However, the main point of discussion following the match wasn’t just the score. Many television viewers voiced their concerns regarding the kits worn by the players. The USA sported yellow-and-red striped jerseys, while Belgium’s uniforms were also quite light in color. This difference was clear in close-up shots.
From a bird’s-eye view or at a distance in the stadium, though, discerning which player belonged to which team became a challenge.
This awkward situation was noted by numerous social media users.
It’s fair to say that the viewing experience could have been improved if one of the teams had opted for a darker uniform. Nonetheless, this did not seem to affect the gameplay itself.
