Copa América 2024

[DrEFC]

Based upon the images they're showing on tudn, preliminarily it looks like Uruguayan fans were looking to fight. Nuñez had family in the sector, and even though they weren't in the middle of it, he went right in to the middle of it swinging. Not defending a single soul, but going on the warpath. I can't stress enough how much he should receive a lengthy worldwide ban from football. This was bad. You can see on some
of the video shots

Nunez gets clocked there haha

Great stuff

Honestly I've been looking, and in a stadium full of cameras the worst thing they have proof of is a family member getting hit with a drink. Which Uruguayan leaders did to Colombian fans as well.

Also, violence is bad and all, but some of you may be interested in this specific video:

Ooft. Now THAT's a shot on target.

Nunez very much looked like an aggressor in the videos. Can count himself lucky he didn't end up in a jail cell

If I were him I'd get out of there pretty sharpish. The video evidence is there for him to be arrested, and US police aren't usually shy about these things.

Just to follow up, this video fills in the gaps from the beginning of the fights in the crowd. The game ended, then Colombian fans in general threw their drinks in the air in celebration (note that the crowd is all mixed together, so the entire narrative of "Colombians threw their drinks at the Uruguayans" already doesn't make sense, because drinks thrown upwards would hit more Colombians than Uruguayans, beside the point that Uruguayan federation people threw drinks directly at Colombians) and otherwise celebrated (some surely saying things a bit over the line). From this point, a group of violent Uruguayans started attacking Colombians. One of the Uruguayans you can see in the group that started everything is shown very clearly in the broadcast videos punching somebody in the back of the head and backing away to hide.

This was very, very clearly entirely the fault of Uruguayan fans, players, and directors. They were explicitly the aggressors in every single flare up in this. Keep in mind that even if you didn't have the videos, Colombians were not the angry ones when all this started, and the videos all back that up 100 percent. Unfortunately, a "both sides" narrative has combined with a provably false "defending their families" narrative in the Spanish language media, and English language media are going all the way in defending Uruguay because of a certain RS player being front and center in all of it.

I think the only sensible option is to let Liverpool start the next season with a 10 point head start

It's only fair really after Nunez had to bravely fight off the entire nation of Colombia in order to rescue his family from certain doom...

I do think he has some fair points in this diatribe that will need to be addressed if the World Cup is to go smoothly.

Let me dream man, for gods sake!

Nunez and co being allowed to play tonight is insane. Have not seen a single video or image of their families being attacked or in any danger.
