The exact language on why a yellow, “the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.” #VWFC #DOGSO
Because a PK was awarded, so long as the last defender makes a challenge to the ball it’s only a caution.

Best part of watching that Müller winner is watching it with my father-in-law. He’s been a big supporter of @from231.ca & is an avid fan of the beautiful game. The vibes are pretty strong here right now. #VWFC

What Actually Happened During the Canada Drone Scandal | By Jasmine Mander
I’m sorry for what happened. To the players, whose Olympic experience was sidetracked by this story. To the fans, who questioned their faith in the team.
