USMNT X account restrictedUS beat T&T 3-0 hours earlierExact reason for restriction unknownWHAT HAPPENED?
The USMNT scored three late goals against Trinidad & Tobago to take a 3-0 lead into the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final. However, X – formerly Twitter – owner Musk didn't appear to be too thrilled. In the hours following the match in Austin, the official X account of the USMNT was issued with a temporary restriction.

Goals inside the last ten minutes from Ricardo Pepi, Antonee Robinson and Giovanni Reyna spared the hosts' blushes. Provided that they don't blow their aggregate lead in T&T next week, Gregg Berhalter's side will reach the last four of the Nations League and qualify for the 2024 Copa America.
WHAT WAS SAID
It's unclear exactly what the USMNT account did to receive the temporary account restriction. The note on the warning reads: "You're seeing this warning because they may have potentially violated the X rules. Do you still want to view it?"

Berhalter's side will remain focused on getting the job done in Trinidad on Tuesday, though higher-ups at U.S. Soccer will no doubt be on the phone to X HQ as soon as possible.
