From what I understand of soccer (which is not much) the yellow are is a penalty and if you get two yellow cards you are out of the game. The red card is free ticket out of the game. That is about all I know. I'm sure someone else will have a better answer.

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

Penalty Cards In Soccer

2016-11-11 02:39:58 · answer #3 · answered by rambhool 4 · 0 0

Hey guys, lighten up. First it's not a dude asking the question, it's a dudette. And everyone doesn't automatically know the rules of soccer. If a car is loose on entering the turns and tight on exit, do you fix it with air pressure or 1 round on the wedge? Don't know huh? Dummies!
Now, Miss Myra, I'm not a big soccer fan, but I believe that a yellow card is a warning for an infraction and a red is disqualification. Try googling "soccer rules".

Yellow card is for a warning of a penalty. A red card equals two yellow cards or a dangerous and illegal play. Sometimes a ref can give it because the player has attitude or they have had several warnings for the same thing. A red card gets the player kicked out of the rest of that game as well as the next...no exceptions.

A yellow card is essentially a warning if a player is given two yellow cards in a game he is ejected from that game and the following game. A red card is an automatic ejection from the game and the following game. In most tournaments and leagues, yellow cards are cumulative. If a player receives a yellow card in one game and another one two games later, he will be suspended from the next game.

The first yellow card is a warning, and if you mess up again, you get a red card, which is expulsion from the match. And during the world cup, if you get a red card, you miss the next match.

i think you're a really cute girl when you ask that, you should go to http://www.fifa.com to know more about rules of soccer.when you miss a real foul u will receive a yellow card, when you miss it again u will receive a red card (2 yellow cards = 1 red card) with this card you won't be able to play the next match. sometimes you miss a dangerous foul(can make that player in danger) you will also receive a red card , don't need 2 yellow cards.Thank you for your question, a nice question.

yellow card: a caution when u make a very bad foul
red card: u can get a direct red card or 2 yellow cards=1 red card, and u get sent off if u get a red card, so u cant play anymore and your team has to play with 10 ppl instead of 11 ppl

There are 2 colors of "cards" which the referee will hold up to indicate serious fouls or behavior which won't be tolerated. He carries these cards in his shirt pocket, so if he reaches for his pocket it's a bad sign for the player who committed the foul. These cards are about the size of a playing card and one is yellow and the other is red. When a card is to be given (it isn't actually given to the offending player, it is actually just shown to him and to everyone else) the referee will stop the game, call the player over, hold up the card and write the player's name in his notebook. This is called "booking" the player and when it happens the player has been "booked", (e.g., "she was booked"). Any time a Yellow or Red Card is shown, a "direct" or "indirect kick" will also be awarded. (See "Fouls", "Deck" & "Booking").

Yellow Card - Indicates a formal "caution" for any of the following 7 offenses:
"unsporting behavior" - this includes hard fouls; holding an opponent or deliberately handling the ball for the purpose of preventing an opponent from gaining possession of the ball; faking an injury; saying things that are designed to confuse or distract an opponent; harassment (such as jumping around, shouting or making gestures to intentionally distract an opponent; jumping in front of a corner kick, free kick or throw-in; worrying the goalkeeper or trying to prevent him from putting the ball into play; & adopting a threatening posture), gaining an unfair advantage by leaning on, climbing on the back of, or holding a teammate or the goal; blatant cases of holding and pulling an opposing player or his uniform; any action designed to deceive the Referee; and behavior which in the Referee's judgment is unsporting or causes an unfair advantage,

dissent by word or actions,

persistently breaking the rules,

delaying the restart of play,

defenders failing to stay the proper distance away from the kicker on a corner kick or free kick (see" Corner Kick" & "Free Kick"),

entering the field without the referee's permission

deliberately leaving the field without the referees permission.
A player who receives 2 Yellow Cards is given a Red Card & ejected. FIFA rules do not require a player to leave the field for the first yellow card. However, some leagues' rules do. You must go by your league's rules. (See "Yellow Card" & "Worrying The Goalkeeper").

Red Card - A player must be shown a Red Card and "sent off" (i.e., made to leave the field) for the 7 offenses listed below. A player shown a "Red Card" & sent off may not be replaced during that game (i.e., his team must play a player "short" for the rest of the game; however, in some leagues a player may be replaced if he is ejected for receiving a second Yellow Card). The 7 offenses for which a player must be shown a Red Card and sent off are:
serious foul play (includes any use of excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball. Examples include a dangerous slide tackle from behind, or an "over the top tackle" in which a player raises his foot so the cleats could hit a player, or a two footed tackle that takes down the opponent. FIFA has broadened this definition by saying that "Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play. For current rules visit www.fifa.com, Laws of the Game. The above quote is from Questions and Answers, Additional Instructions for Referees).

violent conduct,

spitting at anyone,

a deliberate hand ball to deny an obvious goal scoring opportunity,

fouling an opponent to prevent an obvious goal scoring opportunity (e.g., holding to stop a breakaway),

using offensive or threatening language,

or receiving a second yellow card in one game.
