Javier Aguirre Likes to Get Involved

Posted: 10 Jul 2009 12:26 PM PDT

Who says the Gold Cup isn’t exciting? Last night’s 1-1 draw between Mexico and Panama in Houston had all kinds of drama, including the above moment where Mexico manager Javier Aguirre decided to get more involved in the game and tackle Panama’s Ricardo Phillips mid-dribble.

Phillips was surprised/angry enough to give Aguirre a shove, and then smart enough to very quickly back off when just about the entire Mexican bench jumped up to protect their head coach.

All very exciting, but then it got a bit weird. Referee Joel Aguilar sent both men off, but Phillips refused to go quietly. Or quickly.

It took ten minutes and plenty of persuasion from Panamanian officials, CONCACAF officials and stadium security before Phillips finally departed, and when he did so he was showered with trash from the crowd.

And it didn’t stop there. Apparently the crowd got even more rowdy and referee Aguilar toyed with the idea of abandoning the game only to be overruled by CONCACAF officials.

The good folks at Unprofessional Foul have diligently compiled all the highlights, so pay their post a visit to see what went down.
