Talk:List of FIFA World Cup red cards

Oh ffs... Two people can't edit this at the same time. I give up. I been trying to edit this stuff since Sing got his red card but I can't seem to save anything and then I accidentally copied and pasted the wrog edit. You do it. I give up. I don't have time for this back and forth bs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janet1983 (talk • contribs) 23:14, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

In Australia vs the Netherlands match

Didn't Timmy Cahill get a red card In the match verging the Netherlands, since he was sent of the game. 110.20.130.141 (talk) 10:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

He only got a yellow card, and was substituted by Ben Halloran later in the match. So if he was send off, it was by his own coach, not by the referee. - FakirNL (talk) 15:07, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining that 110.20.130.141 (talk) 21:06, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

However, since he also got a yellow card in the first match against Chile, he missed the game versus Spain due to accumulation of yellow cards during the tournament, just like Robin van Persie missed the Chile match after getting a yellow card in both the Spain and Australia games. These suspensions are not listed here. - FakirNL (talk) 10:05, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

#100 Hakan Unsal

Is it worth mentioning in a note the circumstances of this dismissal? Unsal was shown a second yellow card after kicking the ball at Rivaldo, the ball struck Rivaldo on the thigh, but he went down holding his face. Despite the play acting by the Brazilian, in law, Unsal should have received a straight red card for Violent Conduct, not a yellow card.Statto74 (talk) 13:34, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

No, this page is a record of what happened, not what someone thinks should have happened. Tffff (talk) 19:06, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Irrespective of it being wrong in the Laws of the game? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Statto74 (talk • contribs) 13:38, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

#169 Oscar Duarte

I have correct the round as first round was listed on the table, but card was issued in a round of 16 game.Statto74 (talk) 13:34, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

VAR

@Hammersfan: Mentioning that a red card was originally a yellow and was upgraded with VAR makes it seem more important and interesting than it really is. This is the way VAR works, and in fact referees like to "play safe" by showing a yellow initially, knowing that VAR can always upgrade it should need be. That this was the first such instance at a World Cup could at most be included as a piece of trivia in the match report or somewhere in the VAR article itself, but not here. --Theurgist (talk) 03:53, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

The first instance of something happening is trivia? By that logic then everything is trivia, and lists like this should not exist. Hammersfan (talk) 19:19, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

The first instance of something as normal and trivial is trivia. No reason to draw attention to it with a footnote in the table. At the very most a sentence could be written about it in the "Statistics" section, like there's a sentence about the first usage of a physical red card, or like there's a sentence in the list of own goals of an own goal being the first World Cup goal of any kind awarded with goal-line technology – but I don't think that's necessary either. --Theurgist (talk) 00:52, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
