The United States and Bahrain met in an U-19 international this evening, and the U.S. took the 'we won't be defeated, we'll be destroyed' approach to the final stages.
With Bahrain leading 3-1 in injury time, one of their players decided to belt the ball at the head of opponent Pierre Da Silva, in a move that presumably had Alex Ferguson fearing for the American player's life.
It all kicked off from there:
