Nathan Njoy is the latest to be dropped
The 2026 World Cup is witnessing a very big jump in the level of violence, which was evident even though the tournament has only reached the second round of the group stage.
As “The Athletic” newspaper informs, the tournament on “X” has witnessed 8 red cards announced so far, the last of which was in the Belgium-Iran match, which ended in a goalless draw.
Nathan Najo was booked in the 67th minute after he prevented a lone Iranian player from completing his route to goal.
The newspaper clarified that this large number is equivalent to the number of expulsions recorded in the last two World Cup matches (Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022) combined.
As the World Cup continues, it looks like this edition is on its way to breaking all-time records for color cards and sending offs in World Cup history.
