FIFA have announced that single yellow cards received at this year’s World Cup will only be cleared after the quarter-final stage of the competition.

FIFA insist they have no information on reports that four North Korea players have gone missing.

BRAZIL coach Dunga urged journalists to stop “hitting and attacking” him as he prepares for his first World Cup finals match in the dugout against North Korea at Ellis Park tonight.

FIFA says it is not to blame for a stampede that occurred outside a stadium in Johannesburg yesterday where World Cup finalists Nigeria and North Korea were wrapping up their preparations for the competition as safety fears grew just days ahead of the start of the tournament.
