• Travis Kelce emphasized that Messi isn't much different in MLS

Jason Kelce stressed that meeting Lionel Messi at Inter Miami was not the same as his days in Europe and in charge of the Argentina national team.

On the latest edition of the New Heights podcast, Jason and his brother Travis raved about the NFL scheduling the Eagles' game against the Packers in Brazil this season. As a result, Jason began to rave about soccer and the difference between MLS and other competitions.

Jason, who previously spoke about his experience at the 2016 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, stood his ground after Travis raved about Messi's recent game in Kansas City.

“But I’ll tell you what: Messi played in Kansas City last weekend,” Travis shared. “Actually, he played in Arrowhead.”

Jason said, “It’s not the same being in the MLS,” to which Travis replied, “Why isn’t it?” “Don’t fuck the MLS, don’t do that, Jason.”

“I don’t give a shit about MLS,” Jason continued. “I say it's not international football. “When you think about football, I know there are all these wonderful clubs abroad, there's the MLS, I think about the World Cup, that's all I'm saying. “It’s about international play and then everything else.”

While his older brother raved about international competition, the three-time Super Bowl winner insisted that “it's all about the Premier League.”

However, after Travis asserted himself in Major League Soccer's defense, Jason insisted that the level of play in the US is not the same as in Messi's previous competitions.

“I didn’t say I wasn’t going to look at it (MLS),” Jason insisted. “I'm just saying it wasn't the same level.” Seeing Messi play for Miami isn't the same as when he played in Barcelona or when he was on the world stage at the World Cup. That's all I'm saying – it's not the same.'

After leading Argentina to the 2023 FIFA World Cup title, the Argentine shocked the sporting world by leaving Paris Saint-Germain and joining David Beckham's club in Fort Lauderdale.

Upon his arrival, Messi led the Herons to their first club title by winning the inaugural League Cup. He also led Inter Miami to the US Open Cup final within months of his arrival.

“Seeing Michael Jordan on the golf course is not the same as seeing Jordan in a Bulls jersey,” Jason said, causing Travis to burst out laughing.

“You see a person on the biggest stage possible, with the biggest team in history,” he explained. “This is the best soccer player in the World Cup.” “This is different than watching Lionel Messi tear it up in Kansas City and just say it.”

Travis continued to defend himself, comparing Messi's MLS project to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish goalscorer played for Inter, Milan, Barcelona and PSG before landing at LA Galaxy from 2018 to 2020.

“Dude, it’s the same thing – it’s Lionel Messi,” Travis said. “It was the same as when Ibrahimovic went completely crazy in LA.” It's great, it's electric. He made MLS fun to watch.”

“I’m not saying it’s not good for MLS, I’m not saying it’s not great, I’m saying it’s not that good,” Jason replied. “I’m not saying it sucks that he’s playing in Miami, it’s great for MLS, it’s great for American soccer.”

“All I'm saying is that he doesn't score a goal for Argentina and the whole country erupts in celebration because it means more to Argentina than any other sport on the planet.”
