Fights

There are a few names for what Chile's Gonzalo Jara did to Uruguay's Edinson Cavani in the Copa America quarterfinals, which Chile won, 1-0.

One of my coworkers called it "credit-carding." A friend who played high school soccer with my cousin calls it "checking his oil." My high school basketball coach calls it "cornholing."

There's no way to sugarcoat this: Gonzalo Jara gave Edinson Cavani an involuntary prostate exam. He stuck his finger up Edinson Cavani's ass. Then he fell to the ground and pretended Cavani hit him in the face.

Facundo Roncaglia is a right-back for Geneo. 

Facundo Roncaglia has had a respectable career that has seen him play for Boca Juniors, Espanyol, and Fiorentina. He has made 6 appearances for the Argentine national team, and has done little — as far as I know — to tarnish a reputation that is nothing if not respectable. 

Yikes. Seattle Sounders 2's Sergio Mota did a bad thing. A really bad thing. The bad thing he did was kicking LA Galaxy II's Adrian Vera in his crotch with both feet. Mota was rightly sent off, although that probably won't stop Vera from seeming a little jumpy and talking in a high-pitched voice than usual for the forseeable future. Getting hit in the nuts hurts. Getting kicked in the nuts, with two, cleated feet, must be the worst feeling in the world. Adrian Vera is pretty damn tough if he kept playing after that.

Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez comes to terms with fellow Chilean teammate Marcelo Diaz on the pitch when they faced El Salvador in a friendly before the Copa America.

Yellow cards are often met with anger, but we have never, ever seen anyone take out that anger like this.

Portuguese police are investigating the police beating of a Benfica fan, caught on camera, in front of his son.

Argentinian clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate resort to malicious tactics to help their team.

After a draw, one fan took his frustration out on a forward with a flying kick to the back.

Juventus defender Patrice Evra has his sights set on a Champions League trophy, but he has not forgotten about an old antagonist.

Fabrizio was pissed off at his own home crowd, and and he got sent off letting them know it.
