I’ve never witnessed as chaotic a match aftermath as the one served up by the second Copa América semi-final in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday night.

The game itself was everything I’d hoped it would be: Bad football, bad tackles, bad decisions, and bad misses followed by a bad brawl at the centre circle and then on into the stands, overshadowing the entire affair.
