Sportsmanship?

Bayern Munich soccer coach Pep Guardiola is taking a lot of heat today after what he did following the Major League Soccer all-star game in Portland Wednesday night. Or rather, it's more about what he didn't do: He refused to shake the American coach's hand.

The game featured the MLS' best players going up against a European powerhouse. But Guardiola became incensed over the officiating and apparently didn't appreciate the aggressive play on the part of the MLS players, who won the game 2-1.
