The Ref Stop

Mex v Eng

According to AI

Average cautions are 2.74 per game lowest since 1974 and that's across more games.

Direct red cards have apparently tripled.

Compared to previous tournaments (Russia -2 and Qatar -3 ) the difference in volume games would expect to have seen 4-5 double yellows it the stats followed a similar pattern.

I think it's easy to draw stats comparisons but I can't think of any missed 2nd yellows (discounting then relatively unpunished dissent across the tournament).

Very valid point with last para - me neither (other than unpunished dissent).
