Florida is trying to erase the identities of countless Americans. U.S. Soccer cannot go ahead with playing a World Cup qualifier in the state.

The USMNT is scheduled to host Panama in a crucial World Cup qualifier on March 27 at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida. A win could send the U.S. to the Qatar World Cup later this year. Such a vital match should not be played in the Sunshine State.

USMNT young star, Ricardo Pepi, is in hot water after allegedly liking a racist tweet against Mexican people. The extra layer in the story? Pepi was born in El Paso, Texas, to Mexican parents, and in Aug. 2021, he decided to represent the United States over El Tri. 

Ricardo Pepi's Twitter controversy

Before jumping to a conclusion, this is what we know.

United States men’s national team fans were shocked on Thursday to learn one of the top Twitter accounts for news on the team has been suspended. “USMNT ONLY” is as advertised, only news on the men's national team. The account had more than 60,000 loyal followers but now is no more. What happened to USMNT ONLY?

Anyone who tries to visit the Twitter account will be met with this page.

Charles Barkley wants to make it clear: This U.S. soccer jersey he’s never going to wear (or fit into) is a women’s jersey. He’d never be caught dead with a USMNT jersey. 

Maybe Chuck needs to catch up on his country’s soccer teams. 

It’s hard to remember a time when ESPN and Fox didn’t dominate the U.S. soccer TV landscape. The two have aired every World Cup since 1994 and have been the consistent home for U.S. women’s and men’s national team games over the last decade. That era is ending, though worry not, it won’t change too much. 

El Clásico might be the most storied rivalry in all of soccer. It dates back to 1902, and since then there have been 244 competitive meetings between Real Madrid and Barcelona, with each team claiming 96 wins. 

In recent years, the rivalry has expanded to other continents with the first El Clásico played on American soil taking place in Miami in 2017 during the International Champions Cup exhibition competition.
