A BIZARRE SCENE unfolded at the Nike International Friendlies in Florida earlier this week where Brazil’s under-17 team refused to keep playing during a 4-1 loss to the United States.

After Brazil picked up a second red card with five minutes to play, their players stopped playing and simply stood at the midfield line with their hands on their hips.
