there is a big difference between messi and ronaldo, messi is more talented, but he is not the most popular, so this change from messi to usa league will not make the usa league become popular, on the contrary messi will be forgotten by all people and I believe that is exactly what messi wants, he probably wants to live his life away from pressure from news channels and fans, if messi wanted more fame and money he would have gone to saudi arabia, so this is my theory that messi will no longer be popular as he is currently after playing for some time in the US it could come to fruition
I do not agree that Mess would be forgotten since he has moved to the MLS. Maybe that's what he wants, but I doubt he's going to get it. So many people idolize Messi and he will never be forgotten even if he stops playing football today. Messi joining the MLS may not open doors to other players from Europe as it is in the Arabian league, but that is because the MLS doesn't have the kind of money the Arab league has to spend on players.
If we are, to be honest, The Arabian teams are not using Ronaldo joining thing league as a bargaining chip, their money talks.
that's why in my opinion creating a thread about MLS won't attract much attention here on the forum, but speaking in terms of quality I can say that I like to watch MLS games, I don't watch them constantly but I place bets and sometimes I watch the games, they have a very good quality in the teams, they are one of the few leagues in which I like to watch their games when the main leagues in Europe end. if i were to make a comparison between MLS teams with saudi arabia teams i would say that MLS teams play better than saudi arabia teams
The quality of football in the MLS is definitely better than the quality of football in Saudi. It's not debatable.
The MLS has been mainstream for a while. The money might make the Saudi league popular but it won't necessarily increase the quality of football there, The South American leagues have a very high ceiling when it involves the quality of football but they don't have that much money.
