world cup fifa 2006BERLIN: FIFA on Monday suspended German midfielder Torsten Frings for the World Cup semi-final against Italy on Tuesday.

Frings was barred after the FIFA Disciplinary Committee viewed TV pictures which show him hitting an Argentinian player in the face in an on-pitch fracas following Germany's win in a penalty shootout in the quarter-final.

FIFA said he was definitely suspended for the semi-final but can return for the final on Sunday should Germany qualify.

However any recurrence of bad behaviour in the next six months would see him banned for another match, a FIFA spokesman said.

"Frings is suspended for two matches, but one is a suspended punishment," the spokesman said.
