Bigger star in South Florida: Toney or Messi?

[RozayCane]

Messi might be the most popular human on earth. or at least one of em.

Still.. in most neighborhoods in South Florida I think most would know Baby Jesus over him

 

[MedleyCane]

No, don't do this DMoney.

Soccer sucks ….. toney

Soccer played everywhere but in the United States: "Great sport. Like it a whole lot. And go Leeds!"

Soccer played here in the U.S.: "Deport every last person who contributes to its existence. And do it immediately."

More famous on this message board -- Mali

More famous in real life -- Messi -- the guy is one of the most recognizable humans on earth!

The context of the question is "in South Florida". Are you suggesting there are more MLS fans in South Florida than Miami Hurricane fans?

This show sucked. I’ve seen three episodes and they were all about someone having a rare STD and lying about it.

And apparently, it's never Lupus, so why even check?

I know this thread is all “fun & games”. It’s the offseason, so let’s find something to do….

In all seriousness, everyone knows that Messi is a Worldwide sports figure, but if Messi walked pass me in the grocery store, I swear I would NOT know who he is! No disrespect, I’m just guessing there are a lot of folks who may be thinking the same.

However we all know the Black Nazarene… aka the miracle from Liberty City.

This is America brother, majority of this country could give zero ****e about soccer or Messi.

 

[Cribby]

Toney hands down, I still dont know who Messi is.

He’s a famous artist from Spain

 

[Felonious Monk]

Wasn't he a chef or something at Hard Rock Cafe? They have a burger he designed on the menu.

You guys are wild lol South Florida is like 70% Hispanic. There's way more people who don't know who Toney is than Messi down here.

Cuban-Americans, in general, prefer football to soccer by a huge margin. And the national sport is baseball.

I agree Messi is more recognizable. But nobody really cares about him down here. Inter Miami won the title and didn't even have a parade.

Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez are more popular than both Messi and Malachi.
