I did not find anything about same colour kits it in the rules. But with that said you might still be correct...
This is what the FIFA rules say about it:
Basic equipment
The basic compulsory equipment of a player comprises the following separate
items:
• a jersey or shirt with sleeves – if undergarments are worn, the colour of the
sleeve must be the same main colour as the sleeve of the jersey or shirt
• shorts – if undershorts or tights are worn, they must be of the same main
colour as the shorts
• stockings – if tape or similar material is applied externally it must be the
same colour as that part of the stocking it is applied to
• shinguards
• footwear
Shinguards
• are covered entirely by the stockings
• are made of rubber, plastic or a similar suitable material
• provide a reasonable degree of protection
Colours
• The two teams must wear colours that distinguish them from each other
and also the referee and the assistant referees
• Each goalkeeper must wear colours that distinguish him from the other
players, the referee and the assistant referees
2. Each team shall have an official and reserve team kit, which shall be declared
on the team colour form. The colours of the reserve team kit (shirt, shorts and
socks) shall be noticeably different from and contrast with the colours of the
official team kit (shirt, shorts and socks). The reserve team kit (including the
goalkeeper’s) must also be taken to every match. Only these colours may be
worn at matches.

How BAD is this match? The standard of football is awful.......
Iran 0-0 Nigeria [>:][>:][>:][>:]
I suspect I have had more excitement by searching FIFA documents for facts about the kits. [:D]

Iran will be happy with that result but I expected more from Nigeria. Not a great match but we were probably due a stinker, the tournament has been most entertaining so far. It is early days yet though.
Best wishes,

Great performance from the USA. Disciplined and gritty. They deserved the win.
Best wishes,

Not sure Ghana deserved to lose. In fact I am pretty certain they deserved a draw minimum.
If I am not mistaken this is the first team which has parked the bus in the WC

Well, the Ghanaian equalizer was drop dead gorgeous. However, the USA contained them for most of the match and, until the introduction of Boateng and Essien, the Ghanaians did not look like scoring. Much possession yes. But no product where it mattered.
After the equalizer, the Americans did not let their heads drop, continued to work hard, and got the reward for it. I am not going to begrudge them the win.
Overall, the most disappointing thing for me in this world cup has been the performance of the African teams. Still early days yet of course.
Best wishes,
Steve

Mexico - Brazil
Mexico was robbed of 2 goals last game, let's hope it doesn't happen again.
Are we in for a surprise? Let's hope so!
On friday I went to CNN and there was a banner of breaking news stating that interpol had gone to Brazil in suspicion of match fixing. It was removed shortly after no less than half an hour maybe.
Anyone knows anything about it? bad tip from informer? they weren't supposed to announce it? fake news?

No, I didn't read / hear anything about this match fixing thing [&:]
Good luck vs Brazil. You will need it [:)]

I think its fair to say that match fixing has always gone on at the World Cup - with the obvious exception of 1966. Why else do you think have England only ever won the World Cup once?

Seems both countries sent their diving squads. [:D]
I don't know what to expect in second half, it's a very tight game, I fear it might be decided on an error be it some player or god forbids, the referee. [&:]

What an excellent game Mexico did!
You definitely have a great squad. This is another group of death because along with Croatia that makes 3 excellent teams that could get far if you ask me.
And tonight I won't be missing Russia vs South Korea. I never saw them playing under Capello. Let's see what the Italian has accomplished.

Yes. I really like this Mexican team. Brazil have not impressed me that much so far. Huge pressure on them of course. They are a good team but not a great team I think.
Best wishes,

Yeah cerebral game, maybe equivalent to a pitching match in baseball, or maybe not.
Mexico has a great goalkeeper. Ochoa saved at least three sure goals.

After half Russia - South Korea match... er... I give up [:D]
Russia = Catenaccio from the Steppes (so this is what Capello did, I should have known better [:D])
South Korea = they run and run and run... like headless chickens, going nowhere. Someone should tell them that it's more intelligent to make the *ball* run, instead of the players. More efficient, less tiring LOL Someone possibly told them so but they answered him that they didn't have players that could make the ball run in the first place. So keep running until the end of the match or drop dead!

What do you do Akinfeev?! Russia play very very bad, perfect Capello style...as you say, 100% old italian catenaccio style.
Yesterday I saw USA-Ghana, and I'm impressed by USA mental solidity. They can do well. We'll see. Ghana is like other African teams: great power without control. I expected more from they. All in all, Mexico played a great match versus a mediocre Brazil. Only Dani Alves and Marcelo played adequate to his reputation. But, as always, Brazil can win all matches if decided to play for at least 5 minutes.

Interesting stat. Apparently only Argentina and Uruguay have beaten Brazil more than Mexico.
Mexico genuinely believe they can go a long way in this tournament. I wonder?
Even if Croatia win tonight Mexico only need a draw in the final game to go through.

I have to 'splain it because it involves irony.
Scoring at
will in other sports that have point scores most often would entail a high score and for that matter
scoring.
