RIO2016: FIFA Cancels Mikel's Yellow Card And Two Others Against Denmark by Nobody: 12:03pm On Aug 17, 2016
Three Nigerian players have been given the all clear by FIFA ahead of Nigeria’s semi final game against Germany, after it was confirmed that the cautioned they picked up against Denmark has been wiped out.

The trio of Muenfuh Sincere, Usman Muhammed and team captain Mikel Obi had their caution wiped out, hence will approach the tie against Germany without any fear of a possible booking that will see them miss the final if they beat the Germans.

FIFA amended it’s tournaments rules few years ago, canceling single yellow cards picked up during quarter final games to stem the tide of key players missing final games due to accumulated bookings.

Going by the rules, only the deputy captain of the Nigerian team Azubuike Okechukwu is suspended for Wednesday semi final clash against Germany, as the booking he picked up against Denmark was his second of the tournament.

My wife who knows not much about football complained about 2 of those yellow cards issued, especially Mikel's.

Wetin Mikel do sef cos I longed to see the replay, but not shown.

That ref was biased.

All in all, our heart of gratitude goes to FIFA.

Good one. The cancellation of the yellow card already earned will make them play freely by not limiting their performance.

Wishing the Dream Team VI victory tonight.
