FIFA's new "Vinicius Law" just claimed its first World Cup victim
This rule was born from the Champions League incident between Vinicius Jr and Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni earlier this season stating that any player who covers their mouth with a hand, arm or shirt during a confrontation now gets an automatic red card โฆ๏ธ
Friday night, Paraguay's Miguel Almiron became the first player in World Cup history sent off for it after exchanging words with Turkey's Mert Mulder following a foul, covering his mouth, and got booked which led to him getting walked straight down the tunnel in first-half stoppage time
Here's the crazy part, Paraguay went down to 10 men and STILL won 1-0. Turkey dominated possession 81-19% in the second half and couldn't find a single breakthrough
The result eliminated Turkey from the World Cup entirely as they got no points, no goals, after playing two games
The new rules are already shaping this tournament ๐
Tracking Paraguay's next game odds on @TelbetPromos as they'll need to cope without Almiron in their next fixture

The market likes Musiala to score vs Ivory Coast: 70% YES.

@TelbetPromos This is what football can bring about, uniting a nation, making politician showcase their interests in world football by supporting their home country

WORLD CUP INFLUENCE >>>
Nearly 500,000 people celebrated on the streets of Mexico City yesterday after Mexicoโs win over South Korea and qualification to the World Cup Round of 32 ๐ฒ๐ฝ
THAT IS MORE THAN THE ATTENDANCE OF FANS IN FIVE FULL-CAPACITY STADIUMS ๐คฏ
@TelbetPromos I thought only South Africa Vs Mexico game produced the only red card so far in the tournament
๐ฒ 6 red and there are still over 40 -60 games to be played
Only 28 matches played so far, and the 2026 World Cup has surpassed the RED CARD records of the last two tournaments ๐ฌ๐ฅ
The all-time red card record is 28, handed out at the 2006 tournament ๐ซ
