The Brazilian national team has appealed against Thiago Silva's yellow card received in the quarterfinal match against Colombia. Due to this penalty, the center-back will have to miss the semifinal against the German national team.
The chances of the disqualification being overturned are minimal, as appeals for yellow cards are usually rejected, unlike for red cards.
If FIFA decides to overturn T. Silva's penalty, it may receive a lot of conflicting opinions and criticism for helping the tournament hosts.
In addition to T. Silva, forward Neymar will also be unavailable for Tuesday's semifinal match, as he suffered a fractured vertebra in the match against Colombia.
