BERLIN, June 20: Australia forward Harry Kewell has been cleared by FIFA to play in their final Group F World Cup match against Croatia on Thursday after he was reported for confronting the referee after their 2-0 defeat by Brazil.

Kewell, who came on as a sub in the loss to the world champions on Sunday, was seen waving his finger at German referee Markus Merk after the final whistle. The Australians said they felt too many decisions had gone against them.

Australia, playing in their second World Cup finals, need a victory to be sure of progressing.
