FIFA World Cup: 10 records that might never be broken

#1 Most cautions for a player in a single World Cup match

It took three yellow cards to send off Josip Simunic

Croatia's Josip Simunic holds the record for the most cautions for a player in a single World Cup match. The referee Graham Poll showed him the yellow card three times (61', 90', 93') before sending him off in the 2006 World Cup match against Australia.

The original match report listed all the three yellow cards, before revising it to two, and omitting the 90th-minute yellow card. It is unknown whether this was for maintaining regularity in the reports, or if the caution was retrospectively reversed.

Nonetheless, the onus is on Poll for having Simunic hold this dubious record. When will this record be broken? Never.

With advancements in technology, the video official or fourth official would immediately point it to the on-ground referee if such scenario arises. It looks like Simunic will have to live with this record for eternity.
