Miami Streets Turn Celeste

FútbolUy spoke with Uruguayan fans in the city streets and after the event, capturing the atmosphere around the gathering rather than the match itself. That focus kept the story on the supporters who showed up in Miami and the scale of the turnout around the team’s arrival on the World Cup stage.

The setup leaves Monday as the next step for the group that packed into Miami on Sunday. For Uruguay, the public show of support already arrived before the opening whistle.
