Tournament yellow card rules: According to the official regulations for the expanded World Cup, players who receive two yellow cards before the quarter-finals face an automatic one-match ban.
These cautions were wiped after the group stage and will be wiped again after the quarter-finals to protect players for the final.
The list of seventeen: Across the entire tournament, a total of 17 international players are walking a disciplinary tightrope heading into the last-eight ties.
Any of these players who pick up a booking in the next round will be completely ruled out of participating in the semi-finals should their nation progress.
