July 15, 2024 – Copa America final: Argentina vs Colombia.
The coverage of the final by Copa America broadcasters Fox and TUDN was markedly different.
Fox presented this as a “rain delay” – with light rain in the background behind their commentators. Former US national team defender Alexi Lalas spoke about the full stands at Miami, proving that the US is indeed a “soccer nation”.
Of course, they also talked about what was happening off the field, but there was hardly any live reporting. As for TUDN? Multiple reporters were providing live updates from inside the stadium, offering insights into the situation, and even encouraging fans on-site to contact their families and let them know they were safe.
