Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo became two of the biggest names in Major League Soccer when they joined New York City FC over the summer months.
With Steven Gerrard also signing for LA Galaxy and a new MLS deal being agreed with Sky Sports, us Brits are seeing more and more of America’s top flight.
Although it might appear that the sport’s popularity is increasing in America, the following incident reminds us that it’s still got a long way to go.
After reading this tweet from Mix Diskerud, a USA international and teammate of Lampard and Pirlo, we can only imagine the look of disgust on the pair’s faces.
Pirlo & Lampard at the airport bar watching Chelsea game. Un-athletic American yells "Switch to nascar. Soccer isn't a real sport" AWKWARD 😳

Awkward indeed, Mr. Diskerud.
