With the World Cup knockout stage approaching, as the final round of the group stage begins this Wednesday (24), the question that remains is: are yellow cards reset during the competition?
And the answer is sim. Unlike usual, in the current edition of the World Cup, the cards will be reset in two stages: after the group stage and after the quarter-finals of the competition.
However, whoever receives the second yellow card in the last round of the group stage will be absent in the group stage.
Hangings from Brazil
For the match in the third round of Group C of the World Cup, Brazil has three players hanging: Ibañez, Casemiro e Douglas Santos. If they receive a yellow card, they will miss Canarinho in the second phase of the World Cup.
Ibañez and Casemiro were cautioned in their debut against Morocco, while Douglas Santos received a yellow card in the victory over Haiti, last Friday (19).
