Yellow Cards
Any player receiving two cumulative yellow cards during the three group stage matches or during the knockout stage matches is suspended for the next match. A single yellow card does not carry over from the group stage to the knockout stages. Should the player pick up his second yellow during the team's final group match he will miss the Round of 16 if his team qualified for it. However, suspensions due to yellow cards do not carry beyond the World Cup finals.

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or cards:
“But the yellow antipodal Kangaroo, when she sits up,
Who can useat her, like a liquid drop that is heavy, and just
touches earth.”

“The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn’t order any credit cards! We don’t spend what we don’t have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?”
—Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)
