No they can't, and it would be incredibly serious.
FIFA's regulations are here[pdf], but to quote some appropriate sections.
Any match which is not played or which is abandoned - except in cases of force majeure recognised by the FIFA Organising Committee - may lead to the imposition of sanctions against the relevant associations by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee in accordance with the FIFA Disciplinary Code. In such cases, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may also order that the match be replayed.
.
Any association that withdraws or whose behaviour is liable for a match not being played or being abandoned may be ordered by the FIFA Organising Committee to reimburse FIFA, the Organising Association or any other participating member association for any expenses incurred as a result of its behaviour.
In such cases, the association concerned may also be ordered by the FIFA Organising Committee to pay compensation for any damages incurred by FIFA, the Organising Association or any other participating member association.
The association in question will also forfeit any claim to fi nancial remuneration from FIFA.
