The World Cup needs new card colors. YELLOW and RED are fine, just too limiting. We need BLACK AND BLUE for real foul-induced injuries (there won't be many of those). We need GREEN for overhyped underperformers (the US would collect one). We need ORANGE for potential injury. The stretchers come out if a guy trips over his own feet or gets the most minimal foul, and thirty seconds later the guy sprints down the field like Secretariat. If the guy returns in less than 5 minutes, then HE gets the YELLOW card.
A really terrible play, defensively, including own-goal gets awarded the dreaded BROWN card. Irrelevant whining would get a PINK card. I'm sure that the Armchair GM crew can generate some more.
More than anything else though, would be more officials who don't feel compelled to become the story instead of officiating the games.
