Football Trivia Question of the Day

The first player to be sent off at a World Cup was Peru's Mario de Las Casas against Romania in 1930, but the yellow and red cards were introduced at the WC in 1970.

I think THFC6061 posts these questions all over the place so expecting him to give feedback on every answer is a stretch TBF.

Not every answer no. However if you look back a few pages you can see a few people have asked questions back with their answers. Like Greaves for West Ham, Chelsea and Spurs? - No, he didn't do it for West Ham.

Are we including Scotland '86 does that count? How do you define a winning goal? i.e. Just clarifying the question in this case.

A lot of questions are straightforward so don't need replies, just the ones that do.

Anyway, that's my take on it - at the end of the day it's his quiz and it's helping his site get hits which I'm sure is a key aim here. I'm just putting a suggestion forward, if I want it to happen I should look at doing my own quiz at the end of the day!
 
the question doesnt say in the world cup - just who was first to be sent off (with a red card), or did I miss something?

Yes, red (and yellow) cards were introduced for the 1970 Mexico World Cup Finals, but no-one was sent off during the tournament.

Carlos Caszely of Chile was the first player to receive a red card against West Germany on 14th June 1974 during the World Cup Finals.
