Im so so happy for Ray Hudson....He is the ONLY commentator that described Messi through words that i couldnt even found , yet my heart knew what my eyes saw ....it was only my mouth that couldnt co-operate and really described what i saw of Messi .. Im 50 years on this planet ..i have seen many many players over the years ....from Maradonna ...and ...and ...and ...I have never seen a more mathematical player then Lionel Messi
Well said my brother 😢 well said. I feel the same way. Words can’t describe what Messi has achieved in his career. That’s the difference between him and other players .
As a latino, I often hear that English speaking commentators are terrible for football. I tell them.. you haven't heard Ray Hudson. They are blown away
the style of game Messi plays, he is always impactful. Those who say otherwise does not understand the game. He is the best dribbler, the best assist, the best scorer, a visionary in the field. what else you need? He is a full package
I wish Ray Hudson will commentate on every Messi game. He is such a delight to listen to. His expression on the magnificence of Messi brought our consciousness to a different level of awareness. I hope to hear him soon!
I love Hudson and Peter Drury - they're giants in their own right. I should give a shout out to Alan Fountain from the PBS program "Soccer Made In Germany"... and I'll bet that Hudson and Drury both took a lesson from Fountain's style, commentary, and excitement seamlessly merged with excellent English lexicon.
From the earliest days of Bien Sports channel and Gol Tv being offered by our cable provider, Ray Hudson has been creating memorable moments for me and my friends and family on par with those playing out on the pitch as he described them. To this day, we will quote some of his most memorable prose, should a situation of proper magnitude arise. Obviously, there’s been no greater muse for Ray than The Little Argentine Wizard. To hear that he lives only a mile and a half from the inter-Miami home ground was perfect additional nugget of detail that the story needs. The conquering hero, come to pen what likely will be among the last chapter of his football playing legend, and doing it in the presence of the bard who has so faithfully served to put his nearly indescribable feats into words. To provide the vocal accompaniment to the bold, sweeping symphonic movements being performed on the pitch. Magic!!
Indians are finally convinced that their loved one, the little boy from Resario, the living Legend, the Man who accomplished Mordern Era Football, the Magesterial is now going to be into the lap of our Mother Nature. Inter Miami… that lap is you and the warmth you people are giving to Messi has not only made the Miami beautiful but has made the whole cosmos to fall in love with Miami. Magic is around and is about to take place in Inter Miami…waiting to see the large hearted man back on the pitch. Messi Messi 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ray use to actually add to my excitement when I was watching Messi matches on a regular basis because I found him so entertaining to listen to. I was always a bit disappointed when I put on a Messi match showed by Bein Sports, and I didn't hear Ray on the commentary. I would love to be watching Messi play in Inter Miami, while ray is on the commentary :)
I just came here to hear Ray, because he represent my feelings towards Messi. I literally would pay extra in apple to listen trough his commentaries. I would love to hear his commentaries or reactions for the first 5 Messi games. Anyone know if that exist?
This magisterial story is not yet complete without Ray Hudson announcing these games for Inter Miami. Someone tell Beckham and lads to sign Hudson on for the remainder of this season!!! Please!!!
My favorite commentator ever you are truly greatness, you are the master of play upon words, similies and metaphor 😂. Whenever am watching a game and he is on I am like this game is going to be great 🎉
Funny story that 1:45 made me think of. It was like 5:00AM for me, I was half asleep and all of a sudden I have a dream where I'm scrolling past headline talking about how Messi had chosen Inter Miami, so I open my eyes and pick up my phone and the first notification I see is a one football notification that Messi had indeed chosen the MLS...lol. Truly weird stuff, the end of an era but also it feels happy. He's done everything he could have possibly don't and now he gets to wind down and enjoy his football as long as he wants to before retiring. I hope and do believe that one day Messi will get the send off at camp nou that he deserves and that culers deserve, it might be as an official player but we all know that he'll aways be a Barca player. Obviously it makes me really sad to see players like Ronaldo, Benzema and etc. leaving and honestly I feel like as of today football won't be the same but in a few years we'll be looking back fondly on these magical last two decades. I think I'm going to go watch some of Messi's best goals, of course narrated by the golden poet that is Ray Hudson.
Lo felicito Mr Ray Hudson ... En breve, vera FÚTBOL del bueno y podra " decorarlo apropiadamente " ... Y vera como se " revolucionara " Miami y La Florida ... 😎👍🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
I know right and it's still ranked about 10 league's above the camel league in terms of world football. And it shows Messis character as he was getting offered millions and millions more to move to the camel 🐫 league, I am shocked that Messi done what he said he was going to do a decade ago, when all those years ago Messi said he would love to move to the states with his family and play in the MLS and maybe finish his career there, how dare Messi stick to his word and choose his family over money and camels 🐫🐫. Lmfao you absolute 🤡, it's not like Messi has completed football either how dare he decide where he wants to live and play.
Miami gets Messi, Busquets and Jordi. I just became an inter miami fan (I live in Tampa). (Been FC Barcelona fan for 30 years). The MLS will never be the same. “Put your seatbelts on it’s gonna be a wild ride” -Pep Guardiola’s words when he became FCB coach.
MANY OF US I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR RAY HUDSON FOR A LONG TIME FOR THE WORLD CUP 2022, WHEN MESSI WAS BECOMING THE WORLD CHAMPION AND WE CANNOT FIND HIM!!!!!
If nothing else.... This choice cements his status as the G.O.A.T. To decide to go to the MLS, to elevate the level of football in America, is far more respectable than players going to Saudi Arabia for the $
I can imagine Ronaldo watching all this and kicking himself for going for the money and to cement the highest career goalscoring records in a league against third rate defenses.
Amo a RAY HUDSON, fue uno de los primeros comentaristas deportivos que confío en Messi y a la vez lo admiraba con comentarios poéticos. aunque vi este video un poco tarde ( vengo del futuro donde MESSI y en INTER MIAMI ganaron 4- 0 en su segundo partido, convirtiendo 2 goles). Saludos desde Argentina!!
Jon Sekander Messi always played with great players around him that fits the system,Now you could imagine him playing with bunch of zero scales team mates, It would be very frustrating event to watch " I wish him the best ` Love from Kabul ,
hears a line for ya ray ... pele was the big bang that brought into being the mls.... leo messi is the dark energy accelerating the expansion of the footballing world here in the us. string theory isnt a dead end to messi he laces his boots with it .... some times he seems to attach that sting to ball at will.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Many people admire young, energetic players, but look at their stats and put them next to Messi's stats up until 5 months ago. how many young players can match until they are the same age as messi
I am trilled Messi is moving to MLS ! However I think Messi still has talent for copa libertadores or competitions in South America . Is hard to imagine him play concacaf completions with the level of North American football level (except USA ) which is growing ….. would be sad to see that because the rest of the leagues are mediocre…
Ray Hudson is the Messi of poetic commentary
My all-time favorite broadcaster! I’m not necessarily a Messi fan, but I could listen to Hudson describe paint dry!!
Peter drury is far better

Love Ray Hudson, his iconic commentary was a huge part of my teenage years .
So happy for him, he deserves this
God bless Messi tenure in MLS. Empower him and crown him with more success and peace, Joy and health

There is HUGE potential in the
American league!
Welcome to Ray and the greatest footballer EVER!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊
Can't wait to hear Ray Hudson commentary on Lionel Messi when he starts to play for Inter Miami! Magisterial Messi !!!!!
Ray Hudson commentates for mls????
@@compabuzzy I hope he will be commentating for Inter Miami games at least.
RAY HUDSON IS COMING TO AMERICA!
When this man talks about Messi my eyes tear up... What a legend mr Hudson is.

Magic!!
there's another copa america to be won, not to mention another world cup. Messi will surely still be fit enough by then
Hope Ray does the commentary 🐐🐐🐐
Ray Hudson coaching Miami Fusion FC and getting us a Supporter's Shield is one the better moments of my sporting early twenties
Showing your age
“ I will be taking my talents to south beach 🏖 “ 🐐 to 🐐 You can’t think of Leo without ray, he’s gotta do the mls inter games
Ray Hudson n Peter dury..God of commentary
If they both commenting together , I could probably get excited without even looking at the screen.
I didn't care for football, until I heard Ray Hudson call it. A giant.
God I love Ray Hudson. Our Ray of Sunshine!

Que lindo ver como Messi es muy querido tambien en Estados Unidos :)
So happy to see Ray on the show, smile on my face through the whole clip
Ray Hudson is a poet of a commentator. True passion given voice.
MESSI IS THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER AND THE MOST SPETACULAR ATHLETE WELCOME TO USA GOAT

I'm so happy for Ray, I hope you enjoy him live half as I did at Camp Nou.
Most honest description with great humanity from someone who knows the sport. Mr Ray you are so correct in rating Messi as beyond our imagination.
I remember the first time I heard Ray call a match back in around 2012...Never wanted to hear anyone else call another match for Barca again.
Magisterial! Miss Ray's commentary SO much!
What a treat! Ray's commentary has always been over the top in the most delightfully delicious way.
Ray Hudson !The Legend!❣👏
He is the poetic commentator. He makes you fully engage in the beauty of Messi
Verbal Gymnast 🔥🔥

Gol TV with Hudson and Schoen was awesome for those old La Liga games back in the day
Beautiful poetry, what a delight it is to here Ray Hudson describe Messi and the game of futbol

The name if the game is FOOTBALL !
Well done, Rog! Another great interview!
Messi needs to make a surprise visit to Ray Hudson’s house with a translator and give him a signed shirt then Ray Hudson’s life would be complete.
Gotta love the great Ray Hudson.
Ray one of my best broadcasters.
MiB, ray and lionel messi. what an amazing episode.
my football world in a nutshell.
Ray Hudson is the GOAT of football commentators
I have almost died laughing at the stuff Ray says commentating. How can we get him to cover every soccer game?
Ray Hudson is the best!
Looooove Ray ❤❤❤
This man ❤️
Messi's born on June 24! I love it when Ray says he's got better. Change his manner of playing.
Me too!
Leo❤️❤️
More of this!! I need more now!
Higauin was an amazing signing, I cant prove it... but i know that helped secure Messi!
Yes Ray, totally agree. Any sports is good, if we can make everyone love sports whatever it is we are on it.
My GOLDING KING MESSI ❤❤❤❤❤
I feel veru HAPPY for magistérial Ray and aaaalll rest of us to have Messi this close,right in our kitchen.😊
Love Ray
How cool will it be when Messi plays in some little stadium in the middle of nowhere USA in the US Open Cup

Had to find the Hudson Messi commentary highlights after this
If nothing else.... This choice cements his status as the G.O.A.T.
To decide to go to the MLS, to elevate the level of football in America, is far more respectable than players going to Saudi Arabia for the $
I am glad he did not go so Saudi as well, but his marketing earnings in US will be astonishingly high, probably make 400 mill in endorsements.
I can imagine Ronaldo watching all this and kicking himself for going for the money and to cement the highest career goalscoring records in a league against third rate defenses.
He’s still going to make a ton of money at MLS
@@maximusprimus827 Oh stop talking about money. It's ruining football.
Messi said he´s interested in being a good person. I think he is a role model for young ppl.

Bro he carried barcelona in 18-21, and argentina for most of his carrrer, we don't need more proof.
Ray hudson is a messi commentator genius
Great video nice to see rog raise a Bud Light, in the state of no empathy
I cant wait to go
hears a line for ya ray ... pele was the big bang that brought into being the mls....
leo messi is the dark energy accelerating the expansion of the footballing world here in the us.
string theory isnt a dead end to messi he laces his boots with it .... some times he seems to attach that sting to ball at will.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
does that mean we get ray hudson back commentating messi???
Apple TV needs to hire Ray Hudson for commentary
Love that Rog reps his White Sox gear, the Everton of Chicago baseball teams to the Cubs/Liverpool.
Excelente
Messi go to MLS just want to meet Ray Hudson.👏👏

" like a child in a tulip field" was one of his lines he used for messi.... Lol.. I love how commentates
🔥🔥🔥Last saudi bid was:
$1.71 billion for two years + Messi keeps all commercial revenue😮💨😮💨😮💨 Still, Messi said NO🤯🤯🤯
I wish he commentated the world cup 2022.
Rog and Ray on the same pod. Is there a wormhole that just opened up or something?
M IN MLS TOO IS MESSI NOW
MESSI LEAGUE SOCCER ..
not kidding, most people have only knowledge about it is that, there plays MESSI
