All the yellow cards in this Euro for mild every day fouls are kind of a problem. It feels like if you're going to be that aggressive about cautions, you need to change things to keep these games from escalating . Like maybe 3 yellows for a red or make a red a timed penalty like for 20 minutes or something.

Amazingly, all four of these yellows are fair for what the infraction was.

Just weird to see 4 harsh/clumsy challenges so early in the match.

Commentator in German TV mentioned Bellingham wildly gesticulating in frustration about 30 seconds earlier. Clearly related.

And I think he was talking shit to the ref after the yellow as well. He's clearly frustrated but it'd honestly be weird if it wasn't. That entire team is so disjointed.

I thought the yellow for that Slovak dude - Kucka - was harsh. I mean it's a nothing challenge and just because England are sort of in transition in their own half..doesn't mean it needs to be looked at as 'preventing an opportunity'.

Well Well Well . Lets see if the English can find their game now because now they have no other choice.
