This is disappointing:

Lionel Messi is making a mistake. Philly is the right fit for him. It’s a blue collar, hard-working town. Miami has nothing on Chester.

It looks like the Union are going to have to shift their focus and look to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo instead. They need somebody to come in and score some goals. Need an experienced veteran up top. I’ve got my Ronaldo Bimbo jersey ready to go. We just need Philadelphia Union co-owner Kevin Durant to start pulling some weight and making some phone calls. Let’s get the recruiting process going here, KD. This isn’t some walk in the park. It’s not some hobby investment. If Messi and Ronaldo are out of the picture, KD needs to set up a meeting with van Dijk or Mbappe. Have their people contact your people.

Lionel Messi is not a Philly guy. 610-632-0975, your phone calls after the break. But first let me tell you about my friends at Bradford White Water Heaters.
