It's part of the game, unfortunately. Home Depot here was giving away all sorts of Mexican team stuff...only. You could buy Mexican jerseys at every store in town, but US stuff was hard to find.

Fact is, the fan base is much different, until recently. Heck, Univision is playing every single game for free, because it would be a moral issue to charge for Copa Mundial games, but Americans don't think twice about having to pay for the World Cup. Imagine the outrage from Americans if they made you pay to watch Monday Night Football!

You "pay" for MNF by enduring the endless blather from their announcers.
