Interesting.

Quote:
FIFA have announced that single yellow cards received at this year's World Cup will only be cleared after the quarter-final stage of the competition.
The move is a change from previous years where players booked just once during the group games went into the knock-out stage - round of 16 - with a clean slate.


One of the reasons for the move is to help key players avoid missing the final if their team got there.
