Know what you don't see often? A soccer brawl. This one in Brazil, during the Campeonato Mineiro state championship final between and Atlético-MG, was bad enough for the ref to issue 23 red cards in the aftermath. Twenty. Three. Cruzeiro 12, Atlético 11.
My take: By rule, red cards carry a suspension for the next game. This was a final, so each team's going to be a bit short-handed for next season's openers. Call up a few academy players, I suppose.
