The most GIF-able coach in sports, Mexico National Team coach Miguel Herrera, should have been in a joyous mood today. Mexico won the Gold Cup after a 3-1 victory over Jamaica in the final and they’ll now play the USA in a mouthwatering clash later this fall to decide who represents CONCACAF at the next Confederations Cup.

Alas, in the midst of celebrating the triumph, Herrera reportedly punched a Mexican journalist at the Philadelphia airport, Christian Martinoli of TV Azteca.

AS Mexico spoke with Martinoli, who has apparently been a critic of Herrera and El Tri in the past. The Google Translate version of the article says that Martinoli alleges Herrera punched him in the neck and basically challenged him to settle things outside.

@mexicoworldcup: Worth pointing out that @medranoazteca is a serious and respected journo in Mexico. Just when we though Gold Cup controversy was over!
In other words, it’s pretty much the most fitting ending possible to a wild and crazy Gold Cup.

@ESPNFCtri: Miguel Herrera set to meet with federation at 11am ET tomorrow. Looks like it could be the end. (Via @espnsutcliffe) https://t.co/iI8a9aLK4W

Living in Tucson, have a lot of friends who support both sides. Not sure why a lot support El Tri, seeing as they left that country as it provided them no opportunities nor future, and they might adopt the country that did provide those opportunities, but hey...

One posted this today:

"Sorry about your coach getting fired."

Mexico is just a classless circus all around... ffs even the Manager.

Abysmal tournament for CONCACAF. Some good story lines from former speed bumps upended and overshadowed by garbage antics, garbage tossing and garbage refereeing.
