LODI (CBS13) Several people were injured outside the Grape Bowl in Lodi on Saturday after a brawl broke out between fans of rival soccer teams.
Lodi police say more than 100 people spilled out into the streets surrounding the stadium, around 2:45 p.m., with several dozen directly involved in the fighting.
Ernie Silva lives just behind the stadium and saw it all unfold from his block, starting with a shirtless man with a severe head injury.
Blood pouring out everywhere, he said, describing the mans head and face. Not even a second later I hear sirens.
The event was high profile soccer match between rivals Chivas and America.
We werent expecting any type of violence or a brawl to break out. This was just going to be a sporting event, said officer Jerry Bahr with Lodi Police.

Probably like 60 people fighting right in the middle of the street, swinging big pipes. Big ole 12 foot pipes, 5-foot pipes flying across the crowd, he said. People started to scatter, running through the parking lot, bloody, shirts off.

In the end, police did not make any arrests, but say its an open investigation and ask anyone from the public with pictures or video to come forward so they can piece together how the fight started and identify the people involved.
Yep, what this country needs is s'more wetbacks for the cops to not arrest.
Seems that soccer fans (hooligans) are the same the world over.
