FIFA will not take action against the Colombia player who injured Neymar and ended the Brazil star's World Cup. FIFA said its disciplinary panel ''cannot consider this matter'' under the rules because the match referee saw the challenge by Camilo Zuniga and judged it at the time. ''In this specific case, no retrospective action can be taken,'' FIFA said in a statement on Monday, because the incident ''did not escape the match officials' attention.'' In a separate decision, the panel also refused to consider a Confederation of Brazilian Football appeal against captain Thiago Silva's yellow card in the 2-1 win quarterfinals over Colombia on Friday in Fortaleza.
