FIFA bans four Uruguay players for World Cup chaos

Uruguay’s Fernando Muslera and Jose Maria Gimenez were hit with four-match bans by FIFA.

While Diego Godin and Edinson Cavani were suspended for a game each after they confronted the referee following their World Cup match against Ghana.

FIFA launched proceedings against the players who angrily harangued the referee after crashing out of the tournament in Qatar, in spite of beating Ghana 2-0 in their final group match on Dec. 2.

The players will also have to carry out football-related community service, and will pay fines of up to 20,000 Swiss francs ($21,701).
