Oh come on, Zuniga barely touched him, the injury was just deserts for Brazil's dirty tactics, disgraceful team and country. I suspect the whole world will be cheering on Germany in the semi.
A Germany v Holland final in South America would please me.

Looking back on it, the foul was clearly a straight red. Did he even get a booking? They should surely review it post match. I'm guessing that the ref and the linesmen from that match will be sent packing by FIFA.
Neither did Schumacher when he attacked Patrick Batiston.

Totally agree with what people are saying about the Neymar injury being a result of lax refereeing. Generally speaking there's been some atrocious decisions, one was last night when a Costa Rica player should have been given a second yellow on any remotely sane footballing planet.

It's already forgotten by most but Godin of Uruguay should have been sent off against England - he also scored the winner against Italy in a game he should even have been involved in.

The refs have ruined the fairness of the game, where players should clearly have been sent off, in favour of keeping eleven a side.

It's spoiled the tournament

Well, the ref didn't mind ruining the Italy v Uruguay game with his ridiculous bias red card for Italy, but no red card for Suarez's Mike Tyson style attack. In fact, the referee now got rewarded because he will be refereeing the Germany v Brazil semi-final. Expect some crazy decisions there.

Fifa ruled they can't intervene in the Neymar incident and Da Silva's card also stays.

As Tim Vickery mentioned, the FIFA directive seems to be to keep the yellows in the pocket to avoid players getting banned. The ref in the Brazil/Colombia game was such a poor ref, he was a contributing factor to Neymar getting injured.

Why cant they?

What possible rule can they have that stops them banning a player who assaulted another when on the pitch?

The rule that states FIFA must show a high level of incompetence at all times.

Brazil aren't going to win the World Cup and I'm not saying that just because of the fact that they lost Neymar, but because of their last performance as a team. The statistics speak for themselves, also the two tight goals that they scored were from set pieces which should worry the Brazilian fans..

It's all explained here... http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=...h-2401371.html

The rule that states FIFA must show a high level of incompetence at all times.
But this explanation makes more sense
