Why wasn't Iniesta sent off for the second yellow he got in the same game? I thought the rule was, 'A second yellow card at the same game leads to a red card, and therefore to a sending-off. '

I certainly didn't see him get a second card.... The only one he got was when he took his shirt off

The ref was just being fair, he had let the Dutch off the hook a few times. He was trying to avoid handing out a red card for as long as possible to not spoil the final. Funny thing is, there was absolutly nothing to spoil!

So what happened to the rules? Why didn't two yellows make a red?

There was only one yellow given as far as I know (116').... No rules were broken if that was the case. When (what minute) were the two yellows given?

He only got one for taking his shirt off....

He got one in minute 68 according to what I saw (and what all my friends saw). It is recorded that way in many places see Link: www.goal.com/en-us/match/43239/netherlands-vs-spai...
But if FIFA.Com says he only got one, then he only got one.

Did anyone else see him get a card for his shove of Van Bommel in the 68th minute?

He should have been booked about ten times, but he didn't get two yellow
