As Messi retires from international play, he'll continue on with Inter Miami. His place in fútbol is secure. His legacy in the U.S. won't be determined by what he does on the field, however. It'll be reflected more by how and when MLS owners alter rules. https://t.co/6fpkEFnv1M 6.4K views · 36 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies 31 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

@PaulTenorio @TheAthletic How about this, no playoffs? Home and away. That’s it. Best team has the most points. Maybe stop trying to Americanize the sport. 652 views · 6 likes · 0 reposts · 7 replies 20 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

@PaulTenorio There is zero reason to have season tickets for an @mls team. You fund their indecision and have little benefit to it. 440 views · 11 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 20 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

@PaulTenorio I strongly disagree with any further expansion of the playoffs. And really, the number of playoff teams should be rescued to 10-12. This is my biggest beef with MLS. Too many playoff teams cheapens the playoffs and the regular season. 949 views · 13 likes · 0 reposts · 3 replies 20 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

MLS wants to create more games of consequence. To do that, it is increasing the playoff field so that 20 of 30 teams make it in. Yes, really. Can it sell that this makes regular season games matter more? That's a tough sell. Complicated for fans, too. https://t.co/K7LlHLG46B 58.2K views · 203 likes · 17 reposts · 68 replies 20 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

I'm thrilled to announce my book, The Messi Effect, comes out June 9 and is available now for preorder. It takes you behind the scenes of Messi in Miami and into the MLS boardroom as owners debate how to grow in a fast-evolving American soccer landscape. https://t.co/vqJ7tzTGCM 183.5K views · 558 likes · 78 reposts · 42 replies 05 Dec 2025 · Open on X →
