RIO DE JANEIRO — FIFA says it has suspended Brazil's team spokesman from matchday duty for the rest of the World Cup after he clashed with a Chile player. Rodrigo Paiva shoved Chile substitute Mauricio Pinilla as the teams left the pitch at halftime of a second-round match. Paiva denied throwing punches during the incident in Belo Horizonte on June 28, and accused Chile's team of “deplorable conduct.” FIFA's disciplinary panel imposed a 4-match ban and fined Paiva 10,000 Swiss francs ($11,180). FIFA says Paiva already served the first part of the ban at Brazil's 2-1 win over Colombia Friday. The fourth sanction is deferred for a two-year probationary period. — AP
