JERUSALEM - Rival Israeli football fans brawled Tuesday outside a Tel Aviv courthouse that was extending the arrests of other fans who had stormed the field and halted a league match.Video footage showed the fans flailing wildly on the street and hitting each other with belts and sticks for several minutes.The clash added to outrage in Israel over rising soccer violence that resulted in the abandonment of Monday nights game between local rivals Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv.Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said six people were arrested following Tuesdays street fight. He said police would be reviewing footage of the game and courthouse brawl and further arrests were expected.Maccabi and Hapoel were level at 1-1 in the first half when a shirtless fan ran onto the field and began hitting and kicking Maccabi midfielder Eran Zehavi.The Hapoel fan, who authorities later said had been arrested 11 times for acts of violence, crossed the goal line and kicked Zehavi after he had levelled the score with a penalty kick.The fan then taunted the Hapoel bleacher section by simulating gunshots toward them.Zehavi retaliated with a shove to the throat before the fan, 41-year-old Alroee Yadai, swung a fist toward his head.The two exchanged more kicks, with Zehavi landing a flying karate kick, before security and other players intervened. The fan was dragged away.The referee then showed Zehavi a red card, sparking screaming between players and coaches.The game resumed for a few minutes before more fans ran onto the field and began exchanging blows with security personnel.The game was then halted and the players came off as debris descended from the stands toward Zehavi, as he left the field with his coach, Jordi Cruyff. Police arrested 12 fans.Former Israel international and current Hapoel coach Eyal Berkovic called it a black day for Israeli soccer.This is not soccer, this is war, Berkovic said.A special parliamentary committee has convened as a result of the brawl.What happened was extremely serious and shameful, Israeli Culture and Sport Minister Limor Livnat said. Its a shame there are those who want to turn the field into a battle zone and spoil the principles of Israeli soccer and sport.

This week they discuss Steve Nash, the Spirits handling of Terry Traffords passing, Ralph Krueger and NHL shootouts. Bruce Arthur, the National Post: My thumb is up to Steve Nash, who was shut down this week with nerve pain, which has been limiting him since a harmless-looking collision early last year. Hes only played 10 games for the Lakers this season and he looked like himself once. If this isnt the end of his 18-year career, then were getting close. So why thumbs up? Because of how hes facing it. Nash is making short films for ESPNs Grantland that are incredibly honest - jarringly so, at times - about what its like to face your athletic mortality and was incredibly honest again when I spoke to him this week. Nash and I are the same age; we both came from B.C.; we both played basketball and thats where the comparison ends. And again, hes showing me what it would be like. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to the eerie silence that has engulfed the Saginaw Spirit in the tragic wake of the passing of 20-year-old Terry Trafford.There are questions here – but, to date, no answers coming from the prominent junior hockey people, coach Greg Gilbert or general manager Jim Paliafito. We know, from Traffords father, that the Spirit sent Terry home for what Roy Trafford calls “disciplinary reasons.” And we know, from the same conversation, that the time away from the team was supposed to be temporary, a few days. Then something changed. What changed? We dont know. Telephone messages were left informing Trafford that he was no longerr welcome to return to the team.dddddddddddd What we dont know and may never know - is why. To date, the only people who have those answers arent sharing them. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: Forget the Dos Equis guy. My thumb is up to the truly most interesting man in the world, Ralph Krueger. Less than a month after being the big-ice guru for the Canadian mens Olympic hockey team, Krueger has switched continents and sports. He is now chairman of Southampton FC, having jumped to the rarified world of English Premier League soccer without prior experience in the game. Krueger can match resumes with anyone. The Manitoban played pro hockey in Germany, built the Swiss national program, coached the Edmonton Oilers before his premature firing and boosted Team Canada. He also is an active member of the World Economic Forum. Now, soccer. Bartender, Ill drink what Kruegers drinking. Dave Hodge, TSN: Thumbs down to the NHL and its inability to deal with its dislike of the shootout. At the GMs meetings in Florida, the NHL continued to look for ways to decrease the number of shootouts. One way would be to change overtime from four-on-four to three-on-three, but if youre making a list of ideas that are less popular than the shootout,
