MLS weekend wrap: teenagers are taking over, and Messi goes full Florida Man

The days of the retirement league trope appear to be ending, while Inter Miami's star had an outstanding - and amusing - game against Orlando City

Robbie Keane. Kaka. David Villa. Andrea Pirlo. Didier Drogba. Wayne Rooney. Zlatan Ibrahimovi. All of them - and many others - enjoyed late-career stops in the United States.
