Meet the Canarinho.

No, you don't want to meet him, but meet him. 

The name Canarinho (little canary) has been synonymous with Brazil's National Team since 1984, when their yellow kits were adopted. To honor that nickname (Why, we ask, of all Brazil's nicknames, would you choose to honor that one?), Brazil have up and got themselves a new mascot that looks like something teenagers would catapult at buildings on their cellphones.

Mexico’s final tune-up before their World Cup qualifying clash with the USA on November 11th ended in a 1-0 victory over Panama.

For spectators at Toyota Park in Illinois, it was a relatively uneventful night with a largely experimental Mexico side grafting out a victory.

The highlight of the beginning proceedings was probably a mariachi version of “The Star-Spangled Banner”.

Mariachi version of the US anthem.

Very well received by Mexico fans.

Julian Green is yet to play a minute in the Bundesliga this season. His only appearance for the Bavarian giants was as a substitute in the DFB Pokal. For the USMNT, Green’s last start prior to this October call-up was back in 2014 — the same year he’d scored his lone, albeit unforgettable, USA goal.
