Mourinho's eye-poke ban lifted for Spanish Cup

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho's ban for poking Barcelona counterpart Tito Vilanova in the eye last year was lifted Tuesday, clearing the way for the pair to meet at the Spanish Super Cup next month.
Mourinho had been banned for poking Vilanova in the eye during an on-field brawl at the end of a Super Cup match last year. Vilanova was suspended for one game for his retaliatory slap on Mourinho, but that was also overturned, allowing the new Barcelona coach to face the Portuguese in the Aug. 23 first leg at the Camp Nou. Madrid hosts the second leg at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium a week later.

no public figure no matter who it is should do that, he is supposed to be looked up to and you teach your fans and supporters to curse on the opposition?
