SOC:Careless whisper: the aside that's cost Paraguay dear

Paraguay (Organization) Miguel Almiron World Cup Australia

Paraguay have rallied around suspended star Miguel Almiron as they count the cost of his brain snap ahead of a crunch World Cup clash with Australia.

But Almiron isn't getting any sympathy from Socceroo Jackson Irvine, who says players knew the consequences of covering their mouths during on-field confrontations.

Almiron will be suspended for Thursday night's (Friday AEST) game in Santa Clara after becoming the first player sent off at a World Cup for the offence.

In a first-half scuffle, Almiron put his right hand over his mouth while appearing to say something to Turkey's Mert Muldur, who immediately alerted the referee.

After a VAR review, Atlanta midfielder Almiron was sent off and his World Cup could be over depending on how dimly FIFA looks upon the incident.
