Needless to say they're already down by 2, so its really got minimal impact.

Wow....what a goal by Maicon....3-0.
They are always alot more yellow and red cards in FIFA tournaments.
Last World Cup there were 28 red cards and 345 yellow cards in just 64 matches. There are usually more penalty shots too. The FIFA refs crack down on everything!

Personally I never liked the referrring standard in World Cups. Refs are too strict and they get conned all the time by players diving.
