Happy Hour: Puerto Rico Love with Zarek Valentin and Ricardo Rivera
Description
Today’s Happy Hour brings us to the land of Puerto Rico for 50 States of Soccer. Susannah and Ian Fuller host today’s happy hour. For the occasion, we welcomed Minnesota United coaching assistant and former Puerto Rico national team player Zarek Valentin along with fellow Puerto Rico teammate and Miami FC forward Ricardo Rivera to the Happy Hour. The crew react to the breaking news of MLS announcing the schedule shift to fall-spring in 2027 and its impact on the wider US soccer landscape. The crew then dives into their love for Puerto Rico and its rising status as a soccer space. Because we love timing and the dedication, Claudia Pagán joins the happy hour from her post-flight Uber to add to the love and lore of Puerto Rico.
