In comparison to earlier World Cups, the tournament was notable for the number of yellow and red cards given out, breaking the record set by the 1990 World Cup. Players received a record-breaking 345 yellow cards and 28 red cards, with the round of 16 match between Portugal and the Netherlands accounting for 16 and 4, respectively, by itself. Portugal had two players suspended for each of the quarter-final and semi-final matches, respectively. FIFA President Sepp Blatter hinted that he may allow some rule changes for future tournaments so that earlier accumulated bookings will not force players to miss the final, should their teams make it that far.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter hinted that he may allow some rule changes for future tournaments so that earlier accumulated bookings will not force players to miss the final, should their teams make it that far. The tournament also saw English referee Graham Poll mistakenly hand out three yellow cards to one Croatian player in their match against Australia.
The high number of yellow and red cards shown also prompted discussion about the referees. FIFA Officials and President Sepp Blatter received criticism for allegedly making rules too rigid and taking discretion away from referees. [4]
