I think the Mexico match is going to be on Telemundo and not UNivision. Just in case your readers would like to see it.
Nick replies: You are correct, sir. Thanks for the copy editing.
At least the away jersey looks better than the home jersey, but when did the U.S. colors become grey and red? I thought the North won the Civil War.
