Is England out of the Women’s World Cup?

Sadness in Sydney for England – as Spain turn disharmony into delirium – This isn’t how it was meant to end for England. Hope turned to heartbreak. There was to be no addition to the trophy cabinet for the European champions a year on from Wembley glory.

• Just sadness in Sydney.
• Spain is the new name etched on the trophy.
• At only their third women’s World Cup, they are champions.
• They’ve turned disharmony into delirium – a campaign that looked like it was going to be derailed by 15 players quitting international duty last September has ended with the biggest prize of them all.

Only three of the rebel group decided to return to the squad following protests against their treatment by the Spanish Federation. It is a reminder this World Cup has been surrounded by concerns about the status of players within national football associations.

Even the Lionesses head home from this tournament not only without the trophy, but into talks with the Football Association about the bonuses they believe they’re owed. They will see this as a missed opportunity as well to conquer the world for the first time, as all the former champions had been toppled before the semi-finals.

The Lionesses were the favourites, but ultimately Spain were supreme in the final. Sarina Wiegman’s side was reliant on Mary Earps producing several huge saves, including a penalty in the second half that could have seen Spain double their lead. Even taking that slender 1-0 deficit into the final 20 minutes, England couldn’t find a way to goal.

Now they’ll regroup. Many of these players will be trying to qualify through the Nations League for the Paris Olympics, where they’ll compete as part of a British team next year. Then there’s the defence of their Euros title in 2025 before they can set their sights on trying to finally win the World Cup in 2027.

Disappointment after undefeated run to final England were undefeated in the tournament before today’s game, but the journey to the final wasn’t without its challenges. Before the World Cup even began, captain Leah Williamson and striker Beth Mead were ruled out of playing in the tournament due to ACL injuries. The first two games saw the team secure 1-0 victories against Haiti and Denmark, followed by a whopping 6-1 win over China to finish top of Group D. But the Lionesses were quickly pushed to their limits when coming up against Nigeria. A red card handed to Lauren James – which was later followed by a two-game suspension – meant the team were down to 10 players in the last 16 match. The game went down to a nail-biting penalty shoot-out, before a 4-2 win saw them progress into the quarter-finals against Columbia.

1. After falling behind to a goal from Leicy Santos, goals from Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo booked them a slot in the semi-finals against co-hosts Australia.
2. A stunning 3-1 win against the Matildas secured the Lionesses’ spot in the final against Spain, which even without the win felt like a “fairytale” to Weigman, who also took the Netherlands to the final of the tournament in 2019.

Last time England faced Spain – in the 2022 Euro quarter-finals – they won 2-1.

How long is a red card ban in World Cup?

How many games do players miss for a red card at the World Cup? – In club competitions, a second bookable offence will see a one-game ban whilst a straight red card can see a player suspended for three to four games depending on the severity of the situation.

The World Cup will see little difference to these rules with a red card leading to a single game suspension, unless FIFA feel it necessary to add further sanctions. Coming into the tournament, any yellow cards from the preliminary group stages will be wiped from the record, meaning every player will begin on a clean slate.

However, any pending red card suspensions from the previous qualification stage will have to be served during the competition. Anyone who racks up two bookings in the run up from the group stage to the quarter-final will also be faced with a single game suspension, with the yellow card count resetting before the start of the semi-final,

• This rule is a relatively new one to the competition, with yellow cards being wiped after the group stage up until 2010.
• For any player who receives a red card in their last game of the competition like Wayne Rooney vs Portugal in 2006 or Zinedine Zidane’s headbutt vs Italy in the final of 2006, their suspensions will carry over into their next international game.

Zidane’s red card in the final of 2006 was his second in a World Cup match, a record he shares with Rigobert Song, the now manager of Cameroon.

How many games are you banned for a straight red card?

The Origins of Red and Yellow Cards – Red and yellow cards were the brainchild of Sir Kenneth George Aston, It is said that the invention was spurred on by brothers Jack and Bobby Charlton who had to talk to the FA find out whether they had been cautioned by the referee in recent games.

1. While Aston was sat in his car at a set of traffic lights, watching the change sequence, the red/yellow card idea was born.
2. It would signal a clear infraction and everyone, including the player, would be left in no doubt as to what has transpired.
3. But that is not the only thing for which Ken Aston is remembered.

He was also the referee of what many regard as the dirtiest ever game of football. The game that came to be known as the Battle of Santiago, It happened in the 1962 World Cup when Chile met Italy. It must have sown the seeds that later flowered into the invention of red and yellow cards which first came into use in the 1970 FIFA World Cup. In essence, a yellow card is given as a caution or warning. It provides players receiving them another chance to stay on the field for the remainder of the game, whereas a red card means that the player has to leave the pitch with immediate effect. Two yellow cards shown to the same player within the same game results in a red card being given and the player having to leave the field play at once.

Unsportman-like behaviourDissent by word or deedRepeated infringement of the rules Delaying the restart of playNot maintaining the correct distance from a corner or free-kick.Leaving or re-entering the field of play without the referee’s permission.

The current rules this season stipulate that any player accumulating a certain number of yellow cards will face disciplinary action in the form of match bans. It works on the following principles:

Five yellows accumulated before match week 19 results in a one-match ban.Ten yellows accumulated by week 32 will result in a two-match ban.Fifteen yellows by week 38 means a three-match ban.Twenty yellows in a season can result in the Regulatory Commission punishing the player in a manner that they deem to be most fitting.

Generally, the suspensions laid out above refer to league matches only, not tournaments. As we have already stated, a red card means instant dismissal. When it comes to the length of any suspension period, it is dependent on the nature and seriousness of the foul, as follows:

For a sending off, after a second yellow in one game, the suspension period is one match.For a so-called professional foul, a player will also receive a one-match ban.If the foul in question is dissent, it will normally be a two-match ban.If we are talking about violent conduct, the punishment is normally a three-match ban.

The above types of fouls, and the length of the bans that go with them, are only given in terms of guidance. Each foul must be reviewed on its own merits and circumstances, and the suspension award decided upon can be longer or shorter.

How long will James be suspended for

Lauren James receives two-match ban, will only return if England makes World Cup final star will serve a two-match ban for stomping on defender in the round of 16, according to a report from Sky Sports on Thursday. That means James will only play at this year’s Women’s World Cup again if England makes it to the final.

• Prior to FIFA’s decision, James’ teammate Beth England talked about how the team was dealing with James’ uncertain status.

We’re not defined by one player.” James has since apologized for her actions, and England said she has the locker room’s full support.

Obviously she’s disappointed with what happened on the day,” England said. “It was a split second, emotional moment that happened. We’ve got around her. It is good that she’s acknowledged that and put her apology out and now we just wait to see what FIFA do and we just move on from it now.” Reporting by The Associated Press.
