Frings suspended from tomorrow’s semi-final
3rd July 2006
Germany will have to do without influential Torsten Frings in tomorrow’s semi-final against Italy in Dortmund. FIFA suspended Frings for one match for “violent conduct” for his part in the mass brawl which started after Germany’s penalty shoot out win over Argentina. Frings was caught on camera directing a couple of “punches” at Julio Cruz.
If the following is deemed violent conduct, Maxi Rodriguez and Leandro Cufre should probably expect jail sentences for launching a flying punch at Schweinsteiger and karate kicking Mertesacker respectively..
