2014 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF-OFC play-off)

The following article outlines the disciplinary record for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which took place in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014. The main disciplinary action taken against players came in the form of red and yellow cards.Any player sanctioned with a red card was sent off from the pitch and could not be replaced, forcing his team to play a man fewer. Furthermore, the player was automatically banned from his country's next match, whether via a straight red or second yellow. After a straight red card, FIFA conducted a hearing and considered extending this ban beyond one match. If the ban extended beyond the end of the World Cup finals (i.e. if a player was sent off in the match in which his team was eliminated), it had to be served in the team's next competitive international match(es).Players also received a one match ban if they picked up a single yellow card in two different games from the beginning of the group stage until the end of the quarter-final matches, at which point single yellow cards were negated. However, such a ban did not carry over beyond the World Cup finals if the second yellow card was collected in his team's last match of the tournament. Previously, players received a one match ban if they picked up two yellow cards within the group stage or within the knockout stage. The carried yellow card rule was changed to give players a better chance to compete in the final in case their team advanced that far.

The CONCACAF qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup consisted of four rounds of competition, in which the 35 member nations competed for three automatic berths at the finals in Brazil.The United States, Costa Rica, and Honduras qualified. The fourth-place finisher, Mexico, played a two-game series against New Zealand, the first-placed team from Oceania and qualified to the Finals.

The group stage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup took place in Brazil from 12 June 2014 to 26 June 2014: each team played three matches. The group stage was notable for a scarcity of draws and a large number of goals. The first drawn (and goalless) match did not occur until the 13th match of the tournament, between Iran and Nigeria: a drought longer than any FIFA World Cup since 1930. The group stage produced a total of 136 goals, nine fewer than were scored during the entire 2010 tournament.

2014 FIFA World Cup qualification - UEFA Second Round

The group stage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup took place in Brazil from 12 June 2014 to 26 June 2014: each team played three matches. The group stage was notable for a scarcity of draws and a large number of goals. The first drawn (and goalless) match did not occur until the 13th match of the tournament, between Iran and Nigeria: a drought longer than any FIFA World Cup since 1930. The group stage produced a total of 136 goals, nine fewer than were scored during the entire 2010 tournament. This is the largest number of goals in the group stage since the 32-team system was implemented in 1998 and the largest average in a group stage since 1958.After the second set of games, six teams had already guaranteed their progress into the knockout stage: Netherlands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Argentina and Belgium. In contrast, teams eliminated early after two losses included defending champions Spain and 1966 champions England, who were eliminated at the group stage for the first time since 1958. The 2006 champions, Italy were also eliminated who scored only two goals, their lowest tally since 1966. Spain became the fourth nation to be eliminated in the first round while holding the World Cup crown, the first one being Brazil in 1966, the second France in 2002 and the third Italy in 2010.Eight of ten teams from the Americas (CONCACAF and CONMEBOL) advanced to the knockout stage, this being the first time CONCACAF had three teams among the last 16. Africa (CAF) got two teams in the knockout stage for the first time. By contrast, teams from Asia (AFC) put up their worst performance since 1990, all finishing at the bottom of their groups without winning any games. Only 6 of the 13 UEFA teams advanced to the knockout stage, the fewest under the present format (equalled in the 2010 World Cup).Costa Rica overcame and won a group of three former World Cup Champions to reach their first knockout stage since 1990. Germany won a group made up entirely of knockout stage participants in the 2010 World Cup. Greece and Algeria qualified for the knockout stage for the first time. Nigeria (44th) were the lowest-ranked team in FIFA rankings to advance, while Spain (1st) was the highest-ranked team to be eliminated.
