SirSmUgly Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 FINALLY If you can't steal Bielsa from Argentina, give a lot of money to Jurgen Klopp to try his hand at coaching a national team, please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 Colombia beat Uruguay 1-0 being down a man for the entire second half. Uruguay celebrated their loss by ... hmm... earning possible lifetime bans from international soccer!

SirFozzie Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 video of the fight. Sounds like Colombian fans were "having a go" at Uruguay's Wives and families. Don't know whether that's taunting or something physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 double post: ESPN reporter had a good view of it https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/40537768 Apparently Uruguay fans and Colombia fans started a tussle near the families, and the Uruguay players realized it was near their support and rushed in.

Joe vs the Algorithm Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 12 hours ago, odessasteps said: FIFA will blame Comnebol. Lot of people blaming Conmebol. Deservedly so, I think. Stadium has hosted Super Bowls, World Series, Taylor Swoft concert, a WresrleMania, etc., plus two football games a week if the Hurricanes and Dolphins both play at home. I assume event staff know how to run an event. Also wondering why people are reluctant to blame fans. If Dolphins fans acted like that, they’re be an immediate backlash. If Hurricane fans rioted and stormed the gates, people would be losing their season tickets and students would be getting suspended. Soccer fans riot and people just shrug. Weird. A coworker was at the game. He saw people scaling walls and crawling into the ventilation ducts to get into the seating. Not just a few people. Dozens, if not hundreds. After the game started, police and stadium personnel came by checking tickets. They cleaned out an entire row in front of him. Stadium personnel are going to be at a disadvantage in these situations because their preparations assume crowds will behave like people. When they son’t, you get chaos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone pointed out this was literally the plot of an episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Someone at Hard Rock Stadium needs an extremely serious ass kicking. I'm sure the security execs at the stadium are, as we speak, being read the riot act. Personally though.... I'm back at the office and exhausted. But I will say, the crowd was probably 70/30 Colombians, and hearing ~50,000 people singing O Gloria Inmarcesible (the Colombian national anthem) next to my 84 year old dad brought a tear to my eye. Worth every single penny I paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw somewhere on Twitter that this happened at the 2021 Euro final in Wembley as well..
