Summary: We’re having a live show with special guest Anatol Yusef! Thursday July 7th in Brooklyn. It’s an intimate venue and we can only accommodate 30 guests, so please check out shop.howlermagazine.com and get a ticket soon! Today on Dummy: Messi’s retirement and the shenanigans/crimes of the Argentine FA that may have prompted it. Ivan Lopez-Muniz lays out the backstory: Messi will probably come back because he now has the opportunity to remake the Argentine federation LeBron-style. (Argentina’s contract negotiation with Adidas also comes into it.) Then, Megan Rapinoe talks about her new role as an ambassador with Street Football World, the dumb questions people ask female athletes, how her twin sister helped her become an elite soccer player, and why there seems to be some tension between the male and female U.S. internationals over the pay question.
