That was my thought to in the 2nd half of the semis. Every challange for the ball instant yellow
yeah i remember that, such things are very unfortunate sometimes. for you it resulted in a red card (again, that 2nd yellow was just stupidity and frustration from your player, can't blame the ref for that) which allowed spain to play 11 vs 10 for more than half an hour - and it almost cost us as well: one of the major chances spain had was a longshot from ceballos, and you could clearly see that arnold was hesitant to challenge him prior to that out of fear for a 2nd yellow card.
sure, a yellow worthy foul deserves a booking, no matter how many bookings there were before, but handing out bookings for every single touch is rather questionable - especially considering the ref today was rather generous when it came to foul decisions in the 1st half...
