Bigger star in South Florida: Toney or Messi?

[Dwinstitles]

Lots of folks in this country follow this sport. He was probably at a high end restaurant with fellow diners recognizing him but choosing not to bother him. Those sort of establishments have people who know better and are around celebrities. They are not going to show up wearing tube socks and oversized NFL jersey with matching cap asking for autographs.

By the way, last week I was driving up and down soFla and at a couple of Florida Turnpike stations the local stores were selling a bunch of Argentine/Messi jerseys. Nothing on the Florida teams.

I only can speak for the hood, I grew up in the hood and anyone that had interest in soccer in my friend group was like 1 person. And then he got into football and basketball and those became his main. He knew everything but most people dont care for it I am not trying to be a ****. I know its the worlds most popular sport but here it isn't even in the top 3. Unless that has changed I dont see it still with my eye balls at least. Some people play it I see but its not the sport here where I am at, most city HS kids play football and basketball thats it.

If I walked by a soccer player not named the Portugal guy whatever his name is, I wont know who they are foreal. It's a great sport and takes major skills I just dont enjoy it too much unless its the world cup.
