International Friendly Sunday Gives Some Answers

And yields more questions...

Will the guys at Team USA figure out their issues at the back...? They have another two weeks to figure it out...
The friendly in New Jersey against Turkey gave both teams a lot of offensive chances and the game could have been a lot more than the 2-1 final in favor of the stars and bars.

But Team USA showed some of the brilliance people expect...

Constant Leaves AC Milan Friendly After Racist Chants

AC Milan was playing Sassuolo in a friendly and Guinean-born Kevin Constant had had all he could stands...

And he couldn't stands no more...
More racist taunts came from the stands and Constant was done...


The referee allowed a substitute to come on and also ordered an announcement over the PA warning that the game would be suspended if further incidents occurred.

ACM lost 2-1 to the hosts in the Trofeo TIM tourney.

In January when ACM was playing Pro Patria, Kevin Prince-Boateng also kicked the ball at a Pro Patria fans before walking off the field with the rest of the Milan team.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has announced an immediate inquiry.

"The Federal Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation to ascertain the extent of the racist incident that took place at the Stadio del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia during the Milan-Sassuolo match, which saw AC Milan player Kevin Constant the subject of chants from some supporters in the stands."

But Milan doesn't seem to be all that happy with Constant as they were with Prince-Boateng:

"This was not a decision he should have taken upon himself to make.

"Despite his more than understandable reasons and the anger he must have felt, AC Milan would like to remind everyone that the only people responsible for intervening against any manifestations that offend the human dignity, which includes racial discrimination, are the referee in charge of the match and the head of public safety."

They're the two most celebrated soccer clubs in Mexico and their fans and teams don't like each other. Someone came up with the idea of having the two play each other in Las Vegas for a friendly...

Which led to a lot of fans throwing everything at each other an hour before kickoff and things being thrown inside the stadium onto the pitch at players after the players got into a fight themselves and the game was finally over...

Classy... a little background...

Club America is owned by media group Televisa and they play home games at Azteca Stadium- the largest stadium in Latin America. Conventional wisdom is that CA is the most hated team in Mexico. Kinda like the Yankees...

Chivas plays at Estadio Omnilife in Guadalajara.

The fans weren’t the only ones who wanted to fight on Wednesday night. Four players from the two teams were ejected during the match. 400 fans were involved in the fights and it took 120 cops to break the whole evening up...

Here are the player ejections and the row from the first half...
