What do you expect from a place where there is a tournament between teams of their own country and call it "world series".

[sriram-rrcp]

Usa is a only nation where Messi walks easily without any disturbance on streets

[amann]

I'm from Germany and my 85 year old grandmother who has never watched a football game and doesn't know one German football player knows who Messi is

[gunchinsurenmunkhdalai]

Ladies and gentlemen we just discovered a new planet. And it’s called U.S.A

[iTzMajman]

Wait what.. americans that doesn't know something outside of their own country? what a surprise!

[Hablainfo]

Come on, only three people who knew him?

[KDAnnii]

Being european, makes this 10 times funnier

[jaguarexpert]

Messi could literally walk all around the buzzfeed office and nobody would recognize him

[morganbean]

I've never been so disappointed..

[guilherme_v]

Americans are kind living inside a bubble or parallel universe. This is weird

[b.o]

Messi is bigger than the whole nba and nfl combined lmao😂

[thiagobadra]

You are asking to a country that calls "soccer" instead of "football"

[angelicaireann]

My heart stopped when he said that they invited him

[namunaama]

Is America the only place where football isn't the most popular sport??? How do they not know who Messi is?

[majkokatic]

They dont know who Lionel Messi is, and this country will host world cup. Where am i living?

[tomperrett]

He's not a soccer player. He is a footballer. Foot + ball is how you play this sport. I don't get how Americans call their sport football when they use their hands for that sport. It should be called American rugby

[mychannelhasonlyvideojust]

Do Americans even "football"?

[amblehhh]

When the guys said..
"Lionel Messi"
"Number 10"
"Argentina"
"Barcelona"
I going to adore that buzzfeed dude

[aryahegde]

Bro I'm from india and we've only recently started taking football seriously as a country, and my 80 year old grandmother knows Messi

[oluwaponlekudehinbu]

That's why the US can't even qualify for the world cup!
