What Counts In Soccer As A Fight Broke Out After The Red Bulls-Galaxy Match

The MLS playoffs are underway—you knew that, right?—and after the L.A. Galaxy's 1-0 victory over New York Red Bulls things got a bit testy. It wasn't brouhaha levels, mostly because the guy who appeared suffer the most pain (Red Bulls defender Rafael Márquez) wasn't actually touched, as far as anybody can tell. Even once the game is over, soccer players cant help but dive.

Mike McGee had the only goal of the match, one played on a pitch that was mangled by attempts to clear snow. The teams head to Los Angeles for the second leg of their playoff tie Thursday.
