It is unbelievable, and I wish that we were talking about it more and talking more about the on-field stuff than, hey, why is nobody caring?

Yeah, he's just an alien.

There isn't real precedence for what he's doing.

Obviously, MLS is a lesser league than La Liga or England or France or whatever.

But he's still doing this with the Argentine national team.

He's still viewed as one of the very best players in the world.

At his age, obviously pace and agility and the physical attributes matter, but it's his brain, it's his technique.

While his left foot is the best of all time, I think his best ability is his intelligence of movement and his way to camouflage himself within the action because there is nobody that you should be paying attention to more if you're a defender.

And he constantly finds ways to just hide and then sprint and it's a tap-in.

And people are like, oh, why aren't you marking Messi?

He's just so smart, and I think that's his best quality.

It's jarring to me.

It's weird that he keeps saying, I don't know if I'm going to play at the World Cup, when at first it was, I just want to wear the crest one more time with the gold logo after winning the World Cup.

And then he continues to play.

He continues to be really, really great.

And he still says things like, I don't know.

Obviously, he's playing at the World Cup.

Is he doing what the committee's doing with Notre Dame-Miami, just like keeping us interested?

If he said yes a year ago, then we're not asking.

Then he wouldn't be continuing to play in friendlies.
