I just talked to the Fire, and their take is very similar to es brennt's. See Backdraft for quotes: http://www.section8c...html/Itemid,96/

Interestingly, MLS have removed a video of the incident from youtube. I hear they are "shitting themselves" over it.

Somehow, I actually see this turning into one giant mess.

The existence of video highlights... or the actions on the video?

If anyone can make a mess of it, it's MLS and the USSF.

I'm now hearing rumblings of a possible MLS disciplinary meeting. Hopefully for a slap on the wrist.

I imagine Kevin Payne is going pompously ballistic as we speak.

Here's another question, this time for someone closer to home:
Where was Blanco's god-damned bodyguard to keep Temoc from being harrassed by puny,pasty DC FO schmucks? Did Monterrey screw up once again, only this time, it's the owner (Temoc's bodyguard), not some low level stooge?

Hopefully Ben Olsen's ankle hurts too.

A suspension in league would be wrong because, as mentioned a few times, it wasn't an MLS game. I expect it to be a suspension similar to what Temo got for that little fight in the Copa Libertadores he got into. I reckon it'd be fair.

We don't have to: it already happened. 2007, CDCUSA-LA. Becks hacks Marsch, Marsch hacks Becks. Becks flies, gets right back up (amazing, for he had that bad ankle), runs into Marsch's face, pressing noses, and Marsch gets the yellow card. He also apologizes to Becks later on. Beckham's penalty: nothing.

Then there is this one from earlier this year where Beckham gets absolutely hacked by Dallas, gets up, chases after the player, takes a few swings. Result: nothing. Red card for the other guy, of course. So yeah, as far as Prima Donas go, Blanco is being treated differently. He isn't allowed to retaliate against any infractions suffered by either him or his teammates, and his teammates better not defend him, either.

It will be a travesty if MLS disciplines Blanco for something he did in a non-MLS game. USSF should discipline all three players involved.
As for the alleged head-butt, while I suspect that it was the sort of head-butt that happens when two people have a heated argument toe-to-toe, anyone dumb enough to get into the face of a player who has just been ejected for fighting deserves the ol' Glasgow kiss.
We'll see Tommy Soehn and his cast of whiny little bitches next month, and at a real football ground, not some cockamamie "soccerplex" in Nowheresville, State of Whogivesadamn.
Then we'll see what Marc Bitch is really made of.
His mama makes a mean omelet.
