Midweek Update: U.S.-Poland Preview & More
While the Galaxy's David Beckham is winning his 100th cap for England today in a game only available on pay channel Sentanta here, the 28th-ranked U.S. led by Landon Donovan will wear its new anthracite (charcoal grayish?) away jersey for the first time against 24th-ranked Poland in a game shown live at 12:30 p.m. on Fox Soccer Channel.
Meanwhile, Mexico plays Ghana in London at 12:30 p.m. on Univision Telemundo among a host of other international games on tap.

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.
