    One thing is chasing and arguing, repeatedly grabbing his arm is something completely different.

    They should be thanking the ref for not sending De G in the first half.

    I really wish Refs were quicker in drawing cards when accosted by players. And grabbing a ref should be a strait red.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    It probably will get some aftermath, because grabbing a ref is rarely seen.

    I fully support a change where aggressively arguing gives yellows quicker, I think it's a stain on the sport, especially those scenarios you sometimes see where you have 15 players all balling up around the ref repeatedly throughout a game.

    Obviously you should be allowed some comment, but the constant arguing is gross.

    Also. Please add postgame(or VAR) punishments for clear dives so we can get rid of that shit :P

    it goes down the leagues as well. I've seen refs get beaten up at non league games. Was at a sutton united game and had to stop a player battering a ref in the car park (the ref was like 19 years old lol). Its fucking disgraceful. Not to mention parents at kids games with the refs as well.

    Not the revenge Ghana wanted, but I'm sure they'll take it.
    Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.

    Oh, it definitely gets problematic in lower leagues, and as you mentioned parents at kids games. The top leagues setting the example that a ref can be bullied and yelled at definitely plays somewhat into that, but can't blame it all on it. Might also be nice to have more media engagement and interviews with refs to make them seem more "human" and to create some kind of 'connection' with them. Currently 95% of ref discussion is "why is ref x so bad" which probably isn't healthy :P

    What yellow cards mean for the protesting Uruguay players, if they are out?
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    In this case I think it means they are officially noted, so this could have some further repercussions.

    The yellow card discussion was more of a general note. This could have financial or suspension for x amount of matches depending on what the ref reports and how firm FIFA wants to be.

    East Asia getting twice as many teams through to the knockout stages as North America is once again justification to reduce CONCACAF's allocation.

    Asia actually got 3. Australia plays with them.

    3 teams
    And not a single one of them were supposed to make it through. That's the great thing about the WC. Concacaf is fine.

    It's ok, consuming it also counts as removing.
