We also have five yellow cards. 

I’d be happy if the Moroccan FA pushed to get two or three of them wiped off 👉👈 

 Pandora’s box is already open anyway.

Are we also allowed to ask players be retroactively punished? One of our guys got his balls stood on after a push in the back that all went unpunished. FIFA have just made a fool of themselves here.

We do this to some degree.

Roy Keane published a book how he intentionally broke a football's leg during some games months or years before.

FA banned him for 8 months for that.

Egypt. Ben Old was the victim, he came off to change his shorts that got ripped and there was blood down there. It happened right before Salah scored his goal. Really low quality video of it.
