Uruguayan players stood dumbfounded as Chile’s national anthem was played ahead of Sunday’s clash with Mexico, prompting an apology for Copa America Centenario organizers.

As the two sides prepared to begin Sunday’s match, both Mexico and Uruguay stood side by side for their respective national anthems. Mexico’s portion went without a hitch, but Uruguay was stunned as Chile’s national anthem played over the loud speakers.

Clearly the only right thing to do here is to play the Uruguayan anthem the next time Mexico takes the pitch then play the Mexican anthem the next time Chile takes the pitch.

This fricking sucks for Uruguay.

It was bad enough their fans were subjected to your typical Messican trashiness all match (obscene chants, beer thrown on them, bullshite officiating, etc.)

I wish Muslera or Cavani would have decked one of those bastards.

I'm not sure if this tournament could be more of a shitshow.

Mostly bad soccer. Most of the games have had small crowds. Terrible television production. Wrong national anthem.

It was super appropriate that they royally fricked something up right before the first good game, outcome and referee notwithstanding

You are your post regarding Mexico leads me to ask the following: where do you stand on Trotsky?

Stalin fricked the USSR, Khrushchev was too dumb to fix it, Brezhnev was a corrupt piece of shite, and Gorbachev was super naive.

Trotsky should have never gone to Mexico. They obviously can't stop assassinations from happening, even back then.

The Soviet system had major flaws, probably fatal flaws, but to collapse in 74 years was a tribute to constant negligence and deviation from the initial purpose.
