He actually did it with Ayew against Ghana which was a risk
And of course he is now carrying a stupid yellow
Needs to be careful now
Yellow cards will be wiped after the group stage and then again after the quarter-final stage.
This means that any player who picked up a yellow card in the group stage will not be suspended if they are booked again in the Round of 32.
However, if a player is shown a yellow card in both the Round of 32 and Round of 16 stages, they will be suspended for the team’s quarter-final game.
Similarly, if a player is booked in either the Round of 32 or Round of 16, and then again in the quarter-final, they will miss the semi-final through suspension.
But given the amnesty after the quarter-final stage, a yellow card in the semi-final will not rule a player out of the final.
This ensures that only a red card in the semi-final will rule a player out of featuring in a World Cup final – undoubtedly the biggest match of any player’s career.
