Quote of the Day

I was sitting in an on-field box for Messi’s first game vs. Cruz Azul and all the sudden he has this last-second opportunity to create a lifetime memory. I turned to my guests and said, ‘We (MLS) really deserve this.’ And then, all the sudden, I just hear screaming. I didn’t even see the goal, I couldn’t watch. But will never forget that moment.
-- MLS Commissioner Don Garber, reflecting on Lionel Messi's debut for the league.
