World champs brawl on fair play day


World champions Spain set the wrong kind of example on Fifa's Fair Play day when they got themselves into a brawl at the end of their 3-2 friendly win over Chile on Friday.
Both coaches shrugged aside the incident but football's governing body are hardly likely to be pleased at its timing.
"It was nothing," said Spain coach Vicente del Bosque. "We've seen an excellent game of football and these things can happen in the heat of the moment."
Chile coach Claudio Borghi was also reluctant to talk about the incident, in which nearly all the players pushed, shoved and aimed kicks at each other.
"The end was bad for both teams," he said.
