00:02 - Go over to that Leagues Cup here.
00:04 We're gonna move quickly
00:05 'cause there's a lot that took place over the weekend.
00:07 Inter-Miami do grab a win, but as you mentioned,
00:10 it was in penalties, 11 penalties for each of these teams.
00:14 Messi did open the scoring.
00:16 So again, if you're betting Messi to score, you're winning.
00:20 If you're betting him as the first goal scorer,
00:22 that's nice plus money.
00:23 They did not cash outright tickets
00:25 and they were the favorite.
00:26 I believe minus 115 on the triple money line.
00:29 So it ended up being a draw, but they did lift the trophy,
00:32 which was another bettable area there.
00:35 And this game though, did go under
00:37 with a final line here of just one, one.
00:39 So this is one of those things where
00:41 maybe the gap closed a little bit here
00:43 in a final situation, but still backing Messi,
00:46 backing into Miami continues to be an absolute dream
00:50 for the better.
00:51 - And also like you take a look at MLS as a whole,
00:54 if I was commissioner,
00:55 we would have a league wide memo today, Kevin, that said,
00:58 oh, by the way, statistics in the first half don't count.
01:00 The new season starts today.
01:02 Everybody has zero points and away we go.
01:05 And who would argue what soccer fan would have,
01:07 like, you know what?
01:08 That's fantastic.
01:08 That's the way league should actually happen here.
01:10 But just keeping it real about Messi,
01:12 I don't think you can come over and have a bigger impact
01:14 than what he had.
01:15 'Cause we thought like, oh, a couple of cameo appearances,
01:17 the team stinks and he might score a goal,
01:19 but they'll be knocked out.
01:20 They went all the way through and beat the best of the best
01:22 that this league has to offer.
01:24 And now entering into MLS, which the joke is,
01:27 look, Messi is going to be your meal ticket.
01:29 The more he plays, the more their contention,
01:31 if they can make the playoffs, that's gonna be massive.
01:33 I'm telling you, a commissioner's exemption for the Miami
01:36 would be fantastic to watch,
01:38 even though I don't think it's gonna happen.
01:39 But then again, do we even need it?
01:41 Whereas Messi just come back,
01:42 hey, how many games we got, 14?
01:43 That's when 12 of them will be fine.
01:45 Don't worry about it.
