Brek Shea, a former U.S. men’s national team midfielder and ex-MLS journeyman, is confident that Cristiano Ronaldo could have had a bigger impact on the league than Lionel Messi has enjoyed at Inter Miami.
Shea, who won 34 caps for the USMNT and played for Inter Miami until 2022, a year before Messi arrived, suggested that the Portuguese and former Real Madrid star could have helped the league grow more significantly, with his personality, brand and social media reach.
