> [@amanset](#): > > Chilean out of the next match. Does this mean they’re not doing the ‘wipe previous warnings after the group stage’? Or is that after this game? The yellow cards are wiped after the quarter-finals, so you have to play the first five games of the tournament (group round; round of 16; quarter-final) without picking up two yellows. The reason for this change was to ensure that no-one could miss the final by getting a yellow in the semi-final, as happened to Michael Ballack in 2002. Edit: Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool Chile! ---

> [@amanset](#): > > Chilean out of the next match. Does this mean they’re not doing the ‘wipe previous warnings after the group stage’? Or is that after this game? I thought that’s how they did it (wipe all yellows after the group stage), but apparently not. ETA: And four people respond while I’m writing this. ---

Goal Chile. Crappy goals at both ends. I didn’t know Neymar was one of those dramatic guys. ---

Howard Webb needs to start awarding cards more often. Brazils defence? not WC winning standard. ---

Cheers to everyone for the booking explanations. Chile’s defence is almost comically bad. ---

> [@Fuzzy\_wuzzy](#): > > I prefer Webb’s more lax attitude to yellow cards. A few of the last world cups have been almost ruined by card happy referees. The problem is that if you don’t give yellow cards when they’re warranted, you encourage players to believe that they can continue to get away with fouls, which slows the game down and ruins it at least as much as the occasional yellow card. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > No, they were definitely talking about the game itself. One guy was complaining about the distinction between direct and indirect free kicks, but as far as I can remember nobody has been awarded an IDF in this World Cup There have been dozens of ifks. Every offside call is restarted with an ifk. ---

So, was it a hand ball? He definitely used his very upper arm to bring down the ball, but I admit I’m fuzzy on the rule book definition. ---

Yea, I don’t see the use of hand. Upper shoulder/chest yes. And another one gets carded and sits out next match, this time for Brazil. ---

Clearly a handball. Hit his upper arm. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brasil-2014/687840.md?page=96) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brasil-2014/687840.md?page=98)
