What is the propper rulings for the Yellow Card in the World Cup

Is it -
2 consectutive games?
2 cards in the first round??
or
2 in the World Cup ??

before you have a rest??

ok... this is what i have found within the rules for the world cup....

"Players that receive two yellow cards and subsequently a red card will be automatically suspended from his team's next match.

Two yellow cards received in two different matches will result in an automatic suspension from his team's next match.

A player that receives a straight red card will automatically incur a suspension from his team's next match, although the tournament's Disciplinary Committee may extend the duration of the suspension."

There is no mention of a cut off point at which all yellow cards are effectively cancelled and players start fresh... though i believe that in the past this has been done.

Thanks

was that from a site some where??

Tried googleing but couldnt find anything

From what I have read (and I am not a soccer tragic - more a general sports tragic ) the yellow cards collected in the first round pool matchs will be wiped for the next round.
So if Cahill etc can avoid a yellow in the match against Brazil, they can play in the game against Croatia... but... if any of them get a second one against Brazil, they are out for the final (and most crucial) game against Croatia.

and...if they get their final card during a game they don't get a substitute....ie they play a man down....right?
