Everybody awaits for the big game between Argentina national team vs Colombia national team for the Copa America final to be played in the Hard Rock Stadium at Miami. While Argentina are the regnant champions, Colombia want to win their first trophy since 2001. The game is expected to be amazing, but as a final people from both countries will be present, and the stadium will be crowded.
CONMEBOL assured they will reinforce the security, especially after the problems around the attack on Donald Trump yesterday. They were expected at least 800 police officers around the stadium checking everything, and also undercover police officers trying to help at the entrance and keeping control of the situation.
But as the hour of the game is getting closer, videos from the fans are arriving to the social media. In the videos we can see that there are problems outside the stadium for the entrance of the fans, mainly the Colombian ones.
The capacity of the Hard Rock Stadium is approximately for 65,000 persons. The match is reported to be sold out, so the security measurements should be higher than in other games, as CONMEBOL promised. And not only because of the Donald Trump issue, but also for what happened in the semi final between Uruguay national team and Colombia national team.
Colombia won 1-0 in that match, but after, many of the Uruguayan players were involved in fights with the Colombian fans. Some of the most viral scenes were from Darwin Nuñez who confronted the fans to protect his family, and he even received some blows.
Regarding this situation, the CONMEBOL also confirmed that they would increase the security in the stands, especially with the families of the players from both teams. As we can see in the videos, the situation is not going as expected, and the chaos outside the stadium is real.
Besides from the security measurements, the final should be a great game for the fans. The players who are gaining the attention of the world are, of course, Lionel Messi from Argentina and James Rodriguez from Colombia. While Messi didn't have his best tournament, he managed to score a goal and give an assist in the 4 games he participated in. On the other hand, James Rodriguez is clearly the favorite to win MVP of the tournament, and he has shone in every round. He is the assists leader with 6, but his game has gone beyond the assists.
