Argentinian Soccer Brawl Gets Full Team Ejected
There have been plenty of Latin American soccer brawls over the years, but it seems hard to believe that any have been as crazy as the one that hit Bolivar, Argentina, this weekend, when referees sent off an entire team with 18 red cards following the Argentinian version of the Indiana Pacers’ Palace at Auburn Hills moment.
The fight came an hour into an Argentinian Primera C league match between Barracas Bolivar and General Lamadrid, when players from Lamadrid got into an argument with Barracas Bolivar fans (the kind of thing which could only happen in the hardly penned stands of Latin America). Moments later, fans from the home side began to fight with the visiting fans, including players who were watching from the stand. From there, the rest, as they say, is history.
