FIFAWC Update: Brazil Contest Thiago Booking

The Selecao captain was cautioned in the 64th minute at Estadio Castelao after he impeded Los Cafeteros goalkeeper from taking a kick.

Thiago had previously been booked in the group match against Mexico, meaning he is set to sit out the semi-final clash with Germany due to suspension.


However, the Brazilian football federation (CBF) have decided to contest the referee's ruling ahead of the crunch encounter against Joachim Low's side on Tuesday.

FIFA head of media Delia Fischer said: "I can confirm we have received an appeal from the CBF and this is being analysed."
