Group stage cautions: Declan Rice and Jarell Quansah were the only two England players to receive yellow cards during the initial group stage.
Rice was booked against Ghana, while Quansah was cautioned during the match against Panama.
First disciplinary wipe: For the expanded World Cup, FIFA introduced a rule in which all single yellow cards are erased after the group stage concludes.
This ensures teams enter the knockout phases with a fresh disciplinary slate.
Clean slate for duo: Because of this timely group-stage amnesty, both Rice and Quansah had their previous yellow cards officially wiped clean.
