Former United States international Eric Wynalda has reportedly been named in a battery report involving a teen after a fight broke out while he coached his son's soccer team.

The 54-year-old, who won 106 caps for his country between 1990 and 2000, is accused of trading insults with a teen on the opposition team.

According to TMZ, who cite a Las Vegas police report, Wynalda called the boy a 'b****' and insulted his mother.  


The coach - who is said to deny any wrongdoing - was at the center of the initial altercation, with one opposition player admitting to police he shoved Wynalda after they confronted one another.

That led to a fight breaking out between the two teams, with the teen claiming he suffered scratches.

According to TMZ, however, he is unsure if it was Wynalda or a player who caused the injury.

Another opposition player is accused of throwing the ball at Wynalda, with the ball appearing to strike the coach in the face.

A parent is said to have called 911 to report the incident, which reportedly began after Wynalda's son was forced off the field after being on the receiving end of a bad tackle.

Opposition players are then accused of trash talking the father of six, who scored 34 goals during his international career with the United States national team.
