I personally have a lot of money to spend, but my wife has something to say about it. But I want tickets for at least one match and some Lionel Messi jerseys (pink and black), come to think of it, there are tons of things I could spend money on in this situation.
This is Lionel’s ridiculous Messi we’re talking about… Lionel Messi! I don’t know how long he’ll be in the US, so in my opinion, he needs to hit it while it’s hot and absorb it all. The classic era is upon us, at least for South Florida sports fans. (Related: So flashy! The Jacksonville Jaguars reveal how they redesigned TIAA Bank Stadium and it looks really epic)
Well, definitely worth the money.
