A journeyman midfielder from Finland gets a chance to play with a soccer legend. He’s making the most of the moment. |
he seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has already proved to be a revelation across the pond, bringing in a whole new level of attention to the sport in the United States.
Shirt sales and viewing figures have been through the roof but Messi has more than backed up the hype with his performances on the pitch.
Messi has scored seven goals in four Leagues Cup games, including two outrageous late free-kicks.
The Argentine ace is yet to taste defeat in a Herons shirt, after an 85th minute dead-ball strike equaliser led to a penalty shoot-out win over FC Dallas.
The transformation on Inter has been monumental given the side were struggling under Phil Neville. One fan expected it though and a screenshot of his outrageous bet has been doing the rounds.
When Messi left Paris Saint-Germain and put pen to paper with David Beckham's franchise, @Bradm1nBets whacked a £50.00 bet on.
He tipped Messi to win the MLS Golden Boot, getting odds of 40/1. Incredibly, those odds have now shortened to 5/1 and that's without the 36-year-old even making a single league appearance.
Currently, Hany Mukhtar of Nashville leads the scoring charts with 13 goals from 24 matches.
