在葡萄牙與荷蘭比賽中累計兩張黃牌而被紅牌罰下的德科已經確定不會在下場對英格蘭的比賽中上場。FIFA已經明確表示不會接受葡萄牙方面有關撤銷紅牌的申訴。同樣將無法在該場上場的還有科斯蒂尼亞。
原文：Deco misses England after FIFA snub
Portugal will definitely be without midfielder Deco when they face England in the World Cup quarter-final on Saturday after FIFA told them to not to bother appealing against the red card he received against Holland.
Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said yesterday he had not given up hope of having the suspended Barcelona star in his side for the clash in Gelsenkirchen.
He urged the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) to appeal over Deco's first yellow card, awarded for a lunge at Holland defender Johnny Heitinga.
FIFA communications director Markus Siegler today confirmed there had been contact from the FPF but no official appeal had been received.
'There was a phone call and they were clearly told `forget it',' he said.
Fellow midfielder Costinha was also sent off following two bookable offences and will also miss the England match, but Scolari accepted those decisions.
