Both international superstars revolutionized the sport by joining MLS. Who had the greater impact?
One is a former LA Galaxy star and two-time MLS champion and the other has him as his boss. Both David Beckham and Lionel Messi sent shockwaves when they joined the league and agreed to play soccer stateside.
