Canadian former soccer player Kaylyn Kyle criticized FC Cincinnati defender Teenage Hadebe for swapping jerseys with Lionel Messi immediately after Inter Miami's 4-0 win in the MLS conference semifinal. On Apple TV, she called it "embarrassing," saying the entire Cincinnati team appeared starstruck by Messi and lacked pride after being thoroughly dominated. Kyle acknowledged Messi as the greatest player ever but insisted that asking for his jersey on the field right after a humiliating home playoff loss showed disrespect to the fans and the competition. She suggested any jersey exchange should happen privately, not publicly after "getting bullied off the pitch." She labeled the incident embarrassing for both Hadebe and FC Cincinnati as a whole. #fccincinnati #fcc #mls #soccer #messi
