Florida’s not Numero Uno for being mad for Messi. How’s that even possible?

Google doesn’t know our hearts.

Because if it did, the online search behemoth would know that no other state has more love for Lionel Messi — the soccer rocker who signed with Inter Miami — than Florida.

But that is not what Gambling.com found when the marketing/media company analyzed Google Trends and released findings on “Which States are Most Interested in Lionel Messi.”

Florida is not Numero Uno for being mad for Messi. How is that even possible? Word that the Argentinian Ace was joining Inter Miami sent ticket prices soaring, something that hadn’t previously happened even with soccer icon David Beckham being a co-owner of the team. (Clearly, we Floridians are willing to pay big bucks to satisfy our pitch itch, so that should be a part of Google’s algorithm.)

According to Gambling.com, we came in third place. Third. Place. Seriously, what-the-fútbol?

California was No. 2 and at the very tip top of the list was … New Jersey. Since so many people from the Garden State are transplants to the Sunshine State, we should get some of those numbers, but that is not the way it is … apparently … because Google doesn’t know our hearts.

By the way, Wyoming is the state least interested in the Great Goal Getter (let’s make that a thing on Google).

Any Wyomingites here in SoFlo might want to know that Messi will reportedly first don an Inter Miami jersey in a Leagues Cup match against Mexico’s Cruz Azul on Friday, July 21 at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. After that, he’s expected to play against fellow Major League Soccer team, Atlanta United, on July 25.

Gambling.com says that on Friday, July 7, they surveyed Google Trends data across all 50 states for the Top 10 Messi related search terms, then compiled lists for those most and least interested. Search terms include: Messi, Lionel Messi, Messi net worth, Messi jersey, Messi World Cup, Messi wife, Messi age, Messi height, Messi career stats and Messi vs. Ronaldo.
