The disciplinary committee is set
to examine Juan Camilo Zuniga's
challenge on the Brazil star,
which ruled him out of the rest of
the World Cup

Fifa has confirmed
it will analyse the
incident in
Friday's World
Cup quarter-final
which saw Neymar suffer a broken
vertebra.
Colombia defender Juan Camilo
Zuniga challenged the Brazil star
from behind in the closing stages of
the game, causing the back injury
which has now ruled the Barcelona
forward out of the tournament.
Zuniga insisted after the match he
did not mean to hurt Neymar with
the challenge, for which he escaped
a yellow or red card, but Fifa has
since revealed that their
disciplinary committee will examine
the incident to see if further action
should be taken.
"The disciplinary committee is
analysing the matter. The spirit of
fair play is very important and we
want to avoid difficult things on the
field of play," said Fifa's head of
media Delia Fischer at a briefing on
Saturday.
Despite Zuniga's protestations that
his challenge was honest, former
Brazil striker Ronaldo claims the
Colombian has a case to answer.
"The challenge was a very violent
one – I believe there was an
intention by the Colombian player
to cause some harm," he told
reporters in Brazil.
"I don't think it was normal football
play, I don't know whether he had
planned this beforehand but I do
believe it was very aggressive, very
violent."
Goals from David Luiz and Thiago
Silva sealed a 2-1 win for Brazil on
the night that secured their semi-
final spot, where they will face
Germany.

I have always maintained that fifa is bias in everything that has to do with africa and asian countries. If they are investigating it they should investigate Onazi's injury too. na ma own be dat ooo

racism
fifa-racist

FIFA wanted Brazil to win the WC. Now the chances are very slim with Neymar and Silva out of the next game.

You all should say NO to racism, we are the only people that has the right to be racist- FIFA.

I think we all should take this to twitter and vent the unjust/racist act by fifa towards africans

No comment

That was what came to my mind when I first saw this article. Onazi's injury exposed Mikel and our midfield and France scored afterwards!! If they happen to punish the columbian, we Africans should unite on Onazi's case.

Fifa be like.. Say No to racism.. But they are the main racist.. Sepp blatter is too corrupt.. #IHateFifa

FIFA = RACIST

Abu Mikey: FIFA = RACIST

The last I checked Neymar is black

Abu Mikey: FIFA = RACIST

They are not racists, they are just bias, insincere, corrupt, selective and have no regard for Africa.

If this report is true, it's time for us to unitedly hit them hard and tell it to their face that they are corrupt, and bias toward Africa.

The "Africa" effect!

Fifa can't be racist to South Americans.
