Lots of people are annoyed at the yellow card rule at Euro 2016

Match day suspensions. Never great. Heartbreaking. Tear jerking. Close your eyes and picture the other big Gazza moment. All from a yellow card suspension. Pick up two yellow cards at Euro 20016 and you are suspended for one game. Just two yellow cards in five matches and you could miss a semi final. What makes the rule worse is  unlike in the Champions League and other footballing tournaments, the slate is not wiped clean after the group stages. As a result, the yellow card rule is causing mass suspensions across the board as several players drop out of of the semi-final games thanks to their yellow cards. If you're a combative midfielder, or a defender that likes a tackle, missing one game of an now extended European Championship seems like an inevitability. Aaron Ramsey and Mats Hummels are just some of the stars who will miss the Euro 2016 semi finals, and the rule has come in for criticism from a lot of football fans. https://twitter.com/danielstorey85/status/749345428387266560 https://twitter.com/SNFaizalKhamisa/status/748977847277064193 https://twitter.com/TheeCoreyH/status/749344582673035268 https://twitter.com/Musker_LFC/status/749306334441574400 Some commented that the slate should be wiped clean for players after a certain stage, to better allow players to make the later stages of the tournament. https://twitter.com/fateiskind/status/748977788472946688 https://twitter.com/JPW_NBCSports/status/749328675510882304 Of course where there are some complaints, there are others complaining about the people complaining. https://twitter.com/JongsmaJongsma/status/749345121410383872
