The security guard saved Darwin Nuñez's career... 😯 by stopping the chair he was planning to throw at the public....🥴
Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler gonna have to commentate the copa final
@@ldope3904Are they WWE guys ?
@@thetruth1862 yes
@@dhruv028 hahah that's why it's so funny
Duh
They should give him a bonus for working security.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 bad security setup, but my question is after they got there family to safety, did they continue fighting?
True. Conmebol should be punishing itself for terrible event management & security.
@@LiveLethal Only issue is Conmebol isn’t organizing anything. Its the US Federation
@@VantaBlackhole I would assume it's a collaboration, at least. USSF is an absolute dumpster fire of an organization, their involvement only serves to make things worse. So yeah, they definitely share a lot of the blame.
There's a short on TUDN USA that shows Betancur chuck a glass beer bottle into the crowd and nails a member of his own staff 😂
😹😹
😂😂
Dude I saw that too, the guy was bleeding.
Can you share a link ?
This isn't the first time Uruguay players kick off against fans
Nunez will be ok, because even if he did throw any punches, the chances are they all missed
Plus the chair lol
LOL best comment here
😂😅
Cold...
Ha ha nice one.That made me laugh
Darwin wasn't the only player involved so why are we focusing only on him?
'cos he's the only one who landed a couple of punches, everyone else punched air
Gimenez had family there , too. He was there and a few other ones helping
Bigger name bigger attention
Because he's the only one who plays for Liverpool
@@Robert-ks5ixFede plays for Madrid ffs!!!
Suarez is on camera trying to bite a Colombian player on the neck.
Nohoo pls 😂😂😂
Dumbass
Fool
Is he really??
Proof?
Aw cmon leave tailgating alone just increase the security and create different sections for fans and special sections for players families.
That's a good start sad that something like this had to happen, it could have been so much worse
My man was throwing hands and was still missing target 😂
Every attempt was offside
Suarez started the in pitch fight
That is not surprisingly.
In pitch and off pitch is not the same thing
He also wanted to bite Borja.
@@prateekshomewr baby
I've said it before, just because we speak Spanish doesn't mean we like each other. Look at the clip that shows L. Suarez is trying to bite Borja.
num num num!! TASTES LIKE PORK
Dream on.
Still haven't seen any proof that the Colombia fans actually started it
His teammate saved him by giving that statement live that can’t be erased!
his teammate saved him by giving a false narrative and having journalists run that story
@@AlienAteIt.MyNoraTees you saying family wasn't there?
@@MrBrasserie Nunez' family were already on the pitch when he went into the stands. Also when he tried to throw a metal chair into the stand, that didn't have much to do with protecting anyone did it.
@@MrBrasserie family was there but they weren't in harms way
@@MrBrasseriethere are videos of Núñez with his wife and kind in the pitch and then he left them there to go through a chair to the fans and then he went up to fight. That wasn’t about defending any family, he was just itchy he played not good enough.
Uruguay always fight after losing a match. They did the same thing in the Qatar World Cup 🙄
Dubai world cup?
Not sure why people don’t understand this.. they’re almost as bad as Mexicans when they lose, they obviously wanted to brawl out and fight.
@@Ahmed94996 I mean Qatar
Remember when Suarez stopped a clear Ghanaian goal with his hand? Then got fined for biting an opponent then Patrice Evra story?
They need some serious discipline before there’s a tragedy inside a stadium.
Nobody messes with Colombian people we all know that and I’m Venezuelan. Blessings
@@jikamosFans of all countries should straighten up and learn to hold there alcohol.
We don’t have the complete details but if Darwin was protecting his family. Much respect to him
Nope. Don’t bring your family. Nothing to respect there.He knows better than anyone how violent it can get. What kind of idiot brings little kids to an Uruguay/Colombia knockout game?
Him throwing punches at random is unexcusable..none of his family were reported hurt or slightly injured
Yeah he didnt look like he was defending anyone. He was attacking fans
@@islayladdie7258only idiot here is you lad
Sorry, but Nunez and Suarez started the provocations and Nunez was the first throwing punches at Fans. That´s not the behavior for a professional footballer.
"why do we have to drink beer the whole day"? Ask the guy in front of a German and an English....plop!!
"Why do we have to drink beer the whole day?" Asks the french guy drinking a bottle of wine.
Excellent! 🤣🍺
Any Real Man would protect their family. Justified!
His partner and child were on the pitch when he went in. How was having a running battle with fans helping his or anyone's family and how was trying to throw a metal chair into the crowd have anything to do with protecting his family. Real men control their anger.
He was throwing punches on people randomly with his family 100s of feet away.

Nunez should be given an award!!! Great stuff!!!
Sequence of events … indeed . Brawl starts right after the final whistle . How does that relate to families being threatened ?
Passion keeps getting misused for stupidity. It’s a deflection using that word.
If you go back to every loss that Uruguay has had in World Cups and Copa Americas they have scuffles and bites at the end.
Fans tailgate and drink before games cuz alcohol is too expensive in the stadium.
In this context, the idea that players shouldn’t have gone into the stands is bullshit.
If there were authorities in the stands managing it, that’s a different story. What if one of the fans had a weapon? There were no police there for ages.
The precedent set and any consequences should be burdened on the organisers of the stadium and not the players.
The players are there to play not manage the crowd. In the absence of anyone in uniform managing the crowd and their own families were in the cross fire, I think the players reacted reasonably and proportionally
stupid reasoning, players are there to GIVE EXAMPLE, they represent their team and others when behaving and this was a mistake, and also if i was him, i do NOT incite more violence, i take care of my family 1st and leave with them, not go up to the stands and make it worse.
@@edgaralhow do you defend your family and not fight back
Precisely correct!
@@edgaral And what about the drunken degenerates who potentially threatened family members with bodily harm?!
@@jaytheactivist8520 uhhh you bring them onto the field to make them safe and leave.
You people from Europe should know that this behavior from Uruguay national team is a classic, you can find the videos of Copa América 2015 where they also were defeated on quarterfinals, they punch everyone, 4 different players even hit the referees and received no sanction at all. CONMEBOL is the one to blame for this behavior since never put a stop to the AUF for this kind of behavior repeating since decades.
Where was Luis the Impaler when they needed him? They needed Luis Dracula
He seen on camera trying to bite a Colombia player on the neck. Look it up
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Bodhi594 really in this game?
@@theaquariancontrarian3316 Yes, when the players were fighting after the game.
Uruguay needed El Matador
I hate to watch Uruguay play soccer. They think it is the 30s. The sad part is they have skills but refuse to play the beautiful game in any attractive way.
Malice in the Palace vibes , i watched it live it was crazy 😢
Rules don't matter to a man when the safety of their family is threatened.
😂😂😂😂 this is exactly the logic that creates the behavior that we saw.
No one was being threatened don’t be stupid. People always cheer for their team and taunt at the opposite team, that is part of it and absolutely everyone, in any kind of sports match, does it
@@PlnkWlntEr How do you know? He may have had friends and family still in the stands.

We had a World Cup in 94, No issues
We had a Copa America in 2016 No Issues
Maybe the problem is the fans and players in this instance and there should be some arrests to send a message that in this country, you don't get to assault people.
NEGATIVE. There were fights in ALL those tournaments you mentioned. I was at all of them
There was proper security at those events to keep things from getting out of hand.
@@claudetheruler Yes, fights happen in all venues..1 on 1. Not brawls from sections.
@@TheLaughingMustache-oh5ff actually…that DID happen in Copa America 16 and 94 cup
@@russellward4624 doesn’t matter how much “security” you have, you CANT MIX FANS TOGETHER. This isn’t a Taylor swift concert, or some NFL game. Americans don’t carry the level of passion and pride like soccer fans around the world do
Honestly he was doing the security's job.
Kudos to him!
It’s hard to defend Nuñez’s actions because the video footage we’ve seen, doesn’t show him trying to protect his family, only him throwing punches. Now if he’d gone in there and got his family out of that situation he wouldn’t be facing a ban.
It’s not fair Darwin to be banned
Is and isn't, it's a crappy situation
Fair play to Jurgen Klinsmann for pointing out the positives of the Qatar World Cup. Not many in the media who will do that
Any player who threw punches at fans should be banned from entering the country for 2026.
Awful security
I was there. Two groups of fans kicked it off with each other right after the final whistle. About 10 rows above me in section 508. I saw a Colombian fan get laid down with a hard right, but he sprung back up with his fists in the air! The fists were flying between a group of about 40 people. I didn't see any security at all and I hightailed it out of there.
Just say NO.......
Think before you drink........
Lack of security is the real issue in this case......
One x
Where’s the security in the ground ?
Conmebol should be fined for allowing this to happening. Along with the organizers of the stadium. Fans will get out of control and should be penalized for that but they're behaviour is a given. Organizing an event where this happens requires responsibility and accountability.
On this the Qataris got it right.
DRY STADIUMS.
STRICT ENFORCEMENT.
-- breathalyzers at the gates
-- above .08, you can't come in
-- caught sneaking drink in? Two-year ban from all grounds worldwide.
The acceptance of this nonsense is just stupid.
As for players who enter the stands, one-year ban per player. Throw a punch? Two-year ban.

Shame on the organizers for not having enough security.
If you can't defend your own family members from being attacked, then what's the point.
Nunez' family were already on the pitch when he went into the stands.

Bro their families were in the stands they only went to fight to protect their families
Look for uruguay fight history after games. No video shows kids or women get punch. In any stadium, you get insults, but you dont fight.
The German dude said it well
His name is Jurgen Kilnsmann.
@@osundefosa thanks
The German dude is a dope.
Yeah Germans lecturing people that violence is bad, smh.
He's a world cup winner and prolific scorer in his day and coach of various national teams.
If it wasn't for that security guard, the chair would have hit the people in the crowd and there were women, children and there was even a Liverpool fan .
He need to calm himself down I understand he was doing it for his family , but when he threw the chair his wife was seen watching him on the field with her son , so clearly he just did that in anger.
they had the boy suarez in the hannibal lector mask last i heard
Well done to Jurgen for bringing up Qatar and what an amazing WC it was.
Football without alcohol is worse than food without salt
Mans can’t hit with his right foot but definitely knows how to hit with his right hand 😂
The funny thing is that he couldn't hit anyone😅 he is the one who got punched

How long was the match ban for Cantona? 😂
We drink prior to the game because the stadium beer prices are ridiculous
He doesn't have a head on him
There isn't a single video backing up the Uruguayan claims that the Colombian fans were attacking their families in the stand, ZERO, NONE, ZILCH, NADA! there are however, hundreds of videos showing the Uruguayan players looking for a fight, as a result 11 URUGUAYAN players are being investigate, almost the whole freaking team might be sanctioned. What a bunch of sore losers, SMFH!
Just like fighting in the South American sports , we tailgate here in the US , security should have been better.
Let's be thankful, Saurez waant let loose to bite the fans.
It looked like he was defending his family
Nunez probably tried to punch a bunch of people and missed
His bra was holding him back.
@@zeeshawnali4078hilarious

The World cup in Qatar was the savest event in the history of football.
😂 man if we analyse the stuff that went on prior to the World Cup, you will see how untrue this is. The world turned a blind eye.
@@EthanCruise The world turned a blind eye to the Morroccna fans who rampaged, rioted and even killed in Europe.
Most fixed event in the history of sports…
Except for the workers who buildings the stadiums

Great comment by Jurgen about booze and the Qatar World Cup.
Far be it for me to applaud Qatar, but on that issue, points to them for not caving into FIFA as Brazil was forced to in 2014.
Yet, Uruguay got into a fight after the game they lost. It's not the booze, it's the people. they are sore losers!
There is no professionalism and strict adherence to the spirit of football as fully expected of the Uruguay football team and Nunez. His actions are not only unacceptable but extremely dangerous, bordering on a serious criminal act,punishable by a prison term. It doesn't matter if someone was hit and seriously injured. The animalistic intent to harm a fan was there. FIFA should ban Nunez for a year. Despicable action!!
Clearly the suspension if any should be INTERNATIONAL team only
"after understanding what went on"....what went on? It needs to be investigated. I am still to see video proof of Nuñez argument. So the fans are guilty just by association? On the contrary we DO have proof of him actively throwing a chair to the crowd and going to puch them. Full investigation should be done !!!
There is a lot of videos and testimonials all over the internet that proves Uruguayans included the families of their players started the whole thing !
We're u there did u hear what multiple fans were saying and doing to multiple players families and even the police couldn't contain the fans Darwin got between fans and family
@@andresbuitragomoreno do you have internet?do you have cell phone?if you do ,check the videos and what was said there ,they are all in Spanish and I speak Spanish ¡
Happy that Jurgen brought up the Qatar WC, as the British media in particular were overtly critical of their ban of alcohol at the games.
Why focus on one player? It was over half of the team
This not just countrymen playing a game. This is national teams and national fans. Big difference.
STOP MIXING THE FANS TOGETHER!!!!!
Patrice Evra was banned less than a year, not three or four years
We can understand why the players got involved??? Can we ensure the lady reporter who said that on your show stands down, leading to possible termination?
That is absolutely false, and no players should react in that hooligan kind of way, especially when the player was seen leading a large group to beat up others.
Ima check out the books on Jürgen’s shelf to try & increase my soccer IQ. ✌🏻⚽️
He shouldn't have gone into the stands and thrown punches. I know there were toddlers but they seemed to have gotten away when thr fight was on. They shouldn't have come in the first place...
Even as a Liverpool fan im reading that Darwin's family was on the pitch when this happened? Could be wrong of course but if he went up there looking for a fight i fully expect heavy punishment.
I will wait for the report to be disclosed though.
They were in the pitch whenever he attacked the fans
@@Mgh_111 Yeah thats what worries me.
South American hot heads! No surprise. The media love a shite storm... Nunez needs to be kicked out of Liverpool. The guy is a liability and not worth the extra baggage he brings!
Family is more than just your wife and your daughter? What about your friends and the families of other players?
All support for Darwin.❤
@@sf5912 Darwin and Diaz are not good enough for Liverpool.
FREE DARWIN
Burley is insane for thinking bar fights are the norm in the world of football
What Nunez did is not acceptable. One year out, just like Ron Artest.
I agree with you guys. This guy is way over payed and the nerve he had to jump over the fence beat the fans ? This is unacceptable. He should get suspended forever. Now I’m scared to go watch any games that he’s in because I might be next to get punched . Oh men Guy is scary . 🤦
This is a sport, there is no place for players to get into a brawl with spectators. Secondly, where were the cops? Probably a donut run. Shameful
Why is everyone only going after darwin Nunez like he was the only player there by the way he was protecting his family
He took it too far
It’s nice to haveFrank L in studio
This was a mess, kinda see both sides Darwin was mad at loosing and mad at the insults being thrown at his family and teammate's families. And the institution putting on these games have to do better , no alcohol better separating the clubs fans, period there is blames on all sides.
Oh this could be a blessing for Liverpool 😅
The Liverpool show😂😂😂
Wonder what they will do to Betancur for cracking a guy in the head with a metal water bottle🤦🏻♂️ or the old man in the family section that started a brawl by throwing punches when they lost🤷🏻♂️ ( all on video😳)
The whole theme of families’ lives being in danger… there is zero evidence this happened. Plenty of evidence of Uruguay’s directives throwing things to the crowd from their private balcony. It seems irresponsible to poke the crowd and then scream victim. How about throwing glass bottles from the field to the stands? A Uruguay player threw one and hit a Uruguay tech in the head ( can’t make this stuff up!). And Núñez trying to throw a chair to the stands, not defending anyone then. If fans are attacked do they have a right to defend themselves as well?. So maybe the whole story should be verified before the fans are solely to blame.
Nunez can't control his temper. That his was ez target
Jurgen Klinsman talks sense 💯
They should apologize to him and the family for the lack of security. In a US stadium with enough VIP seating...
why? they started the problem
@@omarmorales5170 no
I think you're partially correct. I live in the US. I've been to games, and security isn't as tight as you see elsewhere because they view sporting events here as a "family" event. They don't expect it to be a "war," like Frank said, about a football match. In American sports stadiums, home and visiting fans sitting next to each other is normal. That's because usually, more often than not, the American fan treats a match as a family outing. You could call it being more passionate or more serious about your team, but football fans sometimes do treat it, like Frank said, like a "war," and that means that you're gonna get into heated situations with opposing fans. That fact and the fact that stadiums in America don't have a separate section for away fans or separate opposing fans could end up being dangerous. I do agree about the VIP seating. We have suites in these big stadiums. They should have one reserve for the family of each team. But like Ale and Herc pointed out on another video, CONMEBOL, the organizers, won't do that because they're looking to sell that suite to a millionaire that will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to have that suite. The players and their families will always come last after money and gains, unfortunately.
The stands they jumped into are $3000 a seat. They are basically vip seats. They go thru special entrances to get to those seats. It's not the general audience.
All I saw was the players jumping into the stands 😂 maybe their family shouldn’t talk smack when their in a hostile crowd in my opinion. They’re not the saints the media is portraying them to be. Im sure there was barking from both sides .
Is US ready to host world cup, they underestimate the passion of football, this is the question.
It has an obvious answer. They don't care. It's only about money for them,and if fights break out,oh,well. They'll just show the fights on the news,and say "fOrEiGnErS dOn'T kNoW hOw To AcT...aNd iT's cALLeD SoCcEr!" 🤤
They will improve. The stadiums the logistics is way beyond what South America and Mexico can offer.
@@dadanifit if you read my comment, i talk about passion. You can build the most sophisticated stadium.
The way american see football is like familial gathering. When world cup came its a season not a sport event.
@@rizahanifardhi7112 USA will improve handling South American fans. That is all I am saying. I agree with you.
Cus I got the day off tomorrow, Frank
Where were the Colombian players families?
If he was defending his family he shouldn’t be punished. United fan here.
His family wasn't even in the section by the time he went up there to throw punches... He saw a brawl, and wanted to get involved
@@jdm1029 in that case, ban him!!!
He tried to throw a metal chair into the crowd!
@kelvintan4809 His family is not just wife and daughter. And what about his friends? What about the families of other players?
Why do they have such boring pundits on
He saves his family
I think he will definitely get a suspension from football, but I’m hoping they will have a team that can take in all of the context.
6 Colombian fans did get arrested, despite what people think, the chances are that Nunez would have only fought because his family was indeed endanger.
However I don’t see fifa or something allowing him to get off Scott free. I’m hoping he won’t get banned for more than a couple of games, but he did actually connect with a punch.
Hoping he doesn’t get suspended for defending his family, but chances are there’s some rule in football somewhere taking about not being able to fight others.
Welcome to copa america sir.
Shoutout to klinsmann for giving the Qatar props
Thanks God Suarez doesn't get involve it on😂😂😂
He was trying to bite Miguel Borja after the match
Nothing could happen, four months ago it happened worse in Maracana with the Argentina players fighting on the stands against police annd fans. Guess what? Conmebol closed the file case and nothing happened 😂
Brazilian police started the trouble although the Argies are no angels.
Jurgen needs to stop drinking at breakfast😂. Jurgen and Frank are going a bit far. People drinking in moderation is reasonable freedom of choice but stopping drunk fans entering stadiums, or throwong out those who get drunk is also reasonable
All of this can be managed better, including the flow of alcohol during matches and preventing intoxicated persons into the match. World Cup tickets are now electronic. just build into the system that each ticket is permitted no more than 3 beers and have the ticket scanned when you buy beer at the venue. Problem solved for alcohol.
