    Sounds like Vidal and wife are ok but he's going to jail for DUI as soon as he's out of the hospital

    Sampaoli translated quote: "We need Vidal. What he did is not that serious to us. He won't be dropped from the squad."

    yep he's clean

    SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile's star midfielder Arturo Vidal was banned from driving for four months by a Chilean judge on Wednesday after he crashed his Ferrari while driving under the influence of alcohol.

    Despite the judge's ruling, Chile national team coach Jorge Sampaoli said Vidal can continue to play for the Chile, which is among the favorites in on-going Copa America, the South American championship.

    "I don't like to remove or exclude someone for making a mistake," Sampaoli told a news conference.

    He said he couldn't control what players did in "their rest time."

    Vidal, known as "King Arthur" in Chile, appeared in court on Wednesday after being held overnight in a local jail. He suffered minor injuries in the crash, as did his wife, who was a passenger.

    Later he offered a teary apology.

    "I want say I'm sorry to my teammates, to the coaching staff, to the people — to the entire country," Vidal said. "I want to say I'm sorry, too, to the other people involved in an accident that was my fault."

    The court said Vidal showed 1.21 grams of alcohol in his blood per liter. Any level above 0.8 can be punished by up to three year in prison.

    Vidal scored twice on Monday in Chile's 3-3 draw with Mexico and is the leading scorer in the tournament with three goals.

    A photo of the accident showed heavy damage to the left-front of the Ferrari, and the airbags apparently deployed.

    The Juventus midfielder has had discipline problems in the past.

    Former Chile national team coach Claudio Borghi banned Vidal and four other players for 20 games after they showed up at training in "an inappropriate state." The ban was eventually reduced to 10 games.

    Chile faces Bolivia on Friday in a Group A match in Copa America.

    I finally watched the Colombia vs Brazil game.

    I'm glad Colombia won. Brazil had some huge opportunities, but didn't cash in on them.

    I really like Barca Neymar, but despise Brazil Neymar if that's even a thing.

    after thinking about it; I think Neymar gets his yellow rescinded for the handball, but will serve 1 game for the straight red after the Colombia game.
