Carry on the cautions (Yellow card)
The cautions are accumulate for a certain phase of a the world cup tournament.
Rules:
# A yellow card is carry over, and 2 yellow cards equal a red and a 1 game suspension.
# A yellow card is carry on during the first and second phase of the tournament (first round and round of 16).
# For the quaterfinals is a clean start for all the players, except for a red card.
# Begining the quaterfinals the yellow cards are carry on, until the end of the tournament. And at the end of the tournament all the yellows cards are reset, except:
* If a player gets a second yellow card, in the final game in which his team participated, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays (he has to be
in the team roster).
* If a player gets a red card, in the final game in which his team participated, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays (he has to be in the team roster).
