The greatest player of all time is wrapping up the best season in MLS history and virtually everyone — from league diehards to general American sports fans to the broader soccer world — just straight up doesn't care. This is (a) sociologically interesting and (b) an utter catastrophe for MLS
Looks like Messi has locked in the golden boot along with the MVP award for 2025. What a historic season
