    Not for that. The guy ran into him, and he raised his arm in self defense. There are a lot worse that aren't even called fouls (see: the 3rd goal the Americans scored against Slovenia).

    If Kaka's offense was worthy of a yellow, then two or three Slovenians should have been sent off on that one play alone. Not to mention those dirty Kiwis, ruthlessly attacking the poor, defenseless Italians.

      if you're playing with a caution in the game, you should go out of your way to not draw the attention of the officials. Kaka got what he deserved.

        This was my exact thought - if Kaka's play was the standard for yellow cards, the US should have been able to score about 10 goals against the 5 Slovenians left on the pitch by the end of the game...
        If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

          He didn't just hold his arm out, he jabbed him in the chest with his elbow. The holding the face and writhing on the ground bit was over the top though.

          Kaka deserved what he got. Whether other people should have also gotten penalized is open for debate, but Kaka deserved a yellow for that. The whole concept of giving a yellow is to warn players to knock it off. Not start smacking each other away from the play...

            If that's your definition of 'smacking'...

                Do cards get wiped out to 0 at the start of the next round?

                      No clue. I was always under the assumption that it was two yellow cards in the tournament not just consecutive games and they stayed with you throughout the tournament.

                        They traditionally get wiped out after the group stages. Unless you accrue a suspension in that third game.

                          Yeah they're wiped after the group stage. Unless you get your second yellow in the third match, and you can play in the first knockout round.

                            They get wiped out after the quarterfinals this time around. That means that unless you draw straight red in a semi-final, you'd be able to play in the final should your team advance.

                              So what's the consecutive game business I keep hearing about?

                                As I understand it, you get 2 yellow cards in the groups, you miss the next match (either the 3rd group stage match or the Round of 16 one). After the groups, the cards are wiped clean. If you get get 2 yellows between the Round of 16 and the quarters, then you miss the semis. They've changed it this year so that yellows in the semis can't force you to miss the final.
