In a normal football season five yellow cards result in a one-game ban, but the margin for error is incredibly fine for players taking part in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The tournament is well underway now as come to the final group matches and managers will be making their final selections of who they think can guide them to international glory.
The margin for picking up a suspension is so little and players will be aware of it throughout the tournament.
And just like World Cups that have gone before the first winter tournament of its kind, FIFA have specific rules regarding bookings, and when they are reset at the tournament.
When do yellow cards reset at the World Cup?
Unlike in other years, players will not miss the World Cup final if they have been booked previously.
However, if a player were to pick up a red card, they would still be suspended.
Up until the quarter-final, players who receive a yellow card in two different games, will then miss their next fixture.
A player's record after the quarter final will then be reset, meaning only a red card could prevent them from missing the final.
However, the rules haven't always been this way. During England's penalty shootout defeat to West Germany during Italia 90', Paul Gascoigne famously broke down in tears after picking up a yellow card, forcing him to miss the final had England progressed.
