I didn't think that was the topic of discussion. The topic is about The Mls and Saudi premier league in case you missed it.

I have got to admit I made some exaggerations concerning Inter Miami because of course I don't have the facts off hand and am a bit too busy to begin cross checking my facts.
But you have to admit that everything I posited was closer to the truth than farther from it.


*Alba joined Miami at 34.
Busquets joined at 35.
Suarez joined at 36.


Felix joined Al Nassr at 25.
Coman joined at 29.
Mane joined at 31.
Inigo joined at 34.

Yes some exaggerations but you could see that them Miami players were way past their primes relative to the Al Nassr players.



*Miami finished the 2020 season at 10th out of 14.
The 2021 season at 11th out of 14.
The 2022 season at 6th out of 14.
The 2023 season at 14th out of 15.

Again I made an exaggeration so I change my narrative from "bottom 3 team" to "bottom table team"
😁




Finally, yeah Miami had Messi, Alba and Busquets in the 2023 season but that was only for about 3 months,,
And they finished 14th position.

But by their first full season 2024,
Messi was 37.
Alba was 35.
Busi was 36.
Suarez was 37.

How could you call them the best team with these grandpas?😁
Despite that they still carried Miami to a 1st position finish.

That was some feat!

Without checking am sure Higuain, Beckam, Ibra and co didn't go to lowly teams like Inter Miami at the time.
And how many trophies did they win with their teams?


As for Ronaldo it is surprising that he couldn't win the league till now!

The same dude who was touted for years as singlehandedly winning numerous champions leagues titles for Madrid.
Remember it was said Messi needed Iniesta and Xavier but Ronaldo didn't get help from any player, he carried his teams singlehandedly. grin

Superman Ronaldo was supposed to be 3 players in one for Al Nassr na.
grin
Adding the laughing emojis doesn't exonerate you from posting false information. And to make things worse. Even your response and fake apology is filled with lies still. How do you keep forgetting we are on the internet?

Alba is 37 today but according to you he was 35 in 2023 when he joined inter Miami.
Messi is 38 as of today, but according to you he was 37 in 2023 when he joined...smh
Busquets is 37 today but according to you he was 35 in 2023 when he joined...smh
Only suarez you got correctly which I already pointed out that even players like Ibrahimovic was there and dominated at that age. It's not tough work.
What you are failing to acknowledge is the fact that inter Miami bought what we call half engine to service their machine. That machine became far better than what anyone else had in the league.
Imagine a team in the mls brought in Salah, Mane Trent Arnold, van dijk and jorgen klopp even as 34 year olds, which MLS team will be able to stop them?

Back to Al Nassr, you have mentioned the players Coman, inigo martinez and Felix talking like they are in their prime, Felix had failed all over Europe after leaving benfica, mane had failed in Bayern and Martinez obviously was 34...you consider this prime...but 34 year old Alba, busquets, were out of their prime. Anyways these guy are only in their first season with Al nassr and they are on top of the league with one game to go. The one time Ronaldo has some form of competency around him, they are going to win it. This is what you are failing to acknowledge with Messi's inter Miami move.

Not once have I seen anyone say only Ronaldo can win the league for Al nassr. As a matter of fact, Ronaldo doesn't defend...he isn't a goal keeper...he needs a team to do it. Which leads us back to the main topic of this thread. Which league is tougher...when you compare the quality of opponents each team has to face, it's undeniably the Spl.

Anyways, for one last time, bring any Mls team that had a better talent pool than inter Miami in 2024 regular season

Inter Miami; one of the newest teams in the MLS finished 14th position out of 15 teams in the Eastern conference.
Isn't that bottom 3?
Being new and placing second to last technically makes them a very very small team, a very lowly team. 😁

You're very funny sha!

Washed up Suarez, Alba and Busquets is what you bring uphuh
So hilarious.. grin cheesy

Messi played alongside Suarez, Alba and Busquets at arguably the smallest club in the MLS.
All over 36 years old.

Ronaldo has been playing alongside Jao Felix, Mane, Coman, Inigo Martinez who are still relatively young at a top 4 team in Saudi.
All under 30 years old.

I don't know what you're trying to prove but it's so glaring that Messi has had a much much much more difficult job.
It's you who is funny. Inigo martinez is 35, Mane is 34. You forget we are conversing over the internet? Inter Miami did finish 14th in the 2023 regular season the one time out of their long history of 4 seasons. How does this justify your 'traditional bottom 3' title you gave them? Within the same number of years after creation, Leipzig were in the bundesliga contesting for the league. With the right talent and right investments, small teams turn to big teams which is what inter Miami is. A big team.

You mention the people Ronaldo is playing with now forgetting to mention that this is their first season together. Except for mane of course.
Jordi Alba is 37 this year, he was 33 when he joined...busquets the same..suarez is 2 years older than them...but what they being, is far more than anything the mls had to offer.
David vill, Beckham, Ibrahimovic, Carlos vela, higuaiin, Robbie keane, Thierry Henry etc all went there in their mid to late 30s and still outclassed most of the leagues now compare that to a quadruple of great talent who were core to a globally dominating team like Barcelona and a coach who had previously coached them in Europe, a group who have several years playing together as a team in Spain and the champions league and you think it wont be easier?


Anyways, let's not go the subjective route. Let's make this easier. Submit a team in the mls that has a better group of players and coach than the one Messi played with in his first season. I challenge you to find just one team with a better talent poolm
SportsRe: Which League Has The Higher Overall Quality — The Saudi League Or The MLS? by Timoleon(m): 7:55am On May 13

Of course it's the Saudi pro league. Football has developed much more in Saudi Arabia than in America.

Football is a major sport in Saudi Arabia while it is not in the USA.
In America you would count Basketball, Rugby and Hockey even before Soccer.


Then if by any chance this post is aimed at the Messi/Ronaldo debate, I have this to say;

Even though Saudi is tougher than MLS,
Messi has had a much tougher run in the MLS than Ronaldo has had in Saudi.

Ronaldo joined Al Nassr, a traditional top 3 club while Messi joined Inter Miami, a traditional bottom 3 team.
This is just like Ronaldo joining Liverpool in the EPL and just like Messi joining West Ham in the EPL.

Ronaldo is supposed to have won more in Saudi because he joined Al Nassr.
Only Al Ahli and Al Hilal are bigger than Al Nassr.
Messi's Inter Miami were always a bottom team yet see all he has achieved!
You managed to turn a league vs league to a Ronaldo vs Messi discussion.

First and foremost, Inter Miami plays in the eastern Conference of the Mls. Inter Miami has never finished in the bottom three. In other words, Messi did not join 'a traditional bottom 3' team, because 1, they didn't have any history as they only had 3 seasons before Messi, 2. In none of them did they finish bottom 3.

Messi joined a team that has multiple champions league winners, no other team in the mls has that. He joined a team that has A former European golden boot winner (include himself and that's multiple European golden boot winner) no other team in the league has that. Messi Joinedthe league with world cup winners l, serial dominators that made him tick even at Barcelona, no other player come close in the mls. Messi came into the league with A world cup coach who has coached Argentina and Barcelona, no other coach in the mls has that cv.


The same can't be said about the Spl. There are multiple champions league winners on opposition teams, Neymar, Firmino, Benzema etc...

There's a former European golden boot/ballon d"or winner as an opponent. The talent pool axxross teams is more cenly spread than in MLS where 4-5 players from Miami stand head and shoulder above the rest of the league. Do not forget, Messi, busquet, suarez, Alba were a core of the team that dominated Europe with Barca. Ronaldo didn't even have mane until 2 seasons later.

It's easy to think of inter Miami as a weak team before, but suarez a 2 time European golden boot winner, busquet arguably the best dm of the last 20 years, Jordi Alba Messi most successful partner (has given the most assists to Messi) add Martino a coach who has coached at the top echelon of European football at Barca and world football at Argentina, that stops being a weak team obviously, that becomes the best team.
It's like man city. Before the silvas, balotelli, toures etc, they were nothing to be reckoned with. Once all that talent was injected, they obviously became a team to be feared. Add Roberto mancini to the bunch and you have one of the top teams in the league.

Mbappe is a self serving player, always out for personal glory and never for the advancement of his team. That's why he's a contender for golden boot while his team is losing out in every tournament they find themselves in.
Same way Harry Kane was selfish at Tottenham? Always in contention for golden boot but the team never winning anything

Timo, i understand your positional analysis. You and White, the other guy.

Personally, I'm a Liverpool fan. But, you see, you don't downplay someone's efforts just to "feel good", just to drive home your points.

At least, appreciate them. Don't ignore or disregard the fact that Arsenal are a good team; it's just that they have dropped form massively.

No doubt, when the season newly started till late January the Gunners were in superb form. True or false?

So, if we see truth, make we talk am.
True...they were in form. But that's not how races are ultimately judged...no? Starting well and not finishing well has no prizes. Do you hear anyone still giving Liverpool praises for starting well last season? Please face the reality. If Bayern or Psg fall off in the second leg, there'd equally be bo more praise singing for them despite coming this far. The same way it's going to be for Arsenal or ATM. Not even second place gets credit. That's how these things work.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: PSG Vs Bayern Munich: UCL (5 - 4) On 28th April 2026 by Timoleon(m): 11:01pm On Apr 28
Off the top of your head, do you remember who topped the table of the league phase last season? That's how irrelevant it can be if you don't win the finals. Which is very possible. Everyone remembers PSG got into the knockouts through the playoffs but very few remembers Liverpool were the best team during the league phase. As Burna Boy said, if you no succeed e go be like say you no try, you go explain tire, NO EVIDENCE. There's only one evidence of success for a champions league campaign. That's being crowned champion, every other thing na side attraction.
Ifyok50:
Even though you made sense in your other analysis, are you trying to say that topping the Ucl league table is not an achievement?

Mind you, am not an Arsenal fan; however, saying that shit is misleading and deceptive.

That's how pple like you would say "marriage is not an achievement" - dey play.

Imagine having these two heavyweights that played tonight, you're blabbing that Gunners topping the league no be achievement? Okay ooo. Why your team no top the table naaa?

Wuna go dey open una mouth wuahh!!

Just give them their flowers and simply say dem don drop form. Finish!
