    The official USMNT account on X, formerly Twitter, even responded to the clip - quoting with a meme of their own making fun of the way McAfee mispronounced the word. The ESPN talent went on to cluelessly discuss football with Henry, who looked seemingly baffled as the former NFL player spoke to him.

    McAfee told the ex-France international that the USA, winners of the dubbed 'Concafa' should take on the winner of 'the Europes' and that they should hold up 'pink slips' when the two teams were to hypothetically go head-to-head.
