Paraguay's Miguel Almirón made history at the World Cup, but not in the way he would have hoped. He received a red card for a rarely enforced 'covering mouth' rule, which has left fans and pundits debating its fairness. This decision means Almirón will miss Paraguay's crucial last Group D match against Australia, a significant blow to his team's chances of advancing. The incident has drawn attention to FIFA's rulebook, with calls for clearer guidelines on such penalties. Australia's Jackson Irvine expressed no sympathy, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the rules.
