As for the game itself, it ended in a 0-0 draw, which was actually Colombia’s first scoreless draw in World Cup history. That result was enough for Colombia to finish first in Group K with seven points. But honestly, the real story here is the fans. It makes you wonder what kind of viral moments our own 12s at Lumen Field or the faithful at T-Mobile Park might accidentally create next. You just never know who's watching, or when your passionate reaction will become the next big thing!
