  1. 😂😂😂 how miserable looks this reporter… it is a game, and they understand that .. what is he asking for … for somebody should punch him.

  2. Lol he acts like other teams can do something about it. Message been doing this for decades against every country in the world, if somebody could do something about it they would’ve by now 😆

  3. The best form of respect is to beat your opponent swiftly and let them know you're not holding back. It applies to every great player in any sports, including Messi. Ale, struck it on the head!! This is what made the RM and Bayern Munich Champions League matches amazing losing or winning against Barcelona with Messi. I'm no fan of either of the three, but what made them spectacular, was teams came in and had to scrap out and not f*** up one bit or else it would spell a loss. It's taken well talented teams to have beaten that squad, because players respected how good Messi was, but also understood the task and that there was a time and place. I haven't even thrown my team, Atletico Madrid and the great wins they slapped on Barcelona during those spells. I can only wish my Sounders are a team to beat Inter Miami, but they have issues of their own and barely look like they can beat a u-19 squad.

  4. I cant believe you even have a show if that's your opinion. its a game, he is the GOAT, he is the players idol, give them a break. Jealous much??

  5. Lol what is he talking about with autographs. Of course he wanted an autograph. It is a generational treasure. If someone lost with meryl streep to Oscars , they still would want a picture with her.

  6. FC Cincinnati didn't play within the 120 mins. like they were in awe of Messi, matter of fact they were the better team. The coach even said the Cincinnati team as a whole was heartbroken that they lost. Guys I'm old school also but this is a new generation that can separate competition from admiration. Jeez guys they took Inter Miami to penalty kicks and lost, it's not like they didn't compete.

  7. Ale looks so aggressive, negative talking against Messi. You forgot man his is Messi. People become crazy to see him why not player. If you were there you done same thing 😅

  8. Sos un pobre ignorante y AMARGOO!!! No entendes nada. Hacete ver por un profesional que te saque el odio que tenes adentro tóxico. No se como alguien así puede estar en un programa que se hace llamar serio.

  9. I mean, I understand where you’re coming from with the “pride” and “respect” for your club and all. I get the angle. And yeah you should have that. But I also completely understand the players wanting to have something to commemorate their time playing against the greatest of all time.

    A once in a lifetime opportunity. Someone they have undoubtedly seen since before they played professionally.

    Who is anyone to criticize them for wanting a photo or whatever. Get over yourselves lol.

  10. To that Hispanic "journalist" inciting to hate, violence and revenge: The players left everything they had on the field, we fan can't tell. They did the job and more, they lose, that happens, but going, after work, to ask the greatest player if the game for an autograph, it's SPORTSMANSHIP. And that's the way it should be, respect for each other, as professional players they are. Especially Knowing they might not have the chance to be with Messi anymore. Stop spreading hate.

  11. I, like many on this chat, never ever watched a MLS game, ever, till Messi came, so to that venezuelan kid, stop spreading hate, after the game ended, it's good to see the players showing respect for each other and nothing wrong to ask the Greatest fir an autograph. Respect and sportsmanship, I hope we never lose it and its not for the faint of heart like this Venezuelan guy.

  12. You can’t hate on players for asking for selfies and autograph from Messi and that’s not the reason y they lost , they played their all but Messi happened.

  13. When Cincinnati lost the penalty, they already lost. There is nothing more they could’ve done. Getting photo and signed jersey from Messi made the night isn’t the total loss.

  14. You two main buffoons are miserable jealous pri..cks. You guys think that its all about winning and competition? Is it tv ratings and being unflexible with your rants? What is you guys problem? You got beat by the best player in history. Suck it up

  15. The reason you all are clown and just barking in small studio …..they just jealous of messi…why this people not asking me for autograph ….this clown evert time need to introduce themselves …while messi known by 7 billion people ….
    Advice espn …use burnol it will helps you

  16. These guys have jealousy within them. There is nothing wrong with taking selfies or autographs with Messi. He is a phenomenon. The game is over. Nothing is gonna change the result so it's ok to take selfies with the GOAT! I hate that Ale is insinuating that Cincinnati lost because they didn't mark Messi. That's totally untrue. Messi is a genius and those 2 assists were incredible. He won the game for Inter simply because he always finds a way. Stop saying it's because they didn't mark him!!

  17. We ausies give credit where it’s due.
    During the game our players fought their hearts out.
    And after the match they shake hands and get an autograph what exactly is wrong with that.
    It is sport after all.

  18. Its funny how they take 10 min to praise messi and what hes doing in the MLS yet when ronaldo does the same in Saudi they take 4 minutes to clown him discredit him and say it's a circus yet the league is more competitive than the MLS. Just biased and pathetic. Not to mention ronaldo at 36 was the top scorer in the serial a and close to being a top scorer in the Prem at 37 in the shittest man utd team in years

  19. You give your all on the pitch and plan whatever for the end of the match. They did… They competed and lost. They don't have to lose the opportunity of taking pictures with the guy too… I don't agree that planning to have photographs or autographs before the match shows they were not willing to compete. It's the game and it is what it is… You can plan for those things and still compete which they did… They lost in extra-time. Give them some credit
