No coach should ever touch a player...especially one on the opposing team. It's a disgrace to soccer in general. If FIFA doesn't suspend him...it sends a message to all players and coaches...that this behavior is acceptable and condoned.

There are probably fewer Spanish speakers who understand the difference between f-you and f-yea that there are Americans who would know how to pronounce H-E-J-D-U-K if they didn't hear it already. Hopefully our ignorance wouldn't lead to slapping or other hasty reactions, but I would not bet it wouldn't. looks like a lingual-cultural misunderstanding that got “out of hand” (no pun intended but decided to emphasize it when it happened) just as Hejduk described it.
