FIFA to commemorate Alfredo Di Stefano with minute's silence in Sao Paulo

Di Stefano silence at Argentina-Netherlands

There will be a minute's silence at this evening's World Cup semi-final between Argentina and Netherlands to remember football great Alfredo Di Stefano.

The Argentine-born Real Madrid legend, widely considered one of the greatest ever players, died on Monday afternoon in the Spanish capital at the age of 88 after suffering a heart attack over the weekend.
