Soccer Dangerous Play
Any action by a soccer player that is unsafe to him or another player, in the judgment of the soccer referee. When contact is made, the referee will consider whether it was “careless, reckless or there was excessive force”. The soccer penalty for some types of dangerous actions such as tripping is a direct kick, but for others such as a high kick the penalty is an indirect free kick. (See “Soccer Fouls” and “Soccer Cards“).
