Will always lament this, but why why why is Mexico not in green and US in white. The kits are stupid.

edit or at least their usual brighter green not this dark green / black

California. Duh.
I truly wonder what would have to happen to get the Mexico fans to stop with the goalie chant. Play several games in front of empty stadiums? Forfeits?

The ref is really letting them play, which I tend to think works to our advantage (even though there have already been two or three plays where it looked like we were fouled).

Ref should issue yellow each time to a player on Mexico. At some point, it will get someone sent off in a big game.
They need to tell them they will deduct points during WC qualifying.

What was that from Ream? US is begging for yellows at this point. If they don't cool it we're not going to finish this with 11 men

Yeah, it may burn us, but I like the US playing with some fire and attitude. Have to be smart about it though.

If another player had that done to Pulisic I'd have demanded a yellow. He was super late and took out both legs, didn't pull back at all.
Wholeheartedly agree. I don't love watching our guys get treated like that, but US rarely sets that tone, so this is a nice change of pace.

Thing is they aren't, we're playing incredibly stupid, Ream's had no impact on the play, Jozy's could have been a red if he'd caught the second leg.

Looked like the ref just told McKennie that if he grabs the ball to stop a quick restart again he's getting a card

We should have three yellows by now, but since the ref is obviously swallowing his whistle it's nice to see a kid like McKennie embracing the CONCACAF and lean into the bullshit.

No, I agree. Going forward though, after some warnings from the ref, they need to tighten up.

I just hope no one gets hurt with the ref swallowing his whistle. These challenges are getting aggressive.

But still if this ends 11v11, it will be amazing.

At risk of engaging in BS "intangibles" talk, it does feel like this team has more fire and has each others' backs more than USMNT squads of recent vintage.

This game is wonderfully concacafy and if you're worried about cards I'm afraid you're not fully enjoying it for all it's worth.
