Why Can't Messi Just Play For Free At Barcelona?

The Messi Era is finally over Barcelona, despite the efforts from both parties to extend it. But if Lionel Messi loves the club so much, why can't he just play for free? This video explains why through the use of lemonade, fire and POGs.

These videos are getting more and more like a fever dream

[colemiller]

The fact that Joe writes, stars, and edits these is both wonderful and disturbing

[kevinevano]

If Joe loves The Athletic so much, why doesn't he just make videos and record podcasts for free?!

[curtiswatson]

You know, just listening to his voiceover on Tifo Football I assumed Joe was a really calm and collected academic mind. Tifo IRL has really changed that assumption.

[WillishBroadbino]

I'm convinced the worse the comments towards Alex being boring get, the more Joe descends into madness in an attempt to offset it. And Im here for every second of it 😂

[jarrodkline]

Joe seems not far away from HowToBasic levels of sanity, Messi’s transfer just broke him

[tabishhayat]

This channel is starting to feel like Joe FINALLY has the space to make the videos he always wanted to. The football stuff was just a prelude to the comedy acting career of Joe Devine.

[OptimistInTheDark]

This is the video IRL has always been leading to.

I thought to myself “there’s no way he’s going to actually howl…” and he did, he did that for us. What a king you are, Joe.

[samandersxn]

This was the most informative fever dream I've ever had

[fadhilideche]

With the combination of the erudition in his tone of voice and the eccentricity in his analogies, tangents and turns of phrase (which all still manage to make sense), you can tell that Joe's REALLY doing his best to make the most of his degree in English Lit.

[TheWPGHD]

it's like Tifo is Joe's public persona but Tifo IRL is the *real* joe

[nunger]

I used to love the intelligent analysis, professional approach and smooth voice behind Tifo videos… but I’ve got to say that the added wit and even madness is very, very welcomed 😄. This channel is a one-stop shop for everything I want in a YouTube video now. Mr. Devine is mint.

[TheSlentX]

I remember when this used to be a channel about football like it was yesterday, now it's just Joe's personal playground, love it.

FYI: Colwin bay lemonade stand fire of 2015. Thankfully, no lemons were hurt

[lacey]

Joe is the funniest YouTuber, I love his dry sense of humour 😂😂😂

[-blackjack]

2:30 “ALSO SPAIN ABOLISHED SLAVERY IN 1811”. Glad to know that, cheers!

[ollieshepherd]

If this is where my athletic subscription money is going to then I’m all for it

[utsavlal]

Everything going all right
Then out of nowhere
No one:
Joe: a wolf)

[iirovaltonen]

Joe should go to auditions, he has a talent for acting.
