Yes, 2YC=RC, so Croatia would play with 10 players (or even less, considering the high number of fouls) if the ref did it. The denied goal was clearly a foul on Julio César, not even the Croatians complained. The only mistake against Croatia was the PK.

I don't think it was a sending off either. A yellow card was sufficient. I do not think KAka should have been sent off either and neither did any of the pundits at the time for what it's worth.

The penalty was no penalty.

That was not even a foul, much less a YC.

Croatia made 21 fouls against Brazil 5. Truth be told, there is one or two YC Croatia dodged there.

Eh? Totally different situation considering Kakas elbow was at his side, not in line with the other players head.

Elbow is in Modric's neck. He looked to see where Modric was before he did it too...

Bloody diving again completely changing a game. Anyone that dives should get an immediate 3 match ban. That would put a stop to diving.

Brazil were the better team mind, but the Croatian goalkeeper had a shocker with the last 2 goals.

Here, I found better pictures -

Looking directly at Modric

Elbow directly to Modric's neck/chin.

Should have been off.

And most of these Croatian fouls were violent, yet both teams got 2 YC. People talk about the PK but forget that a red card (2 yellow cards for the same player, there were no red card fouls in the game IMO) for a Croatian player would make the game way easier.

It was a definite foul and at the very least a yellow card. The intent was as clear as day (which according to the strictest adherence to the rules is a red card) and players have been sent off for less. I think it helped that his elbow was the wimpiest elbow I've ever seen.

I don't remember many violent tackles. Strong maybe, but violent?

I agree. Soccer is taking ages to improve and enforce their rules with technology.

This chip inside the ball should have been added almost a decade ago.
