Posted June 26, 200619 yr from bbc.co.uk Luis Figo can play in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against England after Fifa ruled out further action for a headbutt on Holland's Mark van Bommel. The Portugal skipper was booked and, because referee Valentin Ivanov took action, Fifa will not intervene. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari also hopes that midfielder Deco will be available. He was sent off for two yellow cards in the 1-0 win but Scolari has urged the Portuguese Football Federation to appeal against the first booking.

Deco shoudl still stay banned and it will be a farce if they win the appeal. Figo's past it now anyways he should have reired after Euro 2004.
