The ultimate baseball fight. Marichal clubs Roseboro with a bat. That doesn't appear in this clip but you can see Marichal wielding the bat during the brawl.

Mario Balotelli was racially abused during his side's Euro 2012 opener as hundreds of Spain fans made monkey noises at the Italy striker.

 

Just days after reports of the Holland team being on the receiving end of vile abuse during a training session in Krakow, the latest race storm has overshadowed Italy's 1-1 draw with the reigning champions.

 

Balotelli, who had a frustrating hour on the pitch before being substituted, threatened before the tournament to walk off if he was abused during a match.

At least 15 people were injured in fighting between fans. Polish police also fired rubber bullets and tear gas at a group of young Poles who attacked them with glass bottles.

 

"To be honest, I haven't seen or heard anything and nor have the players," Russia coach Dick Advocaat said. "I don't know what has happened."

 

The violence erupted around a group of thousands of Russian fans who marched in a cordon of riot police across a bridge over the Vistula River to the National Stadium to celebrate the Russia Day national holiday.

 

The march was seen as a provocation by many Poles, who share a difficult history with Russia, including decades of control by Moscow during the Cold War. Many Poles felt the authorities should not have allowed the Russians to march as a group in Warsaw given the historical wounds.

 

Russia's football federation pleaded with its fans to behave after video emerged online of supporters beating stewards at the Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw during the match against the Czech Republic, warning that more trouble could cost the team points.

 

UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against the Russian federation following the trouble in Wroclaw, including throwing fireworks onto the field and displaying nationalist flags -- both of which happened again Tuesday.

I don;t support this behavior but how can he be dumb enough to say he would quit if harassed? Of course they're going to harass him then.

Suspensions or fines would just be adding insult to injury. Their time would be better spent investigating how their referees managed to completely butcher the overtime period of an elimination playoff game, rather than the players who rightfully called out the atrocious officiating. But the Coyotes rocked the boat, so...

Met his dad the other day and heard his son talk but didn't know it was him until he had left.
