      If, over the course of the tournament, you accrue two yellows, or a red, you are suspended for the next game.

      Also, if you're tied in the standings on record, goal differential, and goals scored, the team with fewer yellows and reds moves on to the next round. Happened at the last world cup where two teams were evenly matched after the group stage and one team (can't remember who) got sent home on "fair play points"

      So they really do make a monumental difference in the tournament

        Should have made the statement, but I guess games are more important than your symbolic gesture. Interesting symbolism, really.

          I still think they should have done it. It would expose more visibly the evil of FIFA and be bad for their product if star players are not playing in the biggest sporting event on earth. Just wanted to clarify the consequences for any non-sporting hexbears

      I suppose the thing is that if you don't remove the armband after the initial yellow it will escalate to a red?
