TIM HOWARD: Soccer in the United States has just five years to cash in on Lionel Messi and Inter Miami's world-trotters...MLS must loosen its purse strings NOW to encourage more super clubs to grow

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 30, 2024
TIM HOWARD: I like the hunted vs. the hunters in sports. The dynasties. The Big Six in the Premier League has something special about it. Some people believe parity is amusing because you never know what you're going to get from year to year. However, we love villains and heroes in the end. The haves and the have nots are split into two categories. Is there a way to bring that to Major League Soccer?To have two, three or four Super Teams, all playing simultaneously? Top players are able to entice former teammates to visit Marquee. Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and now Luis Suarez have all been to make it to the Inter Miami podium. That seems to be the way.

PETE JENSON: Xavi was never supposed to be the second coming of Pep Guardiola for Barcelona... the club legend has been underappreciated, undermined, and never stood a chance against the Catalan giants

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 29, 2024
PETE JENSON: Underappreciated and then slashed, Spain and Barça's legendary Xavi had no intention of visiting Barcelona. The club has form for chewing up and spitting out its stars, but the 44-year-old, who won every aspect of the game for club and country, is now in danger of being remembered more for his comical last season at the club he adores than for his numerous trophies. It's long been established that he is not Pep Guardiola's second coming. He isn't a visionary nor does he have the same lightning quick mental skills to switch games from the touchline. But he still won La Liga last season, Barcelona's first without Lionel Messi, and who's to say it won't be their last game for a long time. He made the biggest mistake not to use that triumph to build a power base within the club. He should have laid down markers having won the trophy, but instead, he allowed others at the club to make all the changes.
