[General]
Article 55, Paragraph 4 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code reads as follows:
"If any player, association or club official or spectator perpetrates any kind of discriminatory or contemptuous act as described by par. 1 and/or 2 of this article, three points will automatically be deducted from the team concerned, if identifiable, after the first offence. In the case of a second offence, six points will automatically be deducted, and for a further offence, the team will be relegated. In the case of matches without points, the team concerned, if identifiable, will be disqualified."
If we get footage of Marco Materazzi actually making a racist remark in the direction of Zidane, wouldn't that mean that Italy had to be disqualified from the WC.
Who wins in that case? France?
