In no way in clear conscience can I attend this match. For me to support the Mexican team in any way is a crime. Anyway, I don't want to hear Mexicans boo and catcall while our national anthem is sun. That is a bit much for me to take.
That gets on my nerves too, but I wonder if they'll even bother to play the Star Spangled Banner. My guess is that they'll just play the anthems of the participating teams, Mexico and Bolivia.
I doubt the US national anthem is going to be played before a Mexico v Bolivia friendly. I have to say this is disappointing - I was hoping for a visit by the US national team. Is this the international friendly as advertised in Burn ticket packages? Either way - besides maybe AEG and the USSF getting some money, which is great - I am not very interested in this. Why would most US / MLS fans be interested? I guess they'll get a decent crowd - and the Burn can get their name out there - other than that....
Actually, I've seen a lot of int'l friendlies that don't include the US in which they play our nat'l anthem. I think it's caused by stadium officials who are used to playing the national anthem b4 every game.
I can't believe that they are actually going to try to play soccer on a field with a 4-foot crown in the middle.

I'll go and cheer on Bolivia. Saw plenty of Tornado matches at Texas Stadium back in the day and the crown didn't seem that much of an issue as far as I can remember.
