The coach of LAFC was fined after the match against Real Salt Lake during a snowstorm

The match, which Real Salt Lake won 3-0, started several hours late due to terrible weather conditions. After only a few minutes of the game, it was almost impossible to see the edges of the field (photos went viral on the Internet), and the game was stopped several times to clear the snow.

“This is one of the worst professional sporting events I’ve ever seen… It’s a travesty and an absolute disgrace to play this game,” Steve Cherundolo, FC Los Angeles coach, after the game.

The North American Soccer League (MLS) recognized these statements as a violation of its rules and imposed a fine of 10 thousand dollars on the coach from Los Angeles, writes News.ro.
