Kaviedes and Tenorio Dust-Up?

Sources say Ecuador strikers Ivan Kaviedes, shown at right against Colombia, and Carlos Tenorio had an altercation in training camp that survived into the team’s time in New Jersey for the friendly against Colombia. Of course, stuff like this happens all the time on football teams; let’s hope it’s just one of those things that blows over.

I will say that, even as a big supporter of Kaviedes making the World Cup roster, I personally thought he became quick to excite as the match wore on. I also think that’s one of the reasons Coach Suarez subbed him when he did in the second half. Who knows. And maybe Tenorio saw the writing on the wall–he may not start at all in Germany. On the other hand, it’s sort of the media’s job to blow these things out of proportion, isn’t it?
