Former American footballer, Alexi Lalas, has blasted the organizers of the 2024 Copa America final over Shakira’s music concert.

The veteran artiste was billed to stimulate fans and get them ready for the second half of the final game between Argentina and Colombia at the Hard Rock Stadium, Florida.

Lalas noted that the music star was let down during her performance, pointing out that the Colombian singer was not provided with the necessary support to make her performance a success.

Speaking on Alexi Lalas’ State of the Union podcast, the former football star said, “…I have nothing against Shakira, she seems to be a big star. The actual performance, I don’t think it was anything historic or will be remembered.

“Couple of things were a little strange for me. One, she came out alone and it was almost as if everyone was looking around and going, ‘where the hell are the backup dancers’.

“It begged for backup dancers and she was solo dancing around. It just didn’t look normal. Eventually they came out, but that was a little weird [at first].

“My big problem, I don’t know who does their lighting. I don’t know who the production team was, but somebody needs to get fired.

“The lighting on her legs and she might have been wearing some fishnet thing, but the lighting on the legs cast these shadows which made it look like she had fish scales and even worse. No man or woman wants that when you’re performing. They did her dirty. This was a bad decision and an unnecessary type of decision.

“They could’ve figured out the lighting properly, but in not doing it, they did an actual disservice to the artist.”
