How do the cards work?

Yellow means warning?

Red means exjected from the game?

England is sitting a player out since the beginning of the game because he had a yellow card. Do the cards carry over into other games?

I think you get kicked out for 2 yellows also. Red means you are gone... or two yellows. At least... I think... =)

yellow = caution
red = dismissal

in the first three group matches, if a player gets a yellow card in 2 of the 3 games he has to miss the next game as a suspension.

if a player gets two yellow cards (cautions) in one game, he gets an immediate red and sent off.

after the first group stages, the cards are cleared, so everyone starts fresh. unless you have picked up a suspension from the group stages which carries over.

if one of those england players on a card had been booked again today, they would have missed the next game.

Ok thankyou. It all makes sense now.

And if you're ejected, your team plays a man down, right? That's how the USA-Italy game was 10 vs 9, I think.

yes, for the entire game, not just a short space of time in a 'sin bin' like some other sports.

LOL Furby - memories of Gazza in the England v Germany game, 1990 in Italy!

In this situation, does your team have to play a man down in the next game, or is that particular player just benched?

it means he is unavailable for selection in the team or as a substitute.

you might find this link useful for the actual laws of the game: -

Thanks, I'll go over it when I've got some time. I played soccer for 8 years or so; I understand enough to watch and understand what's going on. It's the little things in the FIFA rules that I don't understand; for example, in our leagues if a player got a red card he was out but the coach could still send in a new 11th player to replace him... nobody ever played short-handed. You had to get two yellows in one game to get tossed, so they were essentially meaningless.

ed: the 2nd American goal in the USA - Italy game also confused me when it was recalled. In our leagues you had to touch the ball or another player to be offsides, not just be "part of the play." It was actually a tactic to have an offsides player screen the goalie so he couldn't see the shot coming. Maybe that was because the amateur refs just never called it if you didn't touch the ball, so you could get away with it.

Anyone know what time zone these are set in?

FIFA Sceduale

The actual rule is, you can have a player in an offside position when the goal is scored, as long as he is not interfering with play.

IIRC was it Donovan who was offside? he was standing right in front of the goalkeeper in an offside position, restricting his view, so he was interfering with play... maybe he has been playing in the same league as you

that is GMT + 1, Central European Time. So the Italy game is 10:00 am your time?
