Messi was about to be banned from FIFA because of this mistake

Lionel Messi has survived the FIFA Disciplinary action.

It has been understood that Messi will not the semifinals clash against Croatia.

The Argentine skipper had disciplinary action ongoing for his criticism of the referee in the Netherlands game.

FIFA gave no timetable for verdicts, which have typically not been published before a team’s next game at this World Cup.

Lionel Messi found himself in deep waters after failing to control his temper.

Though FIFA is yet to officially declare its verdict on Messi, it is highly likely that the Argentine skipper will just walk away with a warning.
