Shakira under fire after performance at Copa America 2024 final
Shakira sets the stadium on fire, but infuriates the coaches
Colombian singer Shakira was the center of attention at the 2024 Copa América final, performing at halftime before kick-off at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The star's performance caused an unexpected wave of criticism due to the fact that the traditional break was extended from 15 to 25 minutes.
The coach of the Colombian national team is outraged
The head coach of the Colombian national team, Nestor Lorenzo, did not hide his dissatisfaction with the situation:
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing when the rules are changing for both teams, but I'd like it to be the way it always was. When we were only one minute late, we got disqualified. Now because of the show, we're five minutes late minutes. Players can freeze, but it's on both sides"
Shakira performed with unparalleled energy and fiery hits, but for many coaches and players such a change in the schedule came as a surprise.
Argentina triumphs without Messi
Despite all the vicissitudes, the winner of the America's Cup this year was the Argentine national team. Their main star, Lionel Messi, was forced off the pitch in the second half with an injury that left him in tears. This moment further emphasized the drama of the finale.
Shakira's personal dramas
In addition to sports vicissitudes, attention is also focused on Shakira's personal life. Her new romance with the star of the series "Emily in Paris" Lucien Laviscomte is causing concern among loved ones. According to insiders, the actor is dating the singer only for popularity. And Shakira herself has not yet forgotten her former lover Gerard Pique, with whom she broke up after the scandal.
