NFL star Jason Kelce expressed the difference in watching Lionel Messi play for Inter Miami in MLS compared to seeing him with the Argentina national team in Europe. During the most recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce and his brother Travis praised the NFL’s decision to host the Eagles-Packers game in Brazil. The conversation shifted to soccer, with Jason highlighting the distinctions between Major League Soccer and other leagues. When Travis mentioned Messi’s recent game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Jason stood by his opinion that Messi’s presence in MLS does not compare to his time in Europe. Despite Travis’s defense of MLS, Jason maintained his stance.
Jason Kelce pointed out that when Lionel Messi plays in Miami, it’s a whole different ball game compared to his past teams.
Following his success in leading Argentina to the FIFA World Cup in 2022, Messi made the decision to join Major League Soccer.
Travis Kelce had a friendly debate with his brother on the New Heights podcast where they discussed soccer leagues. Jason made it clear that he wasn’t criticizing Major League Soccer (MLS), but highlighted that international soccer takes precedence in his view. On the other hand, Travis, a three-time Super Bowl winner, stood by MLS and argued that the Premier League is his main focus.
Despite the disagreement, Travis continued to defend the level of play in MLS, while Jason maintained that it doesn’t compare to Messi’s previous leagues. Jason clarified that he’s not against watching MLS, but he believes the standard is different from international competitions or top European leagues.
After leading Argentina to victory in the 2023 FIFA World Cup, Messi surprised everyone by joining Inter Miami, co-owned by David Beckham. Messi’s presence at the club immediately made an impact, leading them to their first Leagues Cup and a US Open Cup Final appearance.
During the discussion, Jason made a comparison, stating that watching a legendary player like Michael Jordan on the golf course is not the same as seeing him in his prime playing for the Chicago Bulls. The banter between the brothers added a light-hearted touch to the conversation about different soccer leagues.
Messi recently took to the field at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Kansas City Chiefs usually play their home games.
After reaching Miami, Messi guided The Herons to victory in the Leagues Cup, securing their first club trophy.
Travis compared Messi’s MLS stint to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s time in the league from 2018 to 2020, emphasizing the impact of having such soccer superstars playing in the United States. He argued that while watching Messi in action for Inter, Milan, Barcelona, and PSG is impressive, it doesn’t quite compare to witnessing him play in Kansas City. Travis insisted that Messi’s move to MLS was just as significant as Ibrahimovic’s, as both players brought excitement and skill to the league. On the other hand, Jason acknowledged the positive effect of Messi joining Miami’s team on American soccer but maintained that Messi’s impact in MLS doesn’t quite reach the level of excitement and passion seen when he plays for Argentina on the world stage.
