Dalmy AlvesPublished 3 years ago in Cleats Why Soccer Fans Misbehave
In Denver, they found the person who threw the frozen bottle of water that hit an American player in the head. He has been permanently banned from attending any event at the Broncos stadium. I feel that is justifiable. During this match the referee had to stop the game for three minutes because the Mexican fans were chanting a homophobic phrase. But why is this still happening in 2021? Because of the behavior of the fans from Mexico, they have to play their next two World Cup qualifiers at home in an empty stadium.
