Eric Wynalda, a former member of the U.S. national soccer team, has been named in a battery report stemming from an altercation while coaching his son’s team, according to TMZ.
A player on an opposing team reportedly claimed Wynalda called him a "b----" while also insulting his mother, a Las Vegas police report says.
A skirmish ensued, as the player told police he shoved Wynalda for what he said, leading to a fight where the teenager received a scratch in the aftermath.

As they had words, another player comes over and lightly shoves Wynalda while a referee is also right in front of the two.
That caused players from Wynalda’s team to jump off the bench, and the skirmish began.
