What an ugly scene after the match with the Uruguay players and staff going into the stands to fight the Colombian fans.
The players said a group of Colombian fans attacked their families after the match, with kids caught in the middle. Uruguayan players and staff enter stands and get into fist fight with the Colombian fans.
Welcome to South American soccer. It is almost unwatchable due to the cheap and dirty play and diving and flopping that goes on. There was easily 20 minutes of wasted time in this match by (mostly) Colombian players laying on the ground and crying trying to waste time. Colombia got a red card at the end of the 1st half and played a man down the entire 2nd half, although you couldn't tell as they still had the better chances on goal.
Euro's = top soccer with great skill and respect
Copa = dirty cheap soccer where flopping and wasting time is the strategy, although there is incredible skill.
Hate South American soccer and the aftermath of last nights match may prevent another Copa America being here for a while.
