And who said soccer would never be a mainstream sport in the US?! Here's proof of it's growing popularity in Texas! An excerpt from today's Houston Chronicle...
"TYLER — At least four people were injured Sunday in a brawl involving two adult soccer teams and spectators at a Tyler park. Authorities said one man was cut with a beer bottle and another was beaten with a baseball bat.
Witnesses said the fight, which involved nearly 100 people, started while a Tyler team called Real Madrid was accepting a championship trophy. Real Madrid member Junior Perez said the situation erupted after a teenage girl began arguing with two older women.
Carlos Perez, another Real Madrid player, said members from the losing Alcones team retrieved five aluminum bats from their cars and began striking other vehicles during the brawl.
Tyler Police Sgt. Robert Plymail said the man who was cut with the beer bottle drove a pickup truck into a sport utility vehicle. Plymail said he will be charged with reckless driving."
It continued from there....
