For a country where football is played with hands, no wonder they mistake Busquets for his Spain teammate

MLS announced the arrival of Barca legend to Messi's Inter Miami with the pic of Alvaro Arbeloa

OK, let's be honest - the United States are not a hotbed of football. At least, this one we love so much.

Their football, somewhat similar to rugby, is extremely popular nationwide. And they're really good at it. However, despite the effort and the money, Americans are obviously still struggling to become one with the game the rest of us love so much, which they call soccer.

It was confirmed one more time last night as the official Twitter account of the Major League Soccer (MLS) tweeted about Sergio Busquets' arrival at Inter Miami.

Instead of posting his picture, they went with the wrong one - of his former Spain teammate, Real Madrid and Liverpool player Alvaro Arbeloa.

"All he does is win," tweeted MLS, counting Busi's trophies, but accompanied by Arbeloa's photo kissing the World Cup trophy in 2010.

They deleted the tweet soon after being warned about a massive mistake they made, but it didn't prevent the mockery, especially coming from Spanish media.

We hope the Americans have learnt their lesson.
