Son Heung-Min has already inked himself into the MLS record books for his stunning and historic move from the Tottenham Hotspurs to LAFC earlier this week. Not long after, however, the ex-Premier League star's introduction at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles took a turn for the very, very awkward.
During Son's introductory press conference with the club, Los Angeles city councilwoman Heather Hutt praised the South Korean forward for choosing to play stateside following a decade-long stint with Tottenham. She then appeared to imply that Son was a member of the USMNT and pledged her "support" to Son for representing the red, white and blue when the United States co-hosts the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
