El domingo por la noche se produjo una violenta pelea a puñetazos en las gradas durante el partido de fútbol entre Estados Unidos y México, en la que los aficionados se lanzaron puñetazos a diestra y siniestra... y la salvaje escena quedó grabada en video.

Esto ocurrió en algún momento durante la victoria por 2-0 de Estados Unidos en la final de la Liga de Naciones de la CONCACAF en el AT&T Stadium de Arlington, Texas, cuando los seguidores del equipo mexicano se hartaron claramente de un hincha estadounidense que se regodeaba.

Mira las imágenes... se puede ver al hombre vestido de rojo, blanco y azul animando a su equipo, hasta que un hincha del equipo de México intentó golpearle en la cara.

A violent fistfight broke out in the stands during the USA vs. Mexico soccer game Sunday night -- with fans throwing haymakers left and right ... and the wild scene was all captured on video.

It happened at some point during the United States' 2-0 win in the CONCACAF Nations League final at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas ... when Team Mexico fans clearly had enough of a gloating U.S. supporter.

Check out the footage ... as the man decked out in red, white and blue cheered on his squad -- a Team Mexico fan tried to sock him in the face.

Shakira está abrazando completamente su vida de soltera, tanto que acaba de confesar que estar casada era algo que le pesaba y le puso un freno a su carrera musical.

La cantante colombiana estuvo 11 años con el futbolista Gerard Piqué, antes de que se separaran en 2022 en medio de rumores de infidelidad, y recientamente le dijo a Zane Lowe de Apple Music 1 que sin Gerard en su vida tiene un impulso compulsivo por trabajar y hacer música como nunca antes.

Ahora, la soltería de Shakira no es perfecta tampoco. También fue realista sobre los desafíos que conlleva ser madre soltera de sus hijos Milán, de 11 años y Sasha, 9 años.

La reina de "Hips Don't Lie", que se mudó de España a los Estados Unidos después de su separación, cuenta que sus dos hijos se apoyan mucho en ella y sin el maridito en el cuadro, dice que está sosteniendo el buque por sí misma.

Esta no es la primera vez que Shakira arremete contra Gerard por el impacto negativo que tuvo en su trabajo como cantente. También le dijo al Sunday Times que tuvo que sacrificar su carrera musical en nombre del amor.

Pero ahora, luego de 7 largos años, Shakira está de vuelta con su muy esperado álbum de estudio, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore), ¡que saldrá este viernes!

Shakira's all about that single life ... straight-up saying being married weighed her down, and put a damper on her music career.

The Colombian singer was with soccer player Gerard Piqué for 11 years before they separated in 2022 amid infidelity rumors ... and she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 that with Gerard outta the picture, she's now got a compulsive urge to work and make music like never before.

Shakira's singledom ain't all sunshine and rainbows though ... she's also keeping it real about the challenges of being a single parent to her sons, 11-year-old Milan and 9-year-old Sasha.

The "Hips Don't Lie" queen, who made the move from Spain to the U.S. post-split, dishes that her 2 kiddos are leaning on her big time ... and with no hubby in the picture, she's holding down the fort all by herself.

This ain't the first time Shakira's gently lashed out about how Gerard negatively impacted her career -- she also told the Sunday Times she sacrificed her music-making journey in the name of love.

But, Shakira's back in action ... after 7 long years, she's dropping her much-awaited studio album, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore), this Friday!

Absolute chaos broke out following a Turkish soccer game on Sunday ... when angry fans stormed the pitch in frustration with the final score -- just to get their asses kicked by the players!!

It all went down at Trabzonspor's home 3-2 defeat at the hands of Fenerbahce ... when the losing team's supporters got so upset over the Super Lig result, they started attacking the opposing players.

But Fenerbahce ended up getting two victories on the day ... 'cause players like Bright Osayi-Samuel and Michy Batshuayi put a beating on intruders -- and it was captured on video.

Batshuayi used his feet for more than footy -- kicking a fan who was approaching him.

Osayi-Samuel was also shown throwing a punch at two fans at once.

Security tried like hell to break up the brawl ... but not before even more spectators made their way to the pitch.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino released a statement on the ugly scene ... saying, "The violence witnessed after the Turkish Super Lig match between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce is absolutely unacceptable -- on or off the field, it has no place in our sport or society."

"All players have to be safe and secure to play the game which brings such joy to so many people all over the world."

He added ... "I call on the relevant authorities to ensure that this is respected at all levels and for the perpetrators of the shocking events in Trabzon to be held accountable for their actions."

Los fans de Shakira han estado esperando casi una década para un nuevo álbum, y su ex -Gerard Piqué- puede tener la culpa, al menos según la propia Shakira.

La cantante y compositora apareció en el Sunday Times para dar una entrevista que se publicó el sábado, donde reveló que pausó su carrera para apoyar a Gerard en sus días como jugador en Barcelona.

Shakira explicó que hizo un montón de sacrificios en nombre del amor -cosa que sabemos que no duró- decidiendo cuidar de los niños en lugar de centrarse en su música.

Por supuesto, Gerard y Shakira rompieron durante el verano de 2022, con rumores de infidelidad arremolinándose cuando la pareja tomó caminos separados.

El camino de Shakira la ha llevado fuera de España y hasta Miami, donde se ha hecho amiga de David Beckham, a quien dijo que conocía antes de empezar a salir con Gerard, cuando David jugaba para el rival del Barcelona, el Real Madrid.

La estrella colombiana dijo que está en contacto constante con Victoria Beckham, y espera llevar a su hijo Milan a un partido de fútbol en Miami, dejando al querido papá totalmente fuera de la ecuación.

Shakira se mantuvo por encima de todo conflicto con Piqué durante la entrevista, aunque admitió que parecía justicia divina que uno de sus viejos rivales de fútbol, Sergio Ramos, la presentara para el Grammy Latino.

Shakira también habló de su caso de fraude fiscal, aunque no dijo nada acerca de su falta de material musical. Después de todo es cantante y lo único que ha lanzado los últimos años es "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran", clara referencia a su terminada relación.

Shakira fans have been waiting almost a decade for a new album ... and her ex Gerard Piqué may be to blame -- at least, according to Shakira herself that is.

The singer-songwriter sat down with the Sunday Times for an interview published Saturday ... where she revealed she actually put her career on pause to support Gerard turning his playing days in Barcelona.

Shakira explained she made a lot of sacrifices in the name of love -- one we know didn't last -- deciding to take care of the kids rather than focusing on her music.

Of course, Gerard and Shakira broke up during the summer of 2022, with rumors of infidelity swirling as the pair went their separate ways.

Shakira's path has taken her out of Spain and down to Miami where she's made fast friends with David Beckham -- who she said she knew back before she started dating Gerard, when DB played for Barcelona's rival, Real Madrid.

The Colombian star said she's in constant contact with Victoria Beckham ... and she's hoping to take her son Milan to a soccer match down in Miami -- leaving dear old dad totally out of the equation.

Shakira stayed above the whole Piqué fray during the interview BTW -- though she did admit it seemed like cosmic justice that one of his old soccer rivals Sergio Ramos presented her with a Latin Grammy.

She also skipped over talking about her tax fraud case -- instead choosing to focus on her first studio album in seven years, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" which translates to "Women No Longer Cry" ... bit of a wink and a nudge to a certain ex?

A youngster at the USA vs. Colombia CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup matchup apparently needed something stronger than milk ... 'cause the baby was spotted adorably trying to drink a Truly hard seltzer!!

The hilarious moment was caught on the CBS Sports broadcast on Sunday ... showing a dad and his kid soaking in the 3-0 win for the Red, White and Blue in the 73rd minute of the contest.

All eyes were on what was in the little one's hands ... which appeared to be a wild berry Truly (which contains 5% alcohol).

But judging by the fact the kiddo was able to pull the can up to its lips, we're assuming the thing was empty ... so no need to destroy the kid's future with an underage.

Even though the baby was probably teething, some folks thought it was a bad look to let it even hold the can in the first place ... while others felt it was the perfect visual representation of 'Merica.

As for the game, the USWNT won the quarterfinal matchup at BMO Stadium in L.A. with ease ... punching a ticket to the semis against Canada.

Here's hoping if the kid makes it to San Diego for that game, it sticks to the non-alcoholic bevvies.

Becky G y Sebastian Lletget se ven muy felices juntos en Frisco, Texas, a pesar de haber tenido que lidiar con el drama de engaño el año pasado.

Todas las señales apuntan a que siguen juntos. Obtuvimos estas imágenes tomadas el lunes, que los muestra paseando afuera del Summer Moon Coffee.

La cantante de "Fulanito" y la estrella del fútbol se veían muy felices mientras disfrutaban de un poco de café en medio de una sesión de mimos en un banco del parque. Becky sonrió cariñosamente a su mediocampista mientras él pasó su brazo alrededor de sus hombros.

Esta muestra de cariño viene después de meses de pasar desapercibidos. La última vez que la pareja fue vista fue en noviembre, y también fue una cita de café.

Parece que el 2024 empieza con mejor pie para Becky y Sebastian, ya que sufrieron un bache en su relación después de que el atleta profesional fuera víctima de una "trama de extorsión" en medio de rumores de engaño en marzo.

Aunque la estrella del FC Dallas admitió haber tenido "un lapsus de 10 minutos en el juicio", dio a entender que la acusación de infidelidad de su acusadora estaba llena de mentiras y falsedades.

Él se disculpó con Becky y anunció su compromiso en diciembre de 2022, prometiendo hacerlo mejor.

A la pareja no le vino nada bien el drama de engaño, pero al parecer volvieron a las pistas a finales de 2023.

Becky G and Sebastian Lletget are looking awfully cozy and coupled up in Frisco, TX  ... despite dealing with cheating drama last year.

All signs point to them still going strong, based on these images shot Monday -- and obtained by TMZ -- while they were outside Summer Moon Coffee.

The "Fulanito" singer and the soccer star looked pretty damn happy while enjoying a bit of coffee amid a cuddle session on a park bench. Becky warmly smiled at her midfielder boo as he draped his arm around her shoulders.

This show of PDA comes after months of laying low -- the last time the pair was seen out and about was all the way back in November, which also involved a coffee date.

It seems 2024 is starting off on a better note for Becky and Sebastian ... who hit a snag in their relationship after the professional athlete was the alleged victim of an "extortion plot" amid cheating rumors in March.

Though the FC Dallas star admitted to "a 10-minute lapse in judgment" ... he hinted his accuser's infidelity allegation was filled with lies and falsities.

He did apologize to Becky, however -- who announced their engagement in December 2022 -- vowing to do better.

The couple wasn't doing well in the initial aftermath of the cheating drama, but reportedly got back on track by the end of 2023.

Victoria Beckham rocked a somewhat unexpected accessory at Paris Fashion Week heading into the weekend -- a pair of metal crutches ... hobbling her way into her own event.

The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer was seen limping along on the walking aids Friday -- which just so happened to perfectly match her all-black outfit -- ahead of the launch of her latest collection.

Posh Spice kept a low profile as she offered up no smile for the paparazzi and donned oversized black sunglasses -- still looking as chic as ever. Indeed, it was a sorta bizarre sight -- but Vic did her thing and kept it moving ... even if it was a little slow.

Her hubby, David Beckham, revealed last week that his wife was put in a boot after a "little accident in the gym." The retired soccer star told fans on Instagram that VB suffered from a "clean break" ... so hopefully she'll heal sooner rather than later.

Unclear what exactly happened that led to the injury ... but it wasn't enough to totally sideline her, obviously.

Victoria also spoke out about the injury herself ... having first announced the owie on Valentine's Day. VB posted about it on her IG Story ... throwing up a photo of her foot being treated with ice -- confirming she "fell over in the gym." Ouch!

BTW, these fashionable crutches made their way onto Victoria's catwalk, too -- but ever the professional ... the Beckham matriarch merely smized and tottered along, business as usual.

Juventus star Paul Pogba was banned for four years for doping ... a crushing blow for the international soccer star who says he's innocent and will appeal the decision!

The 30-year-old midfielder -- who has been ineligible to play since a drug test showed elevated testosterone levels last September -- shared news of the ban Thursday with his over 61 million Instagram followers ... after he received word from Italy's anti-doping board.

"I have today been informed of the Tribunale Nazionale Antidoping’s decision and believe that the verdict is incorrect," Pogba wrote.

"I am sad, shocked and heartbroken that everything I have built in my professional playing career has been taken away from me."

The decision means Pogba won't be able to play until 2027 ... although he says he's going to appeal the decision.

"When I am free of legal restrictions the full story will become clear," Pogba said, "but I have never knowingly or deliberately taken any supplements that violate anti-doping regulations."

"As a professional athlete, I would never do anything to enhance my performance by using banned substances and have never disrespected or cheated fellow athletes and supporters of any of the teams I have played for, or against."

Pogba's professional soccer career began in 2011 ... and has seen PP suit up for Manchester United and Juventus.

Paul re-signed with Juventus on a four-year deal in July 2022 ... but injured his meniscus weeks later. The injury also forced him to miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

A soccer reporter who was covering a famed rivalry game in Brazil over the weekend says she was forced to go to cops following the conclusion of the match ... after she claims one of the team's mascots sexually harassed her.

Canal Monumental journalist Gisele Kumpel alleged the misconduct happened while she was on the sidelines of Sunday's Grêmio vs. Sport Club Internacional tilt -- which soccer aficionados call "Gre-Nal."

Kumpel said in an interview with GloboEsporte that at several points during the match, Internacional's masked cheerleader, known as Saci, began making gestures at her ... before he bent over and looked down at her phone.

Then, according to Kumpel, following a big goal by Internacional in the second half ... Saci grabbed her and made kissing noises.

"He stopped next to me and simply hugged me," she told GE. "He hugged me. Even with the mask on, he pushed my head and made to kiss me. I could hear the kiss crack and I felt his sweat."

Kumpel went on to say she was the only female reporter in attendance ... and the only one who Saci embraced.

"Another day of women wanting to do their job in football and suffering for it with some idiots who are criminals," she wrote in a post on X ... while adding photos of her reporting the incident to local authorities. "I'm going to the end so that no other woman goes through this."

Internacional officials said in a statement to the U.S. Sun that they've suspended the person in the Saci costume as they and law enforcement continue to investigate the allegations.

Kumpel, meanwhile, said she's doing OK despite the incident ... writing on her social media page, "Everything is fine."

Proud mama moment for Kim Kardashian ... her son, Saint West, got the ultimate VIP experience at the Inter Miami vs. L.A. Galaxy match -- escorting Lionel Messi to the field!!

The cool interaction happened prior to Sunday's contest at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson ... when the soccer G.O.A.T. and his teammates walked onto the pitch with a number of local youth players.

8-year-old Saint -- the oldest son of Kim K and Kanye West -- was the lucky one picked to walk with Messi ... and it's something the reality superstar said he'll never forget.

"Saint walking Messi out on the field tonight at the La Galaxy vs Inter Miami game!!!" Kim said after posting video of the walkout on X. "He is living the absolute dream!"

It's unclear if Messi chatted with the youngin at all ... but he looked happy with the company as he looked down at him.

The two seem to be getting pretty familiar with each other now -- as it's at least the second time they've crossed paths.

Back in July 2023, Kim shared a pic of her futbol-loving son with Messi after his Inter Miami debut ... which she dubbed the "Best day of their entire lives."

Kim Kardashian se siente muy orgullosa de su hijo Saint West, que tuvo la mejor experiencia VIP en el partido entre el Inter de Miami y el L.A. Galaxy: ¡acompañando a Lionel Messi al campo!

La interacción ocurrió antes del partido del domingo en el Dignity Health Sports Park en Carson, cuando el G.O.A.T. del fútbol y sus compañeros de equipo entraron en el campo con un número de jugadores juveniles locales.

Saint de 8 años de edad -el hijo mayor de Kim y Kanye West- fue el afortunado elegido para caminar con Messi, y es algo que la superestrella de reality dijo que nunca olvidará.

"Saint paseando con Messi en el campo esta noche en el partido de La Galaxy vs Inter Miami!!!". dijo Kim después de publicar el vídeo del paseo en X. "¡Está viviendo el sueño absoluto!".

No está claro si Messi charló con el pequeño, pero parecía feliz con la compañía.

Los dos parecen estar familiarizándose bastante últimamente, ya que es la menos la segunda vez que se cruzan.

En julio de 2023, Kim compartió una foto de su hijo amante del fútbol con Messi después de su debut con el Inter de Miami, la cual ella llamó el "Mejor día de toda su vida".

Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt have their priorities in order ... hanging out "Ted Lasso" style before rolling up to the SAG Awards by hitting a pro soccer match.

The actors pulled up to MLS team LAFC's home BMO Stadium to watch the Los Angeles-based team take on the Seattle Sounders hours before one of the biggest nights in movies and television kicked off.

No time to go home and change between the events ... JS and BH hit the game in their awards show best, trading in their kits for tuxedos.

Check out the pic ... the guys looked dapper as they watched the home team take the W 2-1 before making the short trip to the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall.

The two venues are right around the corner from one another ... so no need for the dynamic duo to worry about missing the beginning of the show.

In fact, they both even had time to walk the red carpet ... and Jason was in his seat when the winner of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series was announced -- an award he was up for.
