The FIFA Women's World Cup gets underway Thursday, and Team USA is a solid favorite to repeat as champion. But for the moment at least, focus is on the world's greatest as he is set to make his Miami MLS debut this coming Friday.
The Argentinian superstar had plenty to say ahead of his first Major League Soccer game.
"I want to thank all the people in Miami for this welcome, this affection since I arrived here," Messi said. "I am very excited to be here with you. Thank José, Jorge and David for this recognition, for making everything easier, to feel at home."
"I think that my colleagues and I are going to give everything to build this project and I am very happy to have chosen this city, to have chosen this project," he added. "I have no doubt that we are going to have a great time and we are going to experience very nice things. Thank you for this day."
