Shakira causes a crisis during Copa America final!

Shakira causes a crisis
The Colombian superstar sang his hits during a halftime show of the Argentina - Colombia match. 

CONMEBOL has decided to extend the break between the two halves of the match between Argentina and Colombia in the 2024 Copa America final to 25 minutes to carry out an artistic performance by the famous singer Shakira.

FIFA rules state that the break period only lasts 15 minutes, and clubs or teams are penalized if they arrive in the second half a few minutes late.

It is worth noting that CONMEBOL punished the teams of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela for delaying the half-time break during the Copa America, and it is surprising Lorenzo now after the decision to extend the break in the final in the eyes of Shakira.

The halftime show of the Copa América final presented by Shakira generated multiple reactions among Internet users, with many comments mentioning former Spanish player Gerard Piqué, ex-partner of the Colombian singer. It wasn't just because of the couple's high-profile breakup, as Shakira included songs dedicated to Piqué in her show after their relationship ended. Shakira criticized at the Copa America: “she is lip-syncing Piqué’s discography”

Although she began by performing the worldwide hit “Hips Don’t Lie,” she then followed up with a mix of “Te felicito / TQG,” songs she made with the breakup in mind. The last track was “Puntería”, a song said to have been made as a nod to Lewis Hamilton, thus remaining one of the most iconic songs after the separation with the former Spanish footballer, as part of “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53”.

Despite many positive reactions in favor of Shakira, her performance also attracted strong criticism, both for her stage performance, the notorious use of playback and for the choice of songs.

Colombian national team coach Nestor Lorenzo expressed his displeasure with the decision, pointing out that the halftime show of the Argentina - Colombia match would cause a technical problem for both teams and that the match format could be reduced.

In this regard, Lorezno said: “I hope you enjoy Shakira, but I really don't understand. I hoped the match would be like other football matches."

He also added: “Players can catch a cold from waiting that long, and that applies to both teams, not just Colombia. I just found it out. »
