Euro 08 Total Red Cards

Most bookmakers are setting 7 or 8 red cards as their bench mark leaving it up to punters to decide whether it will be under or over, or even exact if you wish to be precise.

As usual there will be something that refs have been told to clamp down on and before the tournament we are unlikely to find out what it is until a few games have been played and we can see for ourselves.

If it is dissent then the number of red cards could be particularly high this year but it is unlikely that this would be given a test drive in an international tournament where the language barrier is going to mean a lot of what is being said won’t be understood.

Euro 04 had 6 sendings off and if we presume that UEFA are not going to introduce any drastic clamp downs we could be looking at the same number again or even slightly less. Referees will be keen to avoid drawing attention to themselves after watching Graham Poll at the last World Cup and we could see a cautious approach.
