  1. Just more indirect evidence for me that the League's cup was rigged. We already have all of the numbers that the MLS and apple love to brag about for bringing Messi into the cup, and LETTING him reach the final match.

    Just keep it coming. More, please. More stuff like this.

  2. I'm surprised that's the only award he's up for. They're milking his name for every penny it's worth and that's quite clear.

  3. If Messi wins, 1) it will make headlines 2) fans all over the worls will loooooovvvvvve and 3) it will draw attention to the MLS.

    I for one, knew of and head o MLS when Messi was announced.
    Many in mu country had never heard of MLS b4 Messi. So, it makes him new comer of the year. He put MLS on the map.

  4. True nonsense. He won a non-MLS cup in the US. He got "improved" his team from last place to second-to-last place. It's nonsense proving that most individual awards are popularity contests and the MLS is doing this for ratings not because of anything Messi did after joining the retirement league.

  5. Again, that's why Messi has a lot of haters. Not deserved. At this point, people just want to keep him revelant

  6. Completely agree with Herc. This league is acting silly and devaluing these awards. I love watching Messi as much as the next guy, but he didn't even really have a chance to earn this award in MLS play.

  7. I'm a huge Messi fan, will defend him against my own family, but even I think this is ridiculous πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ bro played 6 MLS games he's won everything why consider him when there are other players who deserve some recognition? Yeah I don't think Messi would even agree to this

  8. We will see if they are going to sell so many tickets in MLS playoff games.
    League knows what they were doing.
    Y all don't pay the players so y all don't have to know y all need to shut up and watch leaders fix it.
