Ooh, you got loads of photos! You got some good shots of some of the players, pretty good seat by the tunnel!
It looks like a pretty nice stadium as well, how much were the tickets? Just wondering what they are like compared to in England/UK, where they are still quite expensive for friendly matches!!
It must have been great though, to see all these players live! I forget sometimes how so many of you don't get to see much live football because of not living in a country with a big league! :(

Lol I was really close when I was taking alot of the pics, right when I got there I ran down to the bottom of the stands right next to the tunnel the players came out lol.
My seat was farther up lol, but it was still great
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co6m-yvAg0M
that video was taken from where my seat was.

The stadium is Giants Stadium, its right outside NYC and is used for American football usually, my ticket was $50 plus a ticketmaster charge so like $62 in total, but they ranged $35-$295 dollars depending on where you were. I didnt care how much really, USA dont play that much in the northeast, and even fewer against teams as good as Argentina.

Yeah, before this the only games Id seen in person were the ones at my Uni, because I dont drive really and my parents dont like football, so we never go to MLS matchs, but they only get like 8,000 people on average, this match had 78,000. Plus USA is sooo much bigger than like European countries that you really cant travel that much across it to go to games not near you.

Awesome pics Kem! Your seats right beside the tunnel. :huh: Great :D

I watched the match, it was really good. Very weird sending off for Mastroeni but the masch one was deserved.

Some great saves from tim howard too.

@Jenna I have no clue why he got sent off either, I think the ref made a mistake. Howard was fantastic, saved our ass so many times lol.

@ Vik yeah it was packed, there were times it was like electric there and everyone was cheering. Everyone in my section and the ones near me were standing the whole match.

WOW Kem, those pictures are awesome! Brings back great memories of the US/Mexico match I went to last year! Good times :)

So you got to sit near the Sam's Army section right? See people say Americans don't care about football, just sit with the Army at one match and they'll completely change their mind!
