the greatest redcard of them all, will be 2019 when Nigerians will give the Fulani president red card... back to Daura

Caseless:
lahm isn't a natural defender. He's a right foot too, but was used as a left back. The idea of a "right back or left back" started with lahm. What we used to have was permanent 2 or 3 as defenders.

Ologogoro:


What matters most is that he played as a defender

princeade86:
my own is that what is d usefulness of VAR when Diego costa foul on pepe before his goal can stand even when protested.

Philip Lahm was a defender during his playing days and was never given a red card and here we have Balotelli a striker..

England have no luck. Chei!

Below, list of Yellow cards so far. No Reds.

Of course a second Yellow typically means a Red. Not sure if it's going to be immediate or after the match this time. There's been some occasional tweaking in every other FIFA tournaments over the years by the ogas at the top.

whiteTORTIISE:

Segio Ramos hold the world record for RED CARDS.

Red cards tend to be highly controversial, Yellows less so.

Let's discuss all the cards issued from June 14 to final match in this World Cup.

Also, some very controversial cards, and referee calls from previous World Cups are:

- All the cards issued in Netherlands-Portugal match in WC2006. Actually that entire match was indescribable. The referee lost his damn mind!

- The controversial call against Italy in the WC2010(Euro2008 - actually) Netherlands-Italy match where Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy scored a goal when they were all clustered at the Italy box. Remember goalkeeper Gianluco Buffon throwing out his own defender like yesterday's trash?

Just a taste off the top of my head. Lots more controversial calls will come to mind.

Please post the ones you recall or want to discuss and, most important. . .

Keep posting about current RED Cards, YELLOW Cards, REFEREE, LINESMEN, FIFA and other OFFICIATING matters.

I don't believe there has been a red card yet in the last 4 matches so far but there have been yellows. I will post a list shortly.


P.S. Edited for mis-remembering Euro2008 for WC2010.

kingDELE:
umtiti deserves a yellow card 4 dat hand ball that led to penalty

Bros, if you say the idea of a right back or left back started with Lahm, where did you put Cafu and Roberto Carlos of Brazil?

Lahm was a left footer who used to play as a right back then later became a left back. Shikena.

Saying that the idea of right or left back started with him is a disrespect to people like Carlos, Cafu, Ramos (who started his career as a right back), Puyol (he too used to be a right back before becoming a central defender), Lizarazu, Thuram, and even Babayaro plus a host of other players I can't remember right now.

All these players I mentioned were defenders and also threats going forward. Lahm was not the first; there were many before him.

Sezua:

Nope, in the new rules, yellows are served for penalties.

kingDELE:
u wrong man. a Nigerian player was given yellow card and a penalty was awarded
