🇨🇴 Alegría — Happiness
Colombia supporters were singled out for criticism during and after the chaos of the 2024 Copa America final, when many attempted to gain entry without tickets and chaos ensued.
“Colombian fans always receive good feedback, except for the last game in Miami,” says supporter Anita Pernett. “Unfortunately, a few people don't know how to behave, but the well-behaved ones outnumber them.”
Their supporters are eager to show the world during this World Cup that the mayhem of that moment is not representative of their culture - that unity, emotion and joy are what define the Colombian fanbase.

I’m unavailable for life during the World Cup 😀
Buen día para todos menos para los hinchas del Real Madrid que se gastaron más de 100 millones en refuerzos para no ganar absolutamente nada en la temporada. Quedaron eliminados en todos lados. Son horribles. 🇪🇸
Esto es penalti en todos los estadios del mundo excepto en el del Real Madrid. El valor de su palmarés es el mismo que el de los coches de Al Capone. La mayor organización criminal de la historia del deporte.

Since 2022, the NFL has been touting Guardian Caps with the claim they reduced concussions by 50%.
Sales to kids boomed.
Then their own analysis of the data refuted that claim. They quietly published the study & never told the public.
