A representative of the major has spoken an he mentioned the factors that lead to this situation, excessive heat, police inside the stadium and no outside, no security rings, to check for tickets, weapons and to provide access to the arena, long waiting hours, confusion, crazy fan trying to enter without a ticket, people with tickets who worry they may not be able to enter, and finally mass panic.
Half are still illegals!They are not sending their best!
Can’t believe what Mexican fans have taught fans of other countries
Fifa shouldnt host world cup in Usa.
Not safe!
It's not soccer it's football.
The fans are fighting.
Hoho
America has changed
Thank God, Pablo Escobar is no more…
Montevideo saved.
Looks like the Uruguayan fans got the better of the Colombians there. The Uruguayans had the Colombians in retreat.
The Colombian team and fans are ANIMALS … they don’t play fútbol
Uruguayan player Rodrigo Bentancur hit one of their own staff with a glass bottle 😂
What classical 😊😂😂😢sad
It's football not soccer get it right
Colombians and Uruguay should get deported
0:29 the bald man of uruguay takes revenge for darwin nuñez
They need to stop with these fights over national football teams. It’s getting old.
That's what big time soccer is all about. We're not used to that at a typical US game.
Colombians attacked the families of the players. That’s why…
This is why I don't go to big events. Bunch of nuts now that is all.
Finally, the video proving what happened at the stands after the game
The Uruguayans sore losers who started the whole melee was recorded for your viewing pleasure:

The Uruguayans started the fight and then they play the victim role, COWARDS!
Ask why this happened before directing the story towards a lie!!!
Dude with the brown hat hit first, then seconds later fat dude with king hair at the fair end hits a Colombian fan. They the main suspects.
Theyre too busy discriminating people with disabilities to have any security on field.
They were fighting because the Colombian fans were throwing stuff at the Uruguayan players families
gracias al presidente de colombia apoyo a Palestina por ese caso se ha logrado llegar a la final de la copa y ojalá conseguir la copa américa. 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 😢😢😢
Fifa should withdraw world cup for 2026 ,fields are small ,security sucks.and they try to charge crazy prices and have empty stadiums.this was the worst copa america.
👺🤑👹
