The away jersey reminds me of flags of other countries or former countries.
The home is alright. It will look better in the sizes the players will wear. It looks too much like a woman's golf shirt in the model pic.

After seeing the whole kit, these remind me of a fast pitch travel team.
Yeah, got a chuckle out of the attempt in the Nike ad pic to make Alex Morgan look tough and fierce. She is a great striker but Roy Keane, Julian Dicks, or Jaap Stam she ain't lol. "Ooooo, look out Alex is pissed!" Shut up, score a goal, make us a sandwich and look hot Alex. Leave the anger for somebody else.Quote:

We had tied them but never beat them on Mexican soil until that friendly. The win over them in Columbus , 2-0, sent them to a play off with New Zealand to make the World Cup. They nearly blew it. No, they hate us, we hate them.Quote:

Easy Cerrano let's not start a Holy War in here. Some of us might feel your same thoughts but it's best left off the board. Let's just beat their ungrateful asses tonight on the field instead.Quote:

I like keeping the Gold Cup final there but no way for WC qualifiers or friendlies. Agree, it's like scheduling Notre Dame at the Vatican.Quote:

FREE CHIPS N SALSA!!!!Quote:

Red jerseys looked sweet tonight! 2-0 at half
I was at the game in Phoenix tonight (so much for scheduling the USA Mexico friendliest away from Mexican fans). It was probably 50/50 in terms of fan show out. Maybe a slight edge to the Mexican fans.
No one booed during the national anthem. It may have happened before, but come on. Many Hispanic fans were wearing both US and Mexico colors. There was absolutely zero contention amongst the fans that I saw. But I'm sure that may not be the case in Mexico City.
