Let's hope nothing like this ever happens in MLS nor with the USMNT.

Football fans jailed over assault
Two Brighton men have been jailed over a brawl that broke out in the town following a football match between England and Croatia in Euro 2004.

During the fight in Market Street, on 22 June last year, a 45-year-old local man received a fractured skull.

Troy Johnson of New England Street was jailed for three years and Paul Measor, 23, of Bevendean received two years.

At Hove Crown Court on Wednesday both men pleaded guilty to charges of grievous bodily harm and affray.

A third man, Wayne Saunders, 23, of Hartington Road, Brighton, was fined £500 after pleading guilty to common assault.

Following the hearing DC Matt Grantham from Sussex Police said: "This was an extremely brutal attack on a man who was trying to act as a peacemaker.

"The robust investigation and subsequent sentencing shows our commitment to bringing those to justice who are involved in mindless alcohol fuelled football related violence."
