    Did anyone else saw the fight that breakout between teammates at lighting delay with chivas and Rapids game. Boy this chivas team can play some awesome one-touch football and you hardly see the ball in the air. I hope they get the cup this year. I loved the RB and Fire game as well last night.

    It was Pablo Mastroeni and I think Jose Cancela. I never seen team mates fight each other.

    Cancela felt that Mastroeni's recent comment about Canada in Sports Illustrated was unprofessional. He felt that the comment undermined the nation-friendly reputation that MLS has been building this season. He also believed that this statement would only reinforce the negative coverage of soccer by the US media as a racist, violent sport.

    Words escalated, the GDP of Uruguay was mentioned, and things got ugly.

    Not in the highlight because Telefutura didn't cut back to the game after the delay was over.

    The rest was a joke. No one here knows why they were fighting and probably won't until it hits the papers.

    Mastroeni found out his boyfriend was cheating on him with Cancela?

    I truly expect Pablo to start a fight next week with Real Salt Lake. I'd be suprised if he doesn't.

    I'm always surprised at how much sarcasm on BS (especially if it's humorous) gets taken seriously. Our culture is losing its precious sense of irony.

    Sakatei's joking. In a recent SI issue, they asked four players a few random questions. For the "what country could you not find on a map", Pablo answered "Canada. Just Kidding."

    The great thing about the Newcastle fight is both guys got redcarded. Hilarity.
