odessasteps Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 From what I was hearing, he's also deals lined up with Apple and either Nike or Adidas. I wonder if choosing Miami will cost him his KSA spokesman gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Likely, but the word is that his wife was cool with living in Miami and REALLY REALLY didn't want to live in KSA, so, yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 You don't want to play the "how much money does an athlete need" card, but I'm sure he could turn down the KSA offer and still be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 A cursory glance shows he's paid almost € $8m in fines by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami Herald: Quote Messi’s complicated deal will include salary, bonuses and equity in the team. It is valued between $125 million and $150 million. League sponsors Apple and Adidas are still working on deals with Messi and will be based on the growth of revenues Messi generates.

SirFozzie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 https://www.espn.com/soccer/match/_/gameId/659817 Proof that the New England Revolution are better than Lionel Messi! (Ok, the small detail that Messi didn't play, as he needs some time off before joining Inter Miami as his PSG season just ended, but details, details.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I have two Manchester City friends in Pete and Alyson's husband, David. I have two Manchester United in Glenn and Mathew. Such contrasting emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 One thing that serie a does that's cool is if two teams are tied on points for a meaningful spot, rather than deciding on goal difference they have a playoff.. currently Verona is beating Spezia 3-1 in the first half. Winner stays in serie a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Shades of Suarez for Uruguay, player saves certain goal by literally slapping the ball away, and although sent off, the goalie saves the subsequent penalty. https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1667990373753589760 Verona's keeper is playing an absolute blinder.

odessasteps Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 RIP Silvio Burlseconi. I guess this could go in the general section, but I presume he is likely best known for his role in football, as opposed to politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Rest In Peace? Berlusconi?? You must not know very much about him. He's like if the Italian Epstein and the Italian Trump were the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I was going to add the bunga bunga stuff., but figured I'd let someone else di it if they wanted. Also figured giving someone an RIP is not an explicit endorsement of their achievements/notoriety. I guess I could have just put he passed away.

But I'm guessing he's not showing up until July sometime. Hell, they haven't even put his jersey on sale yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I thought contracts in Europe ran until June 30. Might be different thus year bc of the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
