Max Arfsten sends a message to some USMNT fans

If there is one thing those hard-core fans of the United States Men’s National Team don’t like it is MLS players who have the audacity to put on the red, white, and blue kit. They howl at every mistake (or perceived mistake) made by these interlopers from what they see as a far, far, far inferior league. I’m sure some are losing sleep fretting over an MLS player being included on the 2026 World Cup roster. Even after a 2-0 win over Japan on Tuesday night, some probably left Lower.com Field nearly in tears after the Crew’s Max Arfsten sent them a message: I’m making a strong case for a spot on the team.
