Berlin - FIFA on Saturday imposed match bans on Argentine players Leandro Cufre and Maxi Rodriguez for their involvement in the brawl at the end of the quarter-final against Germany.
Cufre received a four-match suspension for kicking German defender Per Mertesacker and was also fined 10,000 Swiss francs (8,170 dollars).
Rodriguez was banned for two matches for striking German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and fined 5,000 Swiss francs.
Cufre and Rodriguez will serve their suspensions at the 2007 Copa Libertadores in Venezuela as Argentina have no competitive matches before then.
England's Wayne Rooney was given a two-match ban and fined 5,000 francs for stamping on an opponent during his country's quarter-final loss to Portugal.
The 20-year-old Manchester United striker will miss England's Euro 2008 qualifying matches against Andorra on September 2 and Macedonia on September 6 of this year.
German midfielder Torsten Frings was earlier suspended for one game by FIFA for his role in the June 30 melee, which erupted after Germany defeated Argentina on penalties to reach the semi-finals.
Frings was banned after Italian television pictures showed the 29- year-old Werder Bremen player striking Argentina's Julio Cruz in the face. He missed Germany's semi-final defeat to Italy as a result.
