SOCCER CARDS There are certain cards in soccer. A red card means that you have to get out of the game. A yellow card means that the team who got injured gets a penalty kick. An example for a red card is if someone slide tackles you from the back. A slide tackle when a player slides on a the ground so that he/she can steal the ball. Also, it’s a red card if the goalie gets a hold on Soccer cards

goal, that’s a red card. Examples for a yellow card is if you fake an injury, do a hard foul, confuse an opponent, distract an opponent, and jumping in the front of a corner kick. In soccer they use cards instead of saying that you did that so you have do get out of the game. Instead the referee will hold up a red or yellow card to show that the person did that. In soccer, the referee will hold up a red or yellow card to show that that team gets a penalty kick or that player has to get out of the game. A yellow and red card can be like the rules. When the other team gets a free kick from a yellow card, people from the other team who did it can block it by making a wall so the other team can’t score. So I think that soccer [2]
cards are very important.
Tackle Time
A lot of soccer players slide tackle. ‘’Players are usually just going for the ball, players might slide tackle by accident or unintentionally,’’ says Maccabee Olympic USA soccer player Tomy Deutsch. Players slide tackle sometimes. When the player on the other team slide tackles because they don’t want the player on the other team to score, so they slide tackle although it will be a foul. You can usually trip and hurt yourself. People should not slide tackle too much, but it can be a good strategy.
Power word: strategy-­‐ a plan that you strategize before the game.

How soccer
injuries happen-
Now, we’ve talked a lot about soccer injuries, but you don’t know how they happen, so let’s talk about that. Soccer injuries happen by any slide tackle or another injury, but expert Tomy Deutsch says that “Any hit that could break or sprain a body part like a leg or ankle can cause a soccer injury.” There are a lot of ways to explain how soccer injuries are caused, for instance you can sprain your ankle by a planted foot or a change of direction.

To be safe from soccer injuries, you have to watch out if someone is trying to slide tackle you, you have to jump over. Soccer injuries are very dangerous, but you can stop it. So, let’s try to do that.
