Yellow cards Euro2008

I was wondering why they dont remove the cards players got in the group, when the playoff starts. I see no point having them, since a wrong ref decision could make a important player miss an important game in the end, perhaps the final.

I say, remove the cards when the playoff starts!

What say you? (Aragon quote)

ohh, great, didnt know!
correct me if i am wrong:
they did delete the 1 yellow card a player recieved in the group stage...if the player recieved his 2nd yellow card in the 3rd game of group stage, he´ll be banned for Quarterfinals (eg Gattuso (ITA))
If u´ll get a yellow card in qarter and semi-finals ur not allowed to play the final, with only 1 card, np.
that is wrong...


all cards are registered and saved till the quarter finals.. i.e. bans for the semis for all players who received their 2nd yellow card of the tournament in the quarters. AND no bans for the final. (Only Redcard bans.)

This rule is stupid overall, especialy for such an event as Euro championship. The strongest is supposed to win, how do you know who is strongest if the team is not allowed to play with strongest lineup..and overall football is too random, referees decisions makes to much impact on it nowadays.
that is well wrong

Referee Michel even removes yellow cards during the match, np for him!
