Notes

FIFA's World Cup 2002 Organising Committee decided on 28 November 2001 that yellow card cautions incurred in the preliminary competition for which a suspension had not been served would not be carried over to the final tournament, but that any unserved match suspensions for red card expulsions during the preliminary competition would be carried over.  The decision saved Paul Scholes from a suspension for the first match of the final tournament because he had incurred his second yellow card of the preliminary competition in England's last match, against Greece.  It also erased single yellow card cautions incurred by five England players during the preliminary competition--Steve McManaman, Gary Neville, Ashley Cole, Emile Heskey and Steven Gerrard.
