not really enough to make him good at soccer. Good athletic capacitys are necessary, but you won't find a Messi, a Neimar, a Di María, Iniesta or even Lucho Acosta. You must find the young boys that love soccer above all. Those who play with a makeshift ball in the street or in gravel. And then teach them to play.
Remove the "pay to play". Your clubs must aim for the Glory, not for short time revenue. I think the USA (as México also) has the potential to develop some future stars in 15 years. But some mind sets need to change. You can't develop athletes to become football players. You must pick the football players and teach them athletic.
It was either back to Barça for few seasons or taking off one boot somewhere else. Barça couldn't make it happen because of the financial mess created years ago by Bartomeu and his board of muppets. So MLS it is.
And he's happy there. That's enough for me. He has nothing else to prove after the World Cup anyways. He is The Undisputed GOAT, The God of Football and The Messiah to me. 35 years old yet he's playing as if he's in his second prime.
He is something else entirely and we will never ever see someone like him on and especially off the pitch. Still humble and a proper team player. Giving the capn armband to Yedlin was the most Messi thing there is.
I wish to rewind time and relive it all over again because I know the end is very near and I don't want it to end. Football will be beige without him.
Muchas gracias por todo Leo. I fkin love you.
Everything meant he was going to the MLS. Barcelona & La Liga backstabbing him, PSG fans treating him like a 2nd division player, and his family's lifestyle being much more suited to Miami than Saudi Arabia, along with the potential addressed in the video to make football popular in the country with the biggest economy and PR after having completed the sport by winning the World Cup. Top all that with a decent pay from Adidas and Apple and his relationship with Beckham and no other option makes sense.
US doesn't have the biggest economy
Don't delude yourself
@@BLACKSTA361 It has the largest GDP in the world, therefore, it is the largest economy.
@@BLACKSTA361To add to that GDP is the biggest indicator of how healthy a country is. USA being the most means he has the larger potential to himself, his brand, and the sport to grow.
Actually it has ... @@BLACKSTA361
@@gerogyzurkov2259It’s definitely a market that people want to open up, but it’s not going to elevate the game itself loads or anything ……sure it’s one more country that could get in to the game but it already got billions of supporters. The money men invested in making the MLS grow will be very happy - though, it just won’t be able to get anywhere close to the European leagues just based on geography alone.
But let’s say if 50 million American supporters get added to the worldwide fanbase….well it’s still a drop in the ocean geez. Maybe a significant drop if you will, but it’s not gonna revolutionise the sport or anything
As a current highschool soccer player, Messi is a conversation starter.... in the locker room or on the pitch. Other than that, nobody really cares if you don't live in a big city or soccer community like Frisco.
When will you make a video on zlatan ibrahimovic? Been following this channel for 4 yrs and still waiting for the video
Hey brother it will happen in the following weeks I promise you 😭 Thank you for the support all this time honesty means so much
@@RaymarFootball Really? I’ll be waiting 🤭 love watching ur videos keep doing it
Our generation had only 2 players who could make the MLS good, Ronaldinho and Messi, well one of them did it now
CR7 couldn’t? haha
@@RaymarFootballim the older dude... Same age as Messi. I have seen Ronaldinho at his prime. In many ways above both Cristiano and Messi. There was also another legend we dont talk about - Ronaldo Nazario de Lima.
Why because he got fat? Still dominated players though, just not as good as prime Ronaldo 18 destroying la liga.@@unwokeneuropean3590
@@unwokeneuropean3590you’re so blinded by nostalgia i love watching both those Brazilian legends but the numbers messi and cr7 put up are unrivaled
@@RaymarFootball his performances in saudi show that nope, he couldn’t
Raymar the GOAT🐐❤️
He scored 7 freaking goals in the world cup against the top teams in the world at 35 plus 4 assists, that alone makes him the GOAT.
MOTM EVERY MATCH WHILE RONALDO HAD 0 KNOCKOUT GOALS IN WC, THE DEBATE WAS DEAD BEFORE, ITS BURIED NOWWWW
Lets not forget Pele also went to play in US before retiring.
Yeah I out footage of him haha
Those people that brings in messi is a genius. It helps the country to play better football. I have been seeing EPL . I noticed back in Fergie , Wenger time Man utd and Arsenal played better quality of football.
Looking forward to your Ronaldo video, and the impact he's doing now
He will make MLS bigger than NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL combined
Put down whatever you are on…. And take a break from it!
The best sport in the world.... The best player of the best sport in the world... Americans should understand that even Michael Jordan is nothing in comparison to Messi. Total global domination.
How so Michael Jordan was a global icon.
@@majormononoke8958 He was.. This is what im talking about. Jordan was global but Messi is still above him. The true greatness of a 5'7'' dude.
How many more people have actually started to watch MLS more now that Messi is in it?
I can't be the only one who thinks what Dana White said is funny 😭💀
Pah, some non sense. I understand it is a bit of a joke... Anyone can play Go so ?
What a clown
bro's never stepped on a football field before 💀
Dana was trying to build his PR. Every sports is good! There are GOATS in every sport. But still messi is messi. Magical!
@@Escietanica still messi is messi. Magical forever
Also, messi chose miami because its closer to argentina (9hs flight instead of 18+ from saudi arabia)
Congratulations on 500k, Raymar.
Thank you so much brother 🙏 couldnt do it without you guys
Love the content bro, been subbed since 20k, don’t get the low views get to your head bro!♥️
Football or soccer is growing in america I see so many people at my school with jerseys on
Thanks to this years World Cup imo
i only wish they had the club world cup held annually and just expand the teams to 12~16 so that teams from all over the world can play agianst each other. one off ties once every month or two.
one of the only ways to really put "soccer" on the map is to show that there's decent enough quality and entertainment in the MLS. That they can be somewhat competetive against even european teams at least in one off ties.
Raymar, love your videos
I wanted to see him in Barcelona in his final days. But maybe it's for the best for him to not return to his old club. It did not end for well for Christiano Ronaldo when he went back to ManU.
The USA should be happy that the best player in the history plays in their country. They should watch videos of him in his prime to understand how good he was in his prime.
Fun fact about Messi's prime: He played on a higher level in his fifth best season than CR7 in his best season
The thing is, by starting with the best, it looks easy. Only by watching/playing football over and over you understand what is greatness, what is normal, what is an error and what is luck
thank u i ask u to make video about the goat and i didnt think it will be the next tnx raymar god bless u
Messi makes everyone look silly. Especially everyone in the World Cup.
Also what’s holding back MLS is the league itself. They have strict rules for squad registrations. 3 DPs. TAM GAM. 5.2 million salary cap. Etc etc.
But the league is in talks to change those rules in the winter. Messi did speed up that process tho
Those rules are in place so the league doesn't fold on itself like NASL did
The earliest ive been to a video
Love raymar bro
As an American. I'm so happy I got to see Messi play live!
Let's not get it twisted, MLS is actually growing pretty well without Messi. There's been good support in multiple areas in the NW and SW and then if you look at Gen Z numbers soccer is a well followed sport. What Messi does do is crank it up faster, especially in lead up to 2026 WC.
But not mainstream in the league
Ronaldo changing the whole saudi league and Messi making MLS a watchable league
Both are truly the GOATS
But still it is funny how both of them are doing wwe moves in their league
Ronaldo is not the one who is changing the Saudi league.
It is the Saudi themselves whom have planned to make Saudi league a top tier league by buying every top expensive player.
How can there be TWO GOATs? Not possible. Literally mean greatest of all time. As in THE ONE single greatest to ever do it.
@kingmaker2603
Finally someone who is not a dickrider
@analyticguy lil Ronnie went to the best team and helped them not finish 1st in the league. Good job.
Money changed the Saudi league
I am happy that Messi is happy in mls.
my goat
idk about other places in the us but at least here in miami soccer has always been pretty popular
Im happy inter miami and barca agreed to give messi a farewell game at barca
Please do a video on Del Piero
You need to do a video on Histro Stoichkov. People need to be reminded how good that man was.
Pls do a vid on wright Philips he’s really underrated
Messiiiiiii
The Richard Ricardo got me 😂
YO!!
You got 500K subs...🥳🥳
Appreciate all the support man no matter how small it may seem ❤️ couldnt do it without you guys
First he mastered football now he’s mastered soccer
“Lecarlos Vela”🤣 4:49
hahaha thanks for finding it funny 😭
The ultimate challenge
How you don't mention George Best as a legend who went to America and also Franz two huge names
You need to make a video on Messi as a whole thing especially after him being a world champion
I think Messi is my favorite soccer player now. He is putting on a show in the U.S. and the fact he willing to play in the U.S. makes me happy he is here. Long live The GOAT.
He's making them love football/soccer so much that inter miami tickets upwards of 600 usd now 😂😂
I hope he goes out with a bang
Making MSL great again!! It's never been great. Maybe one day but its in the future if it does happen.
Richard Ricardo , man I lost it 😂😂😂
I think she was talking about Daniel Ricciardo
Personally, I think the title should've been "Lionel Messi is going to Elevate American Soccer"
legit a 36 yr old toying the defense, i think i like to watch defense in europe leagues more but messi is cool to watch in mls
Richard Ricardo is craazy😂
Anyway you can do a video on Brazilian soccer and how after the 2006 World Cup showed a drop in Brazil dominance in world cups, maybe you already have a video
🐐🐐🐐
Muy beautiful, muy Maka
6:01 my G strikes again😭😭
What happened to the marco rues vid? I had it in my watch later but it disappeared so u check ur channel and it wasn’t there.
Richard Ricardo 😂
Ah yes the legend alive Richard Ricardo (even Ricardo is Richard but yeah)
Messi aint gonna change much in the 3 years. People will just remember his name and forget about 'soccer'
I wonder why some or most of the football fans have no idea that the first name of this sport was soccer - a short term used by the British for "association football" since the 19th century - while "rugger" was the term for "rugby football". The word "football" was interchangeable for these two sports. The decline of the word "soccer" for the sport occurred in the 1980s, as the rest of the world called the sport "football". However, Americans retained its original name to differentiate it from their own version of rugby football - American Football.
In a different world called america, Messi is Richard Ricardo playing SOCCER as the CAPTAIN of the Major League Soccer.
Fair game.
😭😭😂😭😂 made me laugh brother
edit: Richard Ricardo is what that girl thought Ronaldo’s name was haha
just gosh things 😂😂😂
MLS= MESSI LEAGUE SOCCER 👉🐐👑⚽👈🙏❤️🙏😌👌👌👌
W vid plus second
We have a terrible league here in the USA. As long as there is bigger money on a more consistent basis in football, baseball, hockey and basketball, we in the USA will never have more than a development/retirement league. This is because all the spectacular athletes end up playing those other sports.
makes total sense brother, shame since a lot of pro athletes actually start with football/soccer as a foundation sport
@@RaymarFootballthey go where the big money is….and in the US it’s not soccer!….. and those that do stay in, usually have to end up playing in Europe…. If they are lucky they might land in a first division team!
@@RaymarFootballso why it is a social economic issue ?
Yep he can , and it'll show American that their is bigger world outside then usa and bigger stars
can you make video about how good was rivaldo
You should have made a video about how Cristiano Ronaldo changed the Saudi league.
I'm sure he will.
The G.O.A.T is on a mission
Glad he’s here. It was the best decision for his family. Not everything is soccer 24/7 for him. His family matters
Messi is gonna turn it over their from soccer to football
He also already lives in Miami
The MLS is to EASY lmao 😂
Do US sports have captains or similar system?
I remember when FIFA games had the MLS team in the game, now they would be a force to be reckoned with thanks to the GOAT
😂😂😂……they would get Fucking annihilated by a half decent European or South American team
❤❤
Bro really said Richard Ricardo
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
I dont understand why people despise this guy`s voice so much. It sounds good lol
thank you for the kind words brother 🙏
I mean, it is no surprise. No one was claiming the MLS has premier level talent, really its all about an all time great with a few more young years left to boost the MLS to new heights.
he is the new Captain America! my captain! 😊
