No official announcement yetÂ
However, FIFA has not yet officially announced its decision on Messi. But there is a high probability that the Argentine captain will be let off with just a warning. However, there is also a possibility that the superstar may also be banned for a few matches. If this happens then Messi’s dream of winning the World Cup will be shattered once again. So far, Messi has performed brilliantly in this global event.
FIFA decided to take action
Following heavy criticism of the Argentine team, FIFA decided to take disciplinary action against the Argentine Football Association and the players concerned. So there is a big risk that if Lionel Messi is found guilty, he could be ruled out of the semi-final against Croatia. Against Argentina, FIFA has opened its own investigation over the violation of Articles 12 and 16 which deal with the misconduct of players and officials and the order and security at matches.
