However, it has been emphasized, that after reviewing the matter (after the pleadings of CBF) a punishment cannot be imposed retroactively, for a phase brought to the attention by referees of the match.

Besides, FIFA has rejected the request by Brazilian federation for withdrawal of the yellow card of Thiago Silva, so the Scolari team will definitively be deprived of him in the semifinal with Germany.
