The CONMEBOL statement in response to the shocking fight from Wednesday that saw Uruguay players clashing with Colombian fans in the stands was… lackluster.
Soccer fans around the world were appalled by scenes of Uruguay’s Darwin Núñez exchanging blows with fans in the stands of Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Wednesday’s Copa América semifinal ended with Colombia defeating Uruguay 1-0 and Darwin Núñez punching fans in the stands of Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The semifinal was another classic CONMEBOL clash that saw 24 fouls, six yellow cards and a red card. After the game tensions were high with the Colombians celebrating and Uruguay players and staff getting physical.
The Gregg Berhalter fired news took longer than fans wanted, however on Wednesday the axe finally came down on the USMNT head coach. FOX Sports' Doug McIntyre broke the news.

#BerhalterOut has become reality.
Gregg Berhalter fired by U.S. Soccer
The American Outlaws Gregg Berhalter statement released on Wednesday illustrated the United States men’s national team head coach’s loss of support from fans and media.
Several U.S. Soccer supporters’ groups have publicly called for a head coaching change. Barra 76 were one of the first groups to release a statement on Tuesday.
“We believe replacing Gregg Berhalter as head coach of the USMNT is essential to revitalizing our national team’s strategy and achieving the results our players and supporters deserve,” Barra 76 said.
FRANKFURT — German police are investigating a video appearing to show stadium personnel viciously beating a fan during the Portugal vs Slovenia Euro 2024 match.
The video, which Reuters has not been able to verify, shows a man in a steward's top repeatedly hitting someone in the face as colleagues restrain him in a Frankfurt Arena gangway. Two others kick and beat the man further when he falls to the floor.

The sport of soccer goes by many names with one that everyone can agree on: The Beautiful Game. Soccer transcends the fields it’s played on and breaks through into art and everyday life.
One New York freestyler epitomizes turning the sport into a daily routine with style and family at his core.
Meet Frankie Flo. A soccer freestyler who has performed on the world’s largest stages, a proud father, peanut lover and artist with the ball at his feet.
The U.S. soccer federation condemned the online racist abuse of their players on Thursday after their 2-1 defeat by Panama at the Copa America.
"There is absolutely no place in the game for such hateful and discriminatory behaviour," U.S. Soccer said in a statement.
"These actions are not only unacceptable but also contrary to the values of respect and inclusivity that we uphold as an organization."

FREIBURG — Belgian fans went too far with their angry reaction to the team’s draw against Ukraine in the European Championship, veteran defender Thomas Meunier said on Thursday.
Supporters booed and whistled their side after a dour 0-0 stalemate that set up a last-16 clash with France, and more derision rained down when captain Kevin De Bruyne was announced as the man of the match.
After watching the torturous 0-0 draw between England and Slovenia I’ve come away with one conclusion: the Geico soccer commercial is going to drive me insane.
We’re a week and-a-half into the Euros and during every game I’m forced to watch the most annoying Geico soccer commercial. If I have to hear, “timeout for nacho-tots” one more time there will be a god damn hole in my wall.
It seems Geico know how utterly dogshit their commercial is as it’s not available anywhere on the internet.
The United States men’s national team announced three friendly matches and opponents for the Fall 2024 international window and fans weren’t thrilled. The upcoming USMNT fall friendlies will see the Americans host Canada, New Zealand and Panama.
