What will it take for Messi to go join Austin FC? Wrong answers only.

wow...what a blast. I didn't even know Matt McConaughey was the owner of Austin FC. I loved him as an actor but pleasantly surprised by his persona,his attitude and his love for football.

Didn’t even know he was involved in football!! I love it 🥰

Futbol is not a sport. Futbol is the most beautiful game in the world.

To be fair Matthew McConaughey is one of the few Hollywood actors that I like, because he actually comes across as a real person, I'm not from America (im British) so I can only go by what others tell me, from what ive gathered from what im told, if I had to guess the sport is 4th/5th with Hockey right now, but more Americans seem to be coming around to our football, bear in mind Americans only started pushing football a bit in the 90's, its been a joy to watch it grow over there, as long as you're not playing England, I'm rooting for you guys (come on im English 😂)

He hit the nail there when he said we have the notes but don’t know the poetry of fotboll, that accully true in americas case

Messiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Messi needs to be offered a lifetime supply of breakfast tacos from Torchy's Tacos to consider joining Austin FC. Wrong answers only.

Well, alright alright! McConaughey knows footie! Footie is life!

Im an LAFC supporter, watching a game at Austin FC stadium was so much. Beautiful faculty

LAFC fan here but i like the Austin brand and everything they are doing down there. I know their team isn’t as good this year but, love it.

Rust Cohle from "True Detective": "Time is a flat circle". A quote from "Interstellar": "Love is the only thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space." France Football: "Time is Infinity. Messi is Infinity." Messi himself: "You can overcome anything only and only if you love something enough." Messi's love is so powerful that it transcends time and space.

What an amazing conversation. Roger is the best and Matthew is simply indomitable. I feel dutifully inspired. Cheers!

McConaughey is such a freaking treasure! Austin FC, you guys got a good one!

Thank you guys! The content is amazing and can't be done by no one else !

Sigo a Messi, entonces sigo al Inter Miami y por ende a la MLS, ahora llegué a este video a enterarme que uno de mis actores favoritos: Matt McConaughey, tiene un equipo de fútbol, por lo tanto apoyaré a Austin FC también.

As an argentinian im enjoying the mls a lot more since messi joined, I only watched it because Almada and now at least I get more entertainment

The poetry of football is not what it is in a stadium with crowds. It is a ball and a pair of posts. A game played anywhere by anyone. In schools with shirts as goals, On a building site, On the beaches, Favelas of Brazil and famously, During world war one at Christmas time, in nomansland between the troops of Germany and England. This is the poetry of football.

Dude is a robe away from starting his own cult by accident.

I remember when he was just a RomCom guy ..then we finally got to see his true acting chops....and now after seeing this, can say hes a solid dude as well. Brave Mr Mac, Bravo!

One of the best interviews ever.... a package of joy, wisdom and humility... AND futbol!!!!

MESSI GOAT OF SPORTS.

That's Messi Effect For You.

I remember not taking Matthew that seriously. But then I saw him in True Detectives. Damn. He was awesome. Also loved him in The Gentlemen. He's just a really really good actor.

MESSI is the GOAT🐐, he makes me watching football and love football...!! Watching him with the Ronaldinho (legend) back in the day, is amazing to watch!❤🔥

(Sorry for my English) I completely agree with that phrase "everything you do in life, everything, any hour, any second...enjoy that moment with pleasure"

Let's Get Messy / Messi !!!! My new saying everyday , great interview Rog MJ Westmont IL

He's right - and it is quite interesting - that even though the numbers aren't quite there yet, it feels like we're #3 now. I think that has a lot to do with fan culture and passion for the sport. I know people that go to MLB games all the time. For much of the game, they're just chatting and only seem to be going to have something to do. Even when I watch games with them on TV, they don't really get fired up like people who are in love with the sport. I'm not saying there are no people with passion like that for baseball, but that kind of passion is so common in soccer/football that that the sport and the culture can't be separated. The intensity of this sport has always been palpable for those of us who live and breath the game, but in the US, it used to feel like we were anomalies in the world of sports. So quickly in the last few years, it's gone from that feeling to one where you're like, "yeah, now everyone knows who we are and what we're all about." I love it.

MESSIIIIIII🐐🐐🐐

Bro, how do u manage to get all these a-lister celebs to talk abt soccer? well done man. need em more

Matthew is a ray of sunshine. I've followed US soccer since 1993 and I'm still amazed at how far it's come.

Messi + Suarez looked amazing for Miami the other week! The football was brilliant to watch.

Wonderful show, great interview. He is a legend. This is why. Wish I was near enough to Austin to be part of Verde. :)

what a delightful interview! love that these type of soulful people are our owners in MLS

Oh, so nice to see the Shakhtar Donets'k logo behind the interviewer Hello to you (and the marvelous Matthew) from Kharkiv, Ukraine! Football i'snt just a sport, its a great part of European life last 100+ years

I like this format. Concise, graphic, to the point. Nice.

Football is not simply a sport but rather a culture that connect people all around the world...

Just randomly came across this and loved it I hear the take on knowing the notes but not having the music/poetry yet... n well heres my long take hope it helps: In football its approach isnt tactical first in order to love the game.... football is its history by knowing the history of football one gets to understand why it matters so much to the fans... the silence in between the lines... its not just a sport the tales of Puskas and Hungary...... the reasons behind east n west germany in the final and its roll in finally bridging the gap...... just as he stated the fans began as the local baker cobbler smith attending the game for the town he loves.... football became a way to express a joy in pain a cocktail on the beach.... the stories of heroes like Pele and controversial heroes Maradona the villains of the game the geniuses of the game the environments atmospheres cold nights at stoke stories behind players seeing them as normal human beings thriving day by day to be great some for fame some for fortune some for the love of the game..... from the young boy from Rosario to The Night at the Bernabeau..... getting all these (from KZfaq btw) You get the answer to the silence... you'll fall in love with the beautiful game and see the art to it.... After that then the tactics formation players in form opponents motivation and talent later matter That above is the silence the reason a kid stuck a poster of a role model to a wall and said one day im gonna be like him and strap on the boots Where i come from football is like religion a young man and a granny... a lawyer and priest could sit in a room watch a football match.. coz for that moment that zone its all about the beautiful game Hope this helps 🔥🔥

Oh... we've seen Rog in Austin!

How on earth did you get this man? Your introductions are amazing, I love this channel US football is going to attract Americans that want that genuine tribal festival feeling A wonderful listen. True optimism well explained as in the moment we need a loving responce with a positive outlook.

Messi

A deep fried turkey leg, Oreo and a kiss from dearest Mathew

Messi is the GOAT, but it took/takes someone like a Messi to popularize the world's biggest sport in this country. We have so many great US soccer team(Men and Women) members and former members. It should have happened long ago, it should be the #1 sport

Such a cool, well-spoken guy Mathew. Great interview and great questions also.

What a great interview. Loved watching you two vibe.

what a nice interview!

Messi, Messi, Messi ❤❤❤

He should've played the rival team manager in Ted Lasso.

Nice conversation!!! Anybody happens to know what glasses Mr. McConaughey is wearing?

He gives me hope too

Love this! Also no one is acknowledging the amazingness of a line like “..showing up in a finely tailored green suit, of which I am very jealous, looking like the Riddler after a juice cleanse” so I will. 👏😂❤

Hola amigos e "hinchas" de Austin FC, soy de San Juan provincia de Argentina, fanático del Club Atlético San Martín, el "Verdinegro", pues nuestros colores son los mismos que los de Austin FC y eso nos hace hermanos de colores, de corazón, de pasión, porque alentamos a nuestros equipos cuando entran al a jugar, cuando juegan, gritamos los goles, insultamos los fallos erróneos de los réferis, cantamos, lloramos cuando pierde y rezamos cuando se patea un penal! somos hermanos de colores y los abrazo desde mi pequeña ciudad de San Juan y ojalá pronto haya una bandera nuestra acompañándolos en su hermoso estadio, y si vienen a Argentina, los esperamos con asado, vino y fernet!!!!!!🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤

power of appreciation. It changes the world.

And that Fortaleza Shield on the wall, love it !

I rather have actors, musicians and former athletes as owners than out of touch billionaires.

I wish we could get some of this passion and energy up at FC "Frisco" but I digress.

Alright, Alright, Alright. I just love this man 🖤

If Messi can make "americans" say Football instead of Soccer, then he will be the most important change in the history of sport in North America. Every freaking time you say Soccer instead of Football, a Bald Eagle dies.

Matthew is such an awesome guy n such a cool n likeable person.

Yo seguia a la MLS cuando Guillermo Barros Scheletto fue al Columbus Crew ( despues de dejar Boca Juniors ) y ahora veo Inter Miami por Messi

US National team knowing the notes but not the poetry is actually the most perfect analogy I’ve ever heard. We’re close but we need that cohesion and flow in-match

This chat is incredible!

They should get Neymar before Inter Miami makes the ultimate flashback team

The MLS is only getting better New talented kids arriving Looking forward to it

The apple deal, leagues cup and messi going the team that needed it most made the difference. The Miami branding is also so well done and visually unique it helps define that mls is no longer trying to imitate but be it's own thing

The difference between the USA and many candidate countries for the World Cup is that children not only play soccer in their training sessions and official matches, it is a way of life, like basketball in the USA.

Love the Kith fleece, Rog!

De nada, amigos.

Two of my very favorite personalities and purveyors of wisdom.

The music playing by the crowd at 2:49 is also from Argentina.

As Shakhtar fan, I'm so happy so see our pennant there. I have exactly the same one in my room. Must be Kryvtsov gift or something. Cheers!

Fantastic, thanks

oh, Matt, you just nailed the US situation on Futbol situation. US knows the notes but didn't figure out the poetry/music of the Futbol. So my humble interpretation to what you just said is: US needs to have a much bigger melting pot of amateur futbolers and coaches (those are the ones who in my beloved country of Argentina end up writing the poetry/music of the Futbol). Worldwide Futbol cultures are built strongly within the transition between Amateurism and Professionalism.

it comes with time .. some of the clubs in the UK are over 100 years old LOL as long as the community is with you.. you are on the right path.

I'm a Sounder. I'm not jealous of any team in the league, except maybe Austin FC, because of this man. Love him. Messi who? Suarez should be getting so much more attention than he's getting.

Matthew Mcconaughey talking about Lionel Messi. So this is what the multiverse looks like .

every time i hear matthew talk, i always think of that scene in wolf of wall street with Leo at that restaurant😂

Great video! Just as Seattle did a Hendrix kit, Austin should do a Stevie ray kit

Hearing Americans talk about football is always so innocent. Imagine what would happen if a player on the top of his level would go over there during his career. All they get is the best of the last-last generation and they are still so happy to see someone like Messi play.

We need Woody Harrelson on bass though 🎸

Matt McConaughey ia a cool guy and a great actor

Shout out for that Shakhtar Donetsk scarf!

Bro, soccer is everything period.

This is probably the best interviewer I've ever seen.

You don't pronounce the apostrophe in "Ballon d'Or" 😂 Great video

Amazing!!!

Interested comment about the notes: Soccer has a big cultural component. Anyone know the notes, but the culture is what makes music. Cheers from Argentina.

As far as I knew, the 3 most popular sports in US were American Football, Baseball, and Basket. Which one is soccer replacing as the 3rd?

Did he just say round football? 😂

11:37 Excellent observation about USA national soccer teams. I watched them do so many right things that bad teams can't and should do to get better, but there's an emotinal or aesthetic component still missing. When Brazil or Argentina teams are playing bad is usually because they're not doing something that USA teams almost always achieve. But when they do, they are great. (also helps having Maradona, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho or Messi)

Que bestia este muchacho. Ahora voy a seguir al Austin

Excelente comparacion entre Football y music...

Look at that! Now I like Matthew McConaughey 😂🎉

That Argentinian goat 🐐

AWESOME i like austin FC's vibe!

You are Verde, i am Verde, Listos? XD had me dzing this one haha

I am an asian doctor, loved every movies of this guy. What I'm going to say may b totally off topic but really personal. I am 33 & I have some problems regarding depression & drugs. I lost 2 of my very close friends who did drugs for depression which led them to more depression and they did suicide. I attempted but failed, because of my children. I wanna live 17 more years & after 50 I'll take euthanasia to die. But Matthew's words got me confused. Yeah I didn't appreciate what I achieved in life & achieved good things. I have a good wife who's also a doctor and a fantastic woman, have son & daughter and economically solvent. But still I'll do it at 50(it's hard to explain why). Matthew's philosophy of life can change my decision, fantastic actor and a real life philosopher. We really need more guys like him ❤❤❤

Dear Americans, you must understand that: soccer is a passion, a feeling, it is much more than a sport; that is felt from the playing field to the stands and the fans... Maybe that is the "poetry" that good old Matt is referring to... Greetings from Argentina

Not even close to the 3rd sport when broadcasts cut away from a soccer final for a commercial, nascar, womens softball or golf! When that stops we can come back to this discussion. With no pro/rel MLS will continue to be the novelty it is.

Soccer isn't in third (but it's a good average). It's 'FIFTH' to multi-generational Americans. However, Fútbol is 'FIRST' to first and second generation Americans.
