It's a good thing the US got this Copa shit out of the way. Because on top of the usmnt disaster, stadium security was a disaster on the heels of hosting the world cup in a few years. I just can't fathom how you can host a tournament like this and of all things to skimp on, you do it with security. Shameful. US soccer better have a come to Jesus moment [Reply]

Feels like things are taking a bit of a turn in that regard.
US soccer is trash. I'll agree that it's pathetic [Reply]

Because U.S. stadium organizers are used to dealing with American audiences. Not with Colombians. Americans are squares compared to other cultures. Fans from certain countries can get downright crazy about sports. Mass riots and violence are uncommon in American sports games.
That said, the game yesterday was in Miami where security should know better who they're dealing with. They were prepared like it was an NFL game in Green Bay. [Reply]

Considering what just happened at Empower during Mexico vs Uruguay, this was nothing. [Reply]

I get it, but it's one thing to be unprepared with the right amount of security. I just don't get shorting on security. At least we learned our lesson this time on our warm up run. Or we can only hope we have. [Reply]
