Costa Rica coach Paulo Wanchope may be out of a job after his fight with security guards in Panama last night. Great video of the start of the fight here...

Edited and updated to add that Wanchope decided to quit:

This is exactly what the directors of Federation de Futbol de Costa Rica deserve after what they did to a successful, professional coach who took the national team, for the first time ever, as far as the quarter finals in last year's FIFA World Cup…they sacked him because he was a serious, hard working, demanding and competent soccer manager, and most importantly, got results…this didn't play well with the local soccer mafia, especially when the coach, Jorge Luis Pinto from Colombia, was not a tico!

Back to mediocrity and doing things the tico way…

No way CR qualifies for the next World Cup, not with these clowns in charge, and not with regional countries like Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama and even lowly Cuba doing things in a more professional way.

Unfortunately the whole country and its fans will pay the price!

La Sele were 0-4-5 under Wanchope :shock: Not a good resume. Probably most of those matches were with 'under-23' squads, as was the match with Panama, but nevertheless...pathetic.
