Torsten Frings could be in danger of missing Tuesday evening's unmissable World Cup semi-final against Italy as Fifa is investigating his apparent prominence in a fracas with Julio Cruz on Friday evening. Then, Germany reached the last four by virtue of a penalties win over Argentina, after which video evidence appeared to indicate that the 29-year-old aimed a punch at the Argentine frontman. Fifa had announced on Sunday that it would take no action against the German players, but it has changed its stance.
