Now that you have just started worldl, it is worth remembering one of the great novelties of this World Cup event. And this has to do with the maximum yellow card cycle each player can receive before a match is suspended.
As we move forward to World of sports in September, and included in the World Cup rules prepared by FIFA; this cycle will not be three as in competitions such as the UEFA Champions League or five as in the Spanish league competition. In this case, it is reduced to only two, as stated in point 4 of article 9 regarding yellow and red cards: “If a player or coach receives two warnings in two different games, he will be automatically suspended in the next that his team’s game.”
Six players may miss the third day
This means that there are already six players at risk of missing the third day of this group stage if they see a second yellow card on the second day of the group. Two in Ecuador and four more in the Qatari team.
In the first case, Caicedo and Méndez are running this risk, both of whom were reprimanded yesterday by Sunday Orsato. In Qatar’s case, goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb saw the yellow card; midfielder Karim Boudiaf and forwards Almoez Ali and Akram Afif.
Everything is clear in the semifinals
A cycle of cards that will cease to be valid for teams that advance to the semifinals. In other words, all players and coaches will be clean by the end of the quarterfinals. “Individual yellow cards in the final competition will be canceled after
quarterfinals.” Then the footballers who reach this tie will only miss the final if they see exactly two yellow cards in this semifinal duel or a direct red card. In this case, they are also exposed to disciplinary sanctions “If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card, you will automatically be suspended from your team’s next match. In addition, additional penalties may be imposed in the case of a direct red card.”
In addition, all penalties for red cards that footballers cannot fulfill in this World Cup, due to its elimination, have to be fulfilled in the next official match that their team has to play.
