Vela causes trouble!
Carlos Vela and Efrain Juarez were suspended for six months by the Mexican Football Federation and fined 50,000 pesos after the due broke some rules of conduct following a friendly against Colombia in Monterrey earlier this month.

FMF executive Nestor De La Torre announced the actions on Tuesday. Other players were involved in the after-hours incidents in Monterrey and were fined but only Vela and Juarez were slapped with suspensions

What was he thinking
Vela, who plays for Arsenal in England, and Juarez, of Scottish side Celtic, broke four rules of conduct while their fellow Tricolor teammates broke only one, De La Torre said.

Also receiving fines were Guillermo Ochoa, Francisco Rodriguez, Carlos Salcido, Andres Guardado, Gerardo Torrado, Pablo Barrera, Giovani dos Santos, Javier Hernandez, Rafael Marquez, Enrique Esqueda and Hector Moreno. The fines amount to roughly $4,000 USD.

I Bet Tequilla was involved
Mexico beat Colombia 1-0 in Monterrey as part of the nation's Bicentennial celebrations.

Vela and Juarez will be unable to play for Mexico until mid-March if the suspensions hold. Mexico has at least one match in that span as El Tri will play a friendly in early February, during the first of FIFA's international fixture dates.
