Tim Weah on jersey confusion: “Some of us have good vision, some of us don’t.”

Completely outclassed in every area. Another failure for US soccer. And to top it off, both teams wore white colors. I can't believe the people in charge can't even do that part correctly. If I was the referee, I wouldn't have allowed the game to start until one side changed jerseys.

Re reclaiming kit from hotels, to be clear (character limit in first tweet)… they weren’t driving to the hotel (!). It wasn’t feasible due to timeframe/availability but was briefly considered.

That was a brutal watch

(and the first thing I thought as it started was, "Man those jerseys are close in color. At least their socks are different")

Does nobody review the kits before the match? Seems reasonable that each team would submit their kits with enough time that someone could take a look and say, "Hey, these are too close to each other to work." I know its FIFA so we should expect third world levels out of the organization but this one is just so obvious.

The Athletic has learned that the colours were approved well in advance of the game, with both teams putting forward newly released kits.

Watched on the outside tv. Kids asked me why the teams looked the same. I told them it was just the outside tv on a sunny day and that they probably looked way different on the inside tv. Oops.

It's not FIFA or any separate overseeing organization at all. It's a friendly. USSF hosts the event and the refs are paid by them.

According to the ESPN article I read, both teams did submit their jerseys to the refs and everyone thought it would be fine. But I'd bet a coke they only submitted pics of the front. And from the front, it would be fine because there's tons of red. The big problem is the ugly white back.

Regardless of how it went down, the buck stops with USSF for this debacle because we hosted the event.

Make even more sense then.

Lot of genius takes online of "we subbed mls players in and lost" , and that just isn't reality.

Yeah. The fact that we were missing 2CBs and Adams was huge.

When all the subs were made for both sides, they had fresh legs across their offense, and we were stuck with Father Time and a dude playing out of position at CB. It is odd that we didn't bring in Trusty, but maybe they're saving his legs for the next game (given lack of depth).

There was some discussion about, or you may have noticed, Pochettino's lack of reaction to the Weston goal to make it 1-0. His comment today about that, is great. pic.twitter.com/TVZyT3jIZG
