Chaos as USA exit Copa America: One of the worst VAR calls ever, what Christian Pulisic did for the referee to refuse to shake hands and furious fans bemoan waste of 'golden generation'

The USA crashed out of the 2024 Copa America on Monday night but the tournament hosts did not exit quietly.

Monday's Group C finale in Kansas City ended with USA star Christian Pulisic telling Peruvian referee Kevin Ortega that he and his team of officials should celebrate with the Uruguay players.

This came after Uruguay beat Pulisic's side 1-0 courtesy of a controversial goal scored by Mathias Olivera.


Many fans,players and pundits were furious that a VAR review allowed the goal to stand,despite one frame appearing to show that Olivera was well offside when Ronald Araujo initially got his head on the end of a Nicolas de la Cruz free-kick.

Araujo's header was saved but Olivera tapped home the rebound to help his side finish top of Group C.

Fans did not like the camera angle used during the first half of Monday's live TV coverage

USA vs. Uruguay had the worst camera angle EVER lol

After topping Group C with nine points out of nine,Uruguay's quarter-final opponents will be the team that finishes second in Group D.

That will likely be Brazil or Colombia - who will play each other on Tuesday night.

Colombia currently sit top of the Group D with six points,with Brazil second on four.
