Edmundo in trouble again



Football: One of Brazil's most controversial players, Edmundo, has been suspended for ten days by club officials at Vasco da Gama over his feud with teammate, Romario.

The temporary suspension comes amid speculation that Edmundo -- whose fiery temperament and public outbursts are legendary -- may leave Vasco, less than a year after he was signed.

In the latest incident on Saturday, Edmundo stormed out of the Vasco dressing room after refusing to play against Palmeiras.

He is said to be angry that Romario has been made captain. Last year, he was convicted of manslaughter for causing the death of three people in a car crash.
