Spain And Chile Have A Good Old Fashioned Scrap (Video)

By Alan Duffy

World Champions Spain and Chile celebrated FIFA’s Fair Play Day in Switzerland in ironic fashion by having a bit of a ding-dong at the end of the game, which the visitors won 3-2.

The kerfuffle somewhat overshadowed the fact that Barcelona’s perennially pasty-looking schemer Andrea Iniesta had scored his first international goal since his World Cup final winner back in July 2010.

Indeed, the Casper The Friendly Ghost of world football even suggested that the fisticuffs showed that La Roja were united as one, despite the mix of Barca and Real Madrid players. “The brawl demonstrates that we are a team, ” he explained.

Credit must be given to Iniesta’s new club team-mate, Cesc Fabregas (who netted a brace in the game),  who acted as the proverbial peacemaker.

    Stop blaming Mourinho for the fights in the Clasicos. They do it even when he is not around. This is what Spaniards do for fun, this and hucking spears at bulls at a bull fight.

    Despite the rumble, that Chile shirt is nice.

    Typical Spaniards

    One person gets pushed over, and that gets called a scrap?
    I don’t condone violence, but if you’re gonna do it, do it properly

    Imagine what any of these guys would have to say about that…

    Puma have overused their kit design by now. Looks good in club football, but a national jersey should be more “unique”.

    Anyway, good scrap lads.

    interesting to see that arbeloa of real madrid jumped to iniesta’s defense. and again, sergio ramos in the thick of it, KILLING people lol. and as with any scrap involving real madrid/barcelona, valdes ran the entire field to impose his way with steely determination.
    i personally think that with ramos, they can’t lose any fights hahahah

    Right on Steve K. “Brawl” seems to get thrown around too often for incidences where one guy gets pushed and the rest of the teams run up to yell at each other.

    You want a real brawl try this one, Darren McCarty ftw:
