I've clearly misunderstood UEFA's commitment to Fair Play. A determined team like Italy can accrue 5 Yellow cards for cynical foul play, relying upon the reluctance of the referee to 'spoil the spectacle' by sending someone off with a straight Red.
Every team can suffer a couple of Yellows from misjudged tackles. There needs to be a team element. 3rd Yellow needs a sanction. 10/15 minutes off the pitch for the offender?
3rd Yellow = Red?
