FIFA have handed Mexico captain Rafael Marquez a
four-match ban for his sending off during his side's World Cup second round
clash against the United States.
Defender Marquez, who also receives an 8000 CHF fine (£3500), was shown a
straight red card for a flying headbutt on Cobi Jones in the United States' 2-0
win.
FIFA's disciplinary committee have also punished Paraguay's Roberto Acuna for
his dismissal in their second round match against Germany, suspending the
midfielder for two games and fining him 5000 CHF (£2200).
The bans will have to be served in competitive matches at continental level.
