Is FIFA Ignoring the Tancredi Head Stomp?

    I was surprised to see Tancredi playing in the Bronze Medal match today. It seems like whenever a player has been disciplined in the past for violent conduct not noticed in the game, that it's been before his or her team plays their next match. Given that that did not happen in this instance, is it fair to assume that FIFA is not going to sanction Tancredi for her head stomp? Why would she not be sanctioned for such obvious violent conduct?
