The coach for Brazil's soccer team, Carlos Dunga, is taking heat for insulting a reporter from the Brazilian television network Globo, and swearing at a French referee, after the FIFA World Cup game against the Ivory Coast on Sunday.
Globoesporte.com and the newspaper O Globo both are reporting that Dunga could be disciplined under FIFA regulations.
The incident brings to mind previous demonstrations of bad blood between the press and Dunga, according to EFE.
