(June 28) -- Two men are dead today in Texas after an argument over a World Cup match that police said ended in a hail of bullets.

Four men were talking soccer at a birthday party early Sunday morning when things took a violent turn, according to Dallas police. Julio Rojasbahena, 28, went to get a handgun from his car after a disagreement about the upcoming match sent him into a rage.

Around 3 a.m, police said, Rojasbahena opened fire and shot Raul Santoyo, 17, and Lewis Santoyo, 27, dead before wounding himself in the leg. The Dallas Morning News reports that Rojasbahena is being held on capital murder charges in Dallas.

It's not clear which rivalry set off the violence, but Sunday's matchups included Argentina against Mexico and England against Germany. Dallas police could not immediately be reached for comment today.
