Very Cool! I was happy to have them, and I'm sure it's safe to say that we would welcome them anytime! :D

That's awesome! I hope we have more WCQs and, if the U.S. hosts another World Cup, I hope we have a World Cup match and I would especially welcome Sam's Army to return any time.

An email I got:

I don't know if you were there or not, but thanks and major props to The Loyalists. Y'all were very hospitable at the tailgate before the games, and hanging out in the parking lot after the games. We had a blast.

I'm glad everyone is looking past the Great Shirt Drama now... 😉

I didn't know it wasn't cool to wear your team shirt to a USMNT game. I just stuck with the red wifebeater until the RSL game because it was hot and I didn't want to get some ugly sleeve tan.

If our shirts weren't red, I would have probably worn something other than my Loyalist shirt to the matches.

There are one or two blowhards making a deal out of that shirt thing. Lots of people who support teams that have red in their colors were wearing their team kits. And for a double-header there is absolutely NO reason for us not to have worn RSL gear.

I even wore my Loyalists shirt to England/USA.

Furthermore, Sam's Army is in such disarray at the organisation level that it has been years since they sold shirts. If those two complainers are so worried about it have them get on Sam's Army to start making cool shirts again. Until then I'll wear my Loyalist t-shirt.

I have to admit, that I was a little worried about the perception everyone coming to our city might walk away with, but it looks like there was never anything to worry about at all. Everyone did a great job and I'd like to thank all of those responsible for putting the whole thing together and all of those that made it possible by showing up and letting the world know just how great our little city is.

You all did great! Congratulations! :D

I actually wore my Loyalist shirt on purpose. I thought it would match both games better, since I don't own a USMNT anything, and I wanted Sam's Army to see how many Loyalists there are.

I want my shirt (a la, "where's my $2.00")
