Is the ref a bit trigger happy with the cards? I've only got to see the last bit of the match.

Do yellow cards add up like the Champions League?

2 yellows in 2 matches and you are out?

Must be 7 or 8 now. Sending of was 2 yellows, harsh.

Mint Sauce · 18-06-2010 02:05PM

this ref is ridiculous now, he'll be going home after this one

as far as i'm aware, but i think card count is reset back to zero when you reach the second round

ie, if your on one yellow and you get to the second round, your back to no cards, but if you get booked in your 3rd match in the first round and its your second of the tournament, you will miss the second round

This ref could prove very costly later on then. Ridiculous.

prinz · 18-06-2010 02:12PM

Had the potential to be a cracking match. Ref screwed that possibility. Clown :mad:

nocal · 18-06-2010 02:12PM

The cards in this World Cup are re-set after the quarter finals - so any player already on one yellow will not miss the final if they pick up a yellow in the semi-final. That's what they said on the BBC commentary earlier.

As an aside - I think this thread needs more off topic posts.

OutlawPete · 18-06-2010 02:18PM

Ref is nuts.

pearliefan · 18-06-2010 02:21PM

Aaaaaaaaaaaghh!!!! Stupid ref.

Stinicker · 18-06-2010 02:22PM

Lets hope this sets up Germany V England in the last 16, that would be sweet!

I'm wondering why this game was the first of the day and the next game in the group is not until tomorrow. The England game should be on now instead of the prime time slot.

SeaFields · 18-06-2010 02:34PM

who's in the 3pm game?

edit: doesnt matter - Slovenia vs. USA

Why exactly?

The England game is on at prime time because it will attract most interest and viewers.

dr.bollocko · 18-06-2010 02:38PM

Slovenia Vs. USA next.
ZZZzzz

Why change things just for the England game? Why not Italy, Brazil, Argentina?

Shur whats primetime? This tournament is worldwide.

nocal · 18-06-2010 02:44PM

The second round schedule is not strictly by group - South Africa game on Wednesday evening and it was Thursday evening before the France-Mexico game from the same group. You hardly expect FIFA to be logical???

K-9 · 18-06-2010 02:45PM

If Ghana win, that group gets interesting, with Serbia playing Australia in their last match.

Fizman · 18-06-2010 02:46PM

Well Englands final group game is on at 3pm next week on a working day so that does away with the theory that they are revolving the fixtures around evening viewing times to suit the UK.

It's the way it has always been done, for everyone, including Italy, Brazil etc.

They go by the host nation's time zone.

just had a quick think about it(so probably could be corrected), but i think the worst result would be usa 5-1slovenia...... as usa n england drew, england would like the US to lose as england could top the group if they go and beat algeria and slovenia. and if that happens england finish on 7points, slovenia 6, usa 4(if they beat algeria).

if england win their next two games, they should be fine.
