Answer 1

Yellow and red cards were first introduced in the game by British referee Ken Aston and its first major use was in the 1970 World Cup:
The cards are shown to the players who have committed a foul. The color of the card depends on the severity of the foul.
A yellow card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially cautioned.
A red card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially send-off or expelled from the game, and must leave the field inmediatly and won't be able to play the rest of the game.

YELLOW CARDS
A player is cautioned and shown the yellow card if he commits any of the following seven offences:
1. is guilty of unsporting behaviour
2. shows dissent by word or action
3. persistently infringes the Laws of the Game
4. delays the restart of play
5. fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick or throw-in
6. enters or re-enters the fi eld of play without the referee’s permission
7. deliberately leaves the fi eld of play without the referee’s permission
A substitute or substituted player is cautioned and shown the yellow
1. is guilty of unsporting behaviour
2. shows dissent by word or action
3. delays the restart of play

RED CARD:
A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off and shown the red card if he commits any of the following seven offences:
1. is guilty of serious foul play
2. is guilty of violent conduct
3. spits at an opponent or any other person
4. denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
5. denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick
6. uses offensive or insulting or abusive language and/or gestures
7. receives a second caution in the same match
A player, substitute or substituted player who has been sent off and shown the red card must leave the vicinity of the fi eld of play and the technical area.

Receiving Second Yellow card
If the referee shows a player a second yellow card in the game, the referee will show the second yellow card before holding up the red card, meaning that the player is sent off or expelled from the game.

Suspensions (Red card)
Rule: A red card implies 1 game suspension.
If a player gets a red card, in the final game, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays.

Carry on the cautions (Yellow card)
The exact punishments are determined by tournament or competition rules (not by the Laws of the Game). The cautions are accumulate for a certain phase of a the world cup tournament.
Rules:
* A yellow card is carry over, and 2 yellow cards equal a red and a 1 game suspension.
* A yellow card is carry on during the first and second phase of the tournament.
* For the quaterfinals is a clean start for all the players, except for a red card.
* Begining the quaterfinals the yellow cards are carry on, until the end of the tournament. And at the end of the tournament all the yellows cards are reset, except:
* If a player gets a second yellow card, in the final game in which his team participated, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays (he has to be in the team roster).
* If a player gets a red card, in the final game in which his team participated, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays (he has to be in the team roster).

Answer 2

Association football, soccer, or simply football, is a team sport played between two teams each consisting of 11 players and is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world. It is a ball game played on a rectangular grass field (or occasionally on an artificial pitch) with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by manoeuvring the ball into the opposing goal. The predominant feature of the sport is that players other than the goalkeepers may not use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the match. The modern game developed in England following the formation of the Football Association, whose 1863 set of rules created the foundations for the way the sport is played today. Football is governed internationally by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The most prestigious international football competition is the World Cup, which is also the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world

Answer 4

ok. a yellow card is a personal foul like a bad trip, handball, yelling etc. a red card is a really bad foul which doesnt happen often. or two yellow cards make a red. if you see on the clock near the end of the game that looks like this
90:00
1:00

That is injury time where thay give you extra time from all stoppage.

Answer 5

the yellow card is a way for the ref. to keep control of the game, kind of like a warning, but if you get two yellows you get a red, you miss the rest of the game and the next game.... also you can get a red card directly... you usually get one if you yell, taunt or hit the ref, or if you hit another player really badly.

Answer 6

2 yellows in 1 game you get a red
1 red in 1 game your out for that game and the next game
you get 1 yellow in 2 games like if you play england you get a yellow and then you play japan and you get a yellow then your out for the next game.(that rule is jsut for the world cup))
