At nearly 35 years old, Antoine Griezmann is poised to fulfill a long-held ambition by joining Major League Soccer for the twilight of his illustrious career. Come next June, he is slated to become a key player for Orlando City, the Florida-based franchise.
However, this particular choice has sparked considerable debate among experts of the North American league. Concerns arise from the selection of Orlando, a city sometimes characterized as ‘insecure’ and lacking the vibrant appeal of major hubs like New York or Miami. Furthermore, joining an MLS team consistently found at the lower end of the standings has led some to label this move as a potential ‘fiasco.’ Despite these reservations, the prospect of a World Cup champion gracing the league undoubtedly represents a momentous occasion for soccer fans across the continent.
