Soccer Yellow Card
A serious “caution” in a soccer game. Two in one game & a player is shown a “Red Card” & ejected. (See “Soccer Cards” and “Soccer Rules“).
Soccer Slide Tackle
When a defender slides on the ground and attempts to kick the ball away from the ballhandler. If the tackle is careless, reckless or uses excessive force or the tackler first contacts the ballhandler instead of the ball, a foul should be called. If the tackle is from behind (from an angle that doesn’t allow the ballhandler to see it coming) a “Red Card” can be given. Some youth & adult leagues don’t allow slide tackling because too many injuries result. I don’t teach it & don’t allow it. Beside the possibility of getting hurt or hurting someone else, you can’t play if you are laying on the ground. (See “Tackle” and “Fouls“).
Soccer Serious Foul Play
A soccer player must be given a “red card” & “sent off” for serious foul play. (See “Cards“).
Soccer Send Off
A soccer player must be “sent off” if he receives a “red card”. This means he is made to leave the field and cannot return. In some soccer leagues he may not be replaced & his team must play “one player short”. (See “Cards“).
Soccer Red Card
Means a soccer player is ejected from the soccer game & may not be replaced (i.e., his team must “play short”). A red card does not have to be preceded by a “Yellow Card”. (See “Cards” and “Rules“).
Soccer Fouls
There are 2 kinds of soccer fouls, Direct Kick Fouls & Indirect Kick Fouls. (Rules are called “Laws Of The Game” and are changed each year. Go to www.fifa.com. for current rules. See “Cards” for more fouls & penalties):
- (1)
Direct Kick Fouls – For which the other team receives a “direct free kick” (meaning a goal can be scored by kicking the ball straight into the goal) or a “penalty kick” (”PK”) if the foul occurs within the Penalty Box (Note: It doesn’t matter whether the ball was in the Penalty Box or not; what matters is where the foul was committed). There are 10 direct kick fouls. The rules say that the referee should call a foul for numbers 1 thru 6 if he believes they are committed in a manner he considers “careless, reckless or using excessive force”:
- kicking or attempting to kick an opponent. Accidentally kicking an opponent while tackling the ball is not a foul unless it was careless, reckless, or there was excessive force. If a player slide tackles from the front, it will be considered at least “dangerous play” (which is an indirect kick foul), or kicking, or tripping, or “unsporting behavior”, even if the ball is contacted, since it would at the least be reckless or dangerous.
