Jesse Marsch had a meltdown

Spiking the ball is against the rules in soccer, but ok in football.

Professional soccer manager and grown man Jesse Marsch had a bit of a temper tantrum at the end of the New York Red Bulls’ loss to the Philadelphia Union in U.S. Open Cup play this evening at Talen Energy Stadium. Marsch was ejected from the match in stoppage time after Bradley Wright-Phillips was whistled for a handball in the Union’s box. But what happened next was comical.

At first I thought Marsch was going to go full Bobby Knight and launch a chair out onto the pitch.
