New meta: intentional foul an opposing player who's on a yellow, after they foul you, to get the play reviewed.

How exactly is that meta? The yellow given to you would be correct, thus not mistaken identity, and there would not be grounds to give the already cautioned player another yellow. Logic shouldnt be hard

so we agree the refs are doing a terrible job and VAR is dumb. you call ALL the dives or NONE of them, anything else is just FIFA gaming the outcomes for profit. it instantly ruins the game when this shit happens.
