and helped start up U.S. interest in soccer.

Steven Gerrard is another big-name player to accept a west coast offer in the U.S. and in addition most recently also refused the Saudi offers to opt for Liverpool, I think he took that job after his Ranger Manager career.

I saw an internet video on Gerrard dealing with the low energy of the U.S. soccer world and how his career on U.S. soil was short-lived.

Maybe Messi in Miami will find much better vibes; he will certainly be welcomed like a king in South FL.
