British police on lookout for hooligans on U.S. tour

 
British police are seeking to identify West Ham supporters who may be stirring up trouble on the English Premier League club's preseason tour of North America. A halftime scuffle among spectators at West Ham's 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew in a friendly match on Sunday resulted in one arrest. West Ham also will play against the Major League Soccer all-stars, who include former England captain David Beckham, on Thursday night at BMO Field in Toronto. (link)
