What Chile did in 1989 World Cup qualifying? It was shocking
Video evidence later showed that Rojas had not been hit by the firework. His head injury was discovered to have been self-inflicted with a razor blade hidden in his glove. FIFA awarded Brazil a 2-0 win, effectively eliminating Chile from the 1990 World Cup. As a consequence, Chile was banned from the 1994 FIFA World Cup and Rojas was banned for life, along with the coach Orlando Aravena and the team doctor Daniel Rodriguez.[1]
A Chilean inquiry found that Aravena had ordered Rojas and Rodriguez by walkie-talkie to remain on the ground and that Rojas was to leave the field on a stretcher.[1] The team's co-captain, Fernando Astengo, was banned from football for the next five years for deciding to remove the team from the field.[1]
In 2001, following a request for a pardon, Rojas' ban was lifted by FIFA.[1]

The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated," said Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
Luis Suarez banned for 4 months for biting opponent at World Cup
Luis Suarez banned for 4 months for biting opponent at World Cup
RIO DE JANEIRO -- FIFA banned Uruguay striker Luis Suarez from all football activities for four months on Thursday for biting an opponent at the World Cup, a punishment that rules him out of the rest of the tournament and the start of the upcoming Premier League season.
The ban also covers Uruguay's next nine international games, which goes beyond the next four months and rules him out of next year's Copa America. It will likely carry over to qualifying matches for the 2018 World Cup.
FIFA also fined the Liverpool striker 100,000 Swiss francs ($112,000).
Uruguay's football federation said it plans an appeal to FIFA before the team's round-of-16 game against Colombia on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro.
Suarez bit the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 win in the group stage on Tuesday, but escaped unpunished as the referee did not see the incident. A replay of the bite can be seen starting at about the 1:10 mark of the video below:
World Cup: Uruguay striker Luis Suarez banned for four months
(CNN) -- Luis Suarez will have plenty of time to ponder his tendency to bite opposition players after the Uruguayan striker was banned for nine international matches and suspended for four months from any football activity by FIFA.
The Liverpool striker, who has bitten players three times in his career - the latest incident coming in a key World Cup game -- is also set to miss a large chunk of the English Premier season as he is "banned from any football related activity" by football's world governing body.
The punishment is the most severe ever handed out at a World Cup for an offense committed on the field of play but the striker does have the right to appeal and is allowed to transfer clubs during the four month period.

SILVER SPRING, MD (WJLA/CNN) — A Maryland liquor store owner says a would-be robber went too far when he threatened to kill her young son.
So she went after him with a fire extinguisher!
Surveillance video caught the take down.
Dressed to match the night sky, police say 20-year-old Michael Kemp walked through the front door on a mission.
Hidden along isle two, Kemp began to pace and then yanked out a long barrel revolver from his shopping bag.
“He said, 'bring money, bring money,'" liquor store owner Tigist Atreso told CNN affiliate WJLA-TV. Atreso was in the stock room when Kemp started shouting.
With his gun drawn, Kemp allegedly led the mother of three to the front register, shouting orders along the way.
"And he said, 'bring more money, bring more money,'” Atreso explained, but she told him, “I don't have it."
Down to the very last dime and it still wasn't enough.
Kemp returned to the stock room where Atreso's young son was screaming.
"He say 'I kill your son. He come to my store, inside my store, and he tried to kill him," Atreso told WJLA-TV.
Like a mama bear, Atreso grabbed a bright red fire extinguisher and ran after Kemp and clocked him in the head.
Her son, on the bottom left-hand side of the screen, trotted away just in time.
"I kept him like this...somebody help him,"
Atreso suffered a minor bite to her finger.
Paramedics, however, had to cart off Kemp to the hospital.
"He need money, I give him money. He has to go back outside, right? But he come inside to kill my son. No, that's not fair. This is a bad person," Atreso said.
Kemp faces seven felony counts of armed robbery and assault.

Ghana Soccer Stars Await $3 Million Plane Before Key Match
Asamoah Gyan of Ghana celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Group G match against Germany at Castelao on June 21, 2014 in Fortaleza, Brazil.
Ghana’s Black Stars soccer team were awaiting the arrival of a plane with $3 million promised by the government as compensation for playing in the World Cup in Brazil, in the run-up to a match that may send them home.
The team is focused on the game against Portugal tomorrow, which they must win in order to have a chance to qualify for the tournament’s knockout stages, coach James Kwesi Appiah told reporters in Brasilia. Appiah said he hoped the money issue would be resolved within a few hours. Sannie Daara, spokesman for the Ghana Football Association, couldn’t immediately be reached to confirm whether the plane had landed.
“This is a situation that had to be sorted out before the competition,” Appiah said. “It’s hard to have this situation and having to tell the players each day that the money will come. But our players are dedicated and they are focused only on the game tomorrow against Portugal.”

Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama contacted the team and the arrangements for payment were made afterward, the association said in a statement on its website earlier today. The players requested the money in cash because many of them don’t have bank accounts in Ghana, Appiah said.
President Intervenes
Ghana’s team, which includes Sulley Muntari of AC Milan and Kevin-Prince Boateng of FC Schalke, has played two matches so far in the tournament, losing 2-1 to the U.S. and drawing 2-2 with Germany. They play their final first-round match against Portugal tomorrow and need to win to have any chance of progressing. The Black Stars were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Uruguay in the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
“President Mahama waded into the matter after agitation from the Black Stars players,” the association said. “President Mahama personally spoke to the players to assure them the money will be paid by Wednesday afternoon.”
FIFA worked with the Ghanaian association and the players to resolve the situation, Delia Fischer, a spokeswoman, told reporters in Rio de Janeiro today. Soccer’s governing body doesn’t like to see this kind of problem, which has happened in past tournaments, she said. She declined to say more and referred questions to the Ghanaian team.
Fixing Allegation
The football association may find it hard to move such a large amount of money into Brazil suddenly if it doesn’t have the necessary clearance from customs or import permits from a central bank, said Ion De Vleeschauwer, chief dealer at Bidvest Bank in Johannesburg. Bidvest is the biggest chain of money changers in South Africa.
“At the drop of a hat, to bring in $3 million in cash, it might get you into a spot of bother,” he said. “I don’t think the Brazilians will confiscate it but they just may not allow it to be released.”
The money would need to be declared to Brazil’s tax authorities, though it wouldn’t be subject to any duties on arrival in the country if correctly reported, the tax collection agency said in an e-mailed response to questions.
It’s not the first off-field problem to disrupt Ghana’s World Cup. The football association has asked police to investigate claims reported by the London-based Daily Telegraph that the association’s president, Kwesi Nyantakyi, had agreed to fix future international exhibition matches. The association has denied the report.
Back at home, Mahama has taken steps to ensure that the broadcasts of Black Stars games aren’t disrupted by regular blackouts. The government has asked its aluminum smelter to cut power usage during the World Cup and will buy additional electricity from neighbor Ivory Coast to ensure that Black Stars games can be shown live.
