No action against Germans in Argentina fracas: FIFA



Berlin, July 2 (DPA) The world's governing football body FIFA Sunday said it would not take any disciplinary action against German players involved in a melee after the quarter-final game against Argentina.

The decision left the Germans free to prepare for Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against Italy without the threat of losing any of their players.

But FIFA spokesman Markus Siegler said its disciplinary committee would look into role of German team manager Oliver Bierhoff and other team officials in the fracas.

'There will be a review of the behaviour of German officials,' he said. 'We are not yet at the point where proceedings could begin, but still reviewing the unpleasant events.'

Argentina reserve player Leandro Cufre was shown a red card for kicking an opponent during the scuffles that broke out on the pitch between players and officials from both teams after Friday's match.

Bierhoff blamed Argentina for the trouble for trying to provoke the Germans during the penalty shoot-out, which the hosts won, giving them a berth in the semi-finals.

'I wanted to calm things down, and then they went for me, too,' Bierhoff said of the ruckus, which broke out when Cufre went for German defender Per Mertesacker with a kick to the groin.

It all came to a head during the penalty shootout, when the majority German fans among the 72,000 crowd persistently whistled when it was the Argentine players' turn to shoot, while the South Americans tried to faze the Germans by swearing at them.

'But we didn't understand any of that because it was in Spanish,' said German captain Michael Ballack.

Cufre now faces a lengthy playing ban, while disciplinary proceedings have also been opened into team-mate Maxi Rodriguez for attacking Bastian Schweinsteiger.
