Freddy Montero’s first goal of the season for Seattle Sounders was a sight to behold. The Los Angeles Galaxy and keeper Bill Gaudette may feel a bit differently though.

Eric Wynalda probably jumped over some sort of line
I found this tweet disturbing, to be honest. It is not the type of thing, in my opinion, for a national commentator to be speculating on in a public forum like Twitter. It is too easy to be seen as race-baiting without facts to back it up. Yes, there is an intense rivalry between the USA and Mexico in terms of the national teams and yes, at times there have been some ugly incidents in stadiums. That does not mean everything is racially motivated, including a moment of madness at the end of a hard-fought playoff match that resulted in a loss for a high-powered high-money outfit. Marquez lost his head. That does not mean he did it because he hates Landon Donovan for being American. To draw that conclusion is disingenuous at best.

Apparently Rafa Marquez did not want to go to the West Coast, so he whipped the ball at Landon Donovan AFTER the final whistle yesterday. What a sportsman!

In case you were wondering what all the hubbub on Twitter was this afternoon regarding Mario Balotelli, here’s the video evidence of his colossal douchebaggery. He was rightfully substituted after this, and then had the temerity to not only show up his teammates and manager, but also remove his shirt on the bench and then not turn up for the second half.
This young man has a lot of growing up to do. From the article on the Mail:
The City manager replaced Balotelli moments after the Italian striker wasted a one-on-one chance by attempting to score with an extravagant backheel.
As soon as the ball flew wide, Mancini jumped angrily to his feet and instructed James Milner to warm up before taking Balotelli off minutes later.
To make matters worse, Balotelli then questioned his manager’s decision, prompting an embarrassing touchline scene in front if baffled American spectators.
Mancini has supported Balotelli through thick and thin since persuading City to pay £23million for the Italian international last summer.
