2 of them got red cards and so will miss the next match
Ronaldo was injured - but I think he may be back against England
Figo headbutted someone - he got a yellow card (and therefore can't be done
for the same crime again) but I have a feeling the yellow card may not have
been for the headbutt because the referee was not facing in that direction -
probably just for complaining too much - in that case FIFA could also ban
him

Finally some of the other players have yellow cards so they will have to be
extra careful against England.

(Just read the news, Ronaldo is hopeful of a comeback and Figo will be
allowed to play against England - plus they are trying to dispute one of the
red cards!)
