In today's game of soccer most would argue that the most important person in a team is the coach. But a new position has arisen from the depths of the grandstand and his importance has significantly increased. Can you guess who it is? Big clubs all over the world are employing Sports psychologists for help and some have even put them on as full time staff. Sports psychology has become the next boom industry as clubs and coaches have discovered the power of soccer psychology. The difference between winning and losing at the highest level can be separated by a thin white line. All players are extremely fit, skillful, strong and quick. But how many players are confident and mentally strong? Clubs have...

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to watch the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea. It was a fierce game in which Chelsea eventually proved victorious. And even though I am a huge United fan, I enjoyed the game immensely. Why? The talent level was so high. The players on these two massive clubs are so good at what they do that anyone who watches them can't help but be impressed. It got me to thinking, how can a player become so good? I have been playing soccer for over 20 years, but I am no where near their skill level. So, what is the difference. Well, the following are a few things that professional players possess and I lack. Below, you will see a short list of skill sets...

Limiting the amount of consecutive touches players can take during a practice scrimmage is one of the oldest coaching tricks in coaching. Touch limitations are a great way to guide your players play towards specific ends while they may not even realize it. By limiting the amount of touches players are allowed to take, you essentially accomplish a few valuable objectives: First, by limiting touches, you force players to make sure their first touch is a good one, because they have no touches to waste. Over time, this will improve their trapping and ball handling skills. Next, touch limits force players to think about what they are going to do with the ball before they receive it. If they only have 3...

The use of shin pads is of paramount importance where player protection and safety are concerned. They are so vital that their compulsory use is sanctioned in the laws governing association football. Law 4 (The Players' Equipment) lists them as basic compulsory equipment. The terms "shin pads" and "shin guards" are often used interchangeably. However, the latter is the broader (and more appropriate) term. Soccer is a contact sport. Unfair contact between players is prohibited by soccer law. However, even fair challenges can involve substantial contact. In addition, the fact that harsh tackles and serious foul play are infringements does not mean that they do not occur regularly. Shin guards protect...

Every soccer player needs muscular endurance, explosive power and increased aerobic capacity. All these attributes can be developed by the help of soccer fitness drills. First and foremost, a soccer fitness drill will help a soccer player develop strong muscular endurance which helps increase his/her sprints during a soccer match. Soccer is a game played on ones toes, so the faster you are at performing sprints the higher the chance such a person has of scoring a goal or blocking a kick from the opponent's side. Improved muscular endurance can be achieved by performing soccer focused strength training. It is vital to remember that normal training carried out in the gym as much as it can help in...

Common soccer accidents are observed from different players. Soccer became so fashionable because its one kind of sports activity that doesnt require a lot of equipment in order for you to actually enjoy the sport. Plus, it is extremely simple and in fact safe. yet, there are some accidents that can come about because of soccer. Soccer requires some moves, from kicking to dribbling, accidents can come about during drills and by practicing unalike methods that will show the way to winning a game. Soccer injuries could be classified as cumulative or overuse...

Soccer is the most popular recreational sport among boys and girls in America. Professional soccer is also becoming more popular over the last decade. For these two reasons, it is important to understand the sport and the soccer positions on the field so that everyone can follow along. Both teams have eleven players on the field that are broken down into the following basic categories: forward, midfielder, fullback, sweeper & goalkeeper. Forwards typically stay in the front of the team on the attacking third of the field. They are responsible for most of the scoring. There are three forwards in most formations: a left wing, a striker, and a right wing. The wings are the outside forwards and play on...

Sports drinks like Gatorade and others are flavored fluids fortified with electrolytes, potassium and sodium, all which are lost by the body during intense exercise. However, its is unlikely according to most experts that the loss of your bodies stores of these minerals is anything to worry about unless you are doing intense workouts of 3-5 hours or longer. In the long intensity activities of 3-5+ hours, the athlete can be at risk for over hydration called hypoantremia, due to drinking excess water without proper sodium replacement. For youth football player practicing 2-2 1/2 hours at a time, the biggest danger seems to come from not drinking enough fluids. Numerous studies have shown that kids...

As a youth football player I was one of those odd kids that loved to go to football practice. We all have some of those type of kids on our teams every year, but in todays world of unlimted choices and instant gratification, we see less and less of these kids these days. As a youth football player, I dreaded those first few weeks of torture and deprivation, but knew in the end that we would eventually get into learning the game and actually playing. Other youth players on my teams often never got to that point, they didn't know there was an end result that was worth waiting for, some would sour on the game or quit during those first miserable 2 weeks. As time went on, I ended up playing High School...

Conditioning is very important for any football player as they have to cope with a lot of physical situations on the field. This form of training will help the young aspirants to be at the top of their game. The foundation of this kind of training is the strength training which is a very important component for any football player. Maximum strength is when a player is at his best and can perform and last for longer hours on the pitch. Proper conditioning is also very important to prevent any kind of injuries and also remain match fit. The strength on a field should be converted into explosive power which can be used for long sprints or bringing down your opponents. Conditioning and fitness are very...

I was driving with my wife and family on Sunday discussing with my her some of the conversations I had with youth football coaches over the phone this week. In many ways she is much smarter than me and looks at things through perspectives I rarely consider. She astutely recognized that youth football players have no clue if the scheme they are being taught is fundamentally sound, age appropriate or is being taught correctly. In most cases they look up to their coaches because of the position the coach holds and views him as the expert. In the youth football players mind, if they are failing with the scheme and or technique it is because they are not a very good football player and never will be. But...

This guide is about the specifics of taking your snaps at 'the match' and hints about the do's and don'ts. Make an effort to understand your own camera's capabilities - 'happy snappers' can take great football players photos as today's modern digital cameras are all pretty good. One important thing to recognise is that taking photographs at a sporting arena, can require a permit, as obtained by the press and media organizations. However, with the proliferation and qualities of mobile phone camera's and the compact digital cameras, all stadiums and clubs now turn a blind eye to their use by the general public. Remember this, it's important, it is a privilege not a right and acting as such can avoid...

There are many secrets to becoming a better football player, however; these are the top three secrets that we believe will maximize your winning percentage, help you and your team become fundamentally sound, and most importantly, make you the football player that you want to be! The first secret to football success is believing in yourself and having confidence. If two teams have exactly the same athletic ability in every way but one team has more confidence, they will have the advantage and will more times than not they will win the game. The best way to boost your confidence is in practice. If you do really well in practice and build confidence, in the game, it will come naturally. Try to always...

Fantasy Football player rankings are very useful when executing your fantasy football online drafts or establishing your pre-rankings for your offline drafts. When evaluating the NFL players, we assumed a standard league scoring configuration. The configuration assumes a starting roster of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 D/ST. Points are awarded for the following actions: Passing: 1 point for every 25 yards, 4 points for each Touchdown, and negative 2 for each Interception Rushing: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points for each Touchdown, and negative 2 for each fumble lost Receiving: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points for each Touchdown Kicking: 3 points for every Field Goal made and 1 point...

Sunday evening brings five time winners Brazil back on to the football pitch. They will face the Ivory Coast at 19:30. Paraguay will play Slovakia at 12:30 and the other game in Group F will see the world champions Italy face New Zealand at 15:00 The early kick off at 12:30 will show piece Paraguay and Slovakia. With Roque Santa Cruz in the line up Paraguay will look to progress to the knock out stages. Although Slovakia have played well in their world cup qualifying campaign I think it will be hard for them to make it to the last sixteen. I predict a 0-0 draw as both teams will be looking to take something from their game. The 3 o'clock kick off will see the current world football champions play...

One week into the 2010 World Cup we now have Germany and Serbia play in their second game of Group D at 12:30. Slovenia will face USA at 15:00 and the late kick off at 19:30 will be between England and Algeria. The Germans should be strong favourites against Serbia, however Serbia have some talented player and may upset Germany in this match. With Michael Ballack captaining the German National Team I can see him have a great game in midfield. At 33 this will be his last world cup. He has scored an amazing 42 goals for Germany. This is some return from a midfield player. Germany could quite well add the 2010 world cup to their previous 3 triumphs. Nemanja Vidic is Serbias best export as a football...

The World Cup in South Africa kicks off on June 11th. I think this is one of the most wide open tournaments in a long time & realistically eight or nine teams could lift the trophy on July 11th 2010. There are the usual suspects, along with the in form teams who will compete for footballs ultimate prize & I will place them in the order I think of them winning the tournament. 1. Spain - I make them favourites for the trophy & if they keep them main players fit will be the team to beat. Best odds of 9/2 at Bet365. 2. England - They are not the second favourites at the bookmakers, but they would be mine & if they keep their best players fit & sort the goalkeeping situation out then...

What's a World Cup without controversy? The 2010 World Cup had its moments; some of them had little to do with the players but the men in the middle. Midway through the group stage, one could easily identify some of the card-happy referees at the tournament. Referees issued a few red cards in the early stages of the World Cup - as early as the second match. Some offences, like Nigeria's Sani Kaita outrageous swipe against Greece, deserved red cards. On other occasions, the referee seemed card-happy. Khalil Al Ghamdi (Saudi Arabia) The forty year-old Al Ghamdi was a FIFA referee for seven years. Apparently, FIFA did not recognize his fondness for yellow and red in this period. Apart from the...

Thursday sees the third set of final games being placed in Group E and F. There will be no midday kick off to watch at lunchtime. In Group E the 2 games at 19:30 are Cameroon versus Netherlands and Denmark versus Japan. In Group F the games will be played at 15:00. We will see Paraguay face New Zealand and Slovakia will play Italy. Group E should see the Netherlands topping the group quite comfortably. They should get the point required to qualify for the next stages. However I can see Cameroon getting a draw in this game. Denmark and Japan should both be in a position to qualify in second place, but when Cameroon are playing against the Netherlands anything could happen. If they win against the...

ICC T-20 World Cup Series has offered a new delight to the cricket fans all over the world. After the successful ICC T-20 world cup tournament of 2007, everybody was anxiously waiting for 2009 T-20 series. However, the tournament of 2009 held in England did not yield substantial output. After the unsatisfactory performance of ICC T-20 world cup 2009, all the hopes are now hooked up in the forthcoming third series. People have already booked tickets from the travel agents for experiencing the grand live performance. The schedule for ICC T-20 is even more interesting than IPL T-20 tournament with the entry of many new teams. The tournament is scheduled to take place in West Indies from 30th April to...

Tuesday sees the final group games being played. And as such there will be no midday kick off. All 4 teams in Group A and B will be playing. France will play South Africa at 15:00 along with Mexico and Uruguay. Greece will face Argentina at 19:30 and Nigeria will play South Korea. With all to play for in the final games of the group stages in group A and group B these games should be fascinating. The host nation South Africa will have to get at least a draw to see if they have a chance of progressing in this group. With Mexico and Uruguay playing at the same time, we will have to see what happens. South Africa needs to get thought to the knock out stages if the world cup is going to be seen as a...

Portugal v Korea in Group G will be playing at 12:30. The 15:00 will see Chile play Switzerland in Group H and the last game of the day will see Spain play Honduras at 19:30. With Brazil and the Ivory Coast in Group G, this group of death may see the sacking of one of the coaches either from Brazil or Portugal. Having said that Ivory Coast have appointed Sven Goran Ericsson as their head coach so I don't think the big guns of world football will be shaking in their boots for too long. Korea played fantastically well in the 2002 world cup reaching the semi finals for the first time. However this time round they will find it hard pressed to get out of the group stages. I predict Portugal with Rolando...

The World Cup will soon be upon us. Here are some great tips to consider in your betting decisions. 1. Minimize your juice The common vig in Asia and for Asian-facing books throughout the world is approximately five cents on sides (-105/ 100) and less than 10 cents on totals. Play into these markets and you can't get hurt. Pass on all the bets with more juice. Swear off accurate score, first goal scorer, three-way wagering (no spread, just wagering either team to win or wager the draw), wagers on who'll win which group, the primary winner etc. Just avoid thinking about the noise. Should you certainly need to have a gamble on the downright champion, cut your juice by wagering your team "to advance...

Gambling: the word itself lets you to a dream world where your pockets are full and you bank accounts are flooding with money. This industry is growing at rate which is way above the growth rate of any other industry. Years ago no one would have thought that we will be able to place a bet with a click of our mouse. According to a statistic online gambling is growing at rate of almost 100%. Earlier it used to be games that are related to cards but now it has gone to another level. Now you can place bets on different sports games. A good amount of money is placed on online sports betting. With the arrival of online betting the role of bookie is eliminated. All you have to do is visit an online sports...

With a couple of harsh dismissals and one disallowed goal from the USA/Slovenia match, referees have again managed to be the scapegoats. FIFA's referee committee at the World Cup decided that the German referee (Stark) for the Argentina/Nigeria game should have disallowed the goal. While a referee must own his mistakes, there is the cogent argument that FIFA should take some of the "credit" for the referee performances at the World Cup. Referee selection FIFA decided that they would give referees from all confederations a chance to do World Cup matches. The quality of refereeing across the world is not even by any means. Better officials tend to come out of Europe and South America. This is no...

At last, official information is available on Shuttles, Park-and-Ride and Walkways to reach the Cape Town Stadium on match days - hot-off-the-press from a networking session with Cape Town City management! In a nutshell: If you are thinking of travelling in a private vehicle to the Stadium, there is no way this will be permitted. Furthermore, if you are thinking of using private tour operators, unless they have registered and gained accreditation with the appropriate FIFA organisers, the same restrictions to access apply. So...Here are tips on how to get there... (worth mention is that most of the transport options are free with a soccer ticket). Shuttles: Stadium Shuttles operate between the main...

The clash in the second semi-final of the 2010 World Cup between Germany and Spain promises to be an open affair between two of the best teams in the tournament. Both sides registered one defeat in the opening round, but had no problems in Stage 2. Germany was the most dominant team in the second round, having beaten top teams convincingly. First, they despatched England 4-1 before dismantling Argentina 4-0. Spain did not dominate in a similar manner, but got by Portugal and Paraguay with 1-0 victories. Before, not much was expected from a young German side, despite the experience of key players like Podolski, Klose and Schweinsteiger. Spain was supposed to do what the Germans did - take apart...

Some controversial decisions might deny a team an opportunity to score or a free kick. Other decisions are grave enough to change the course of a match or tournament. In the 2010 World Cup, the group stage alone has thrown up disallowed goals, gratuitous cards and debatable offside calls. Disallowed goal Koman Coulibaly deserves a spot by himself. One can overlook his apparently inconsistent officiating and raise eyebrows at his lack of authority on the field. However, to disallow a goal for an infraction that is unclear is not forgivable. One can excuse a call that has to be made in a split second, but Mr. Coulibaly from Mali had a good view and time to think about his decision. That made his...

WATCH T20 WORLD CUP 2010 ON  Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport that is first documented as being played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, cricket had developed to the point where it had become the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. Today, the game's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), has 104 member countries.[1] With its greatest popularity in the Test playing countries, cricket is widely regarded as the world's second most popular sport, after association football.[2][3][4] The ICC oversees...

In latest cricket news, ICC and the organizing bodies of Indian Sub-Continent are ready to cope with the expected terrorism in the upcoming World Cup 2011 but still the terror threat over looms the most awaited cricket event. The fearless attack on the Sri-Lankan team in 2009 has proven the weak security arrangements by the Pakistani Law enforcement agencies. This unfortunate event shifted the hosting of World Cup to the rest of the three countries as Pakistan had been fallen out of the venue. Players from Sri Lankan team were injured in this unfortunate event. Moreover, it has been planned out to move the championship to Australia/New Zealand, if in any case some uneven incident of terrorism occurs...

Are you ready for the 2011 rugby world cup? You better be! It is coming faster than you know and soon it will be here. If you want to go in 2011 you had better purchase you rugby world cup tickets soon. The rugby world cup is a tournament of pure skill and style in the fast paced game of rugby. Played every four years, the rugby world cup is played at a different host nation every year. This event attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators from all around the world. The sheer size of the tournament is not quite as large as the FIFA world cup held every year. Rugby players exhibit their swiftness and cunning out on the field. They dodge and juke, being fearless at every corner. They almost never...

Shame on the Dutch for attempting to make up for a talent deficit by cheating, bullying, even assaulting, their more talented Spanish opponents. Whilst they killed the spectacle of the final and almost snuffed out World Cup fever, as hosts South Africans were the real winners. Now everyone understands football and that it takes a full squad of talent acting as a team to win. In business small companies differ from larger ones by not having a complete squad. Often only a goal scorer and a goal keeper. Out of position strikers, AKA small business owners, try things they barely understand and if they do not work in an unfair trail assume they cannot work and abandon them. This applies particularly to...

There are some people who are very good at predicting the outcome of sporting events. Professional gamblers can do it and can make a good living from it. Team managers to some extent need to do this in order to plan a team's season, knowing which games to focus on and which ones to leave more to hope. Some sports journalists also have the knack of getting it right more often than not. To some it may seem like guess work or going on gut feeling but there is a science to sport and if you know what factors are important you too can be successful at predicting match results. League position The first and most obvious thing to look at when deciding who's most likely to win a game is the relative position...

This match scheduled to be held in Port Elizabeth on Monday will see the winner assured of advancing to the next round. Football is a funny old game. Nobody expected Switzerland to have any chance at all against Spain. Yet they won, beating the tournament favourites. Chile were expected to win against Honduras and they did, though they should have done so by a bigger margin, but for the intervention of Honduras goalkeeper, Noel Valladares. Against Honduras, coach Marcelo Bielsa opted for three strikers, an attack strategy that served his team well, in the qualifiers. It worked like a charm with Honduras not getting a sniff of the Chilean goal in the first third. And but for some shoddy finishing...

Qatar would take on Australia and believe me it would definitely be an interesting match. Qatar has played six matches in the fourth round of World Cup Qualifiers and they have ten points with them. To get these ten points they got three wins, two defeats and one draw as well. So with the mixture of these wins, defeats and draws they would be able to earn ten points. While on the other hand Australia also has same stats like Qatar have. They also have same stats as Qatar has same number of wins, with same number of draws and defeats. The only difference between the stats of these two teams is their goal difference. Qatar has a goal difference of -1 while Australia has a goal difference of 4. So it...

Battle Strikers toys and games are proving to be amongst the most wanted toys for thrill seeking children this year, and they would make ideal Christmas gifts. The difficulty is on knowing exactly what to get from any popular range. That's where I step in to help a little. Presented here are some of the most wanted action gaming toys this Christmas. First up though, what exactly are these toys and the game they are linked to? This is a game played by pitting spinning tops against each other in exciting tournaments. Made by Mega Bloks, this brilliant fun hobby is a collectable game where players can control the tops they send out onto the game arena. The magnetic tops don't need ripcords and are an...

Manchester United, almost certainly the biggest football club in the world. As a result, they've had a few pretty decent players run out onto the pitch for them over the years. Rightly or wrongly, the position in any football team that gets the most attention is striker. With that in mind, who have been the top strikers for Man United over the years? For what they are worth, here are my thoughts on the top 5 strikers in the years prior to Sir Alex's reign at United. Don't worry, I'm well aware not everyone who reads this will agree with me. Let's start in the past and work forward - seems to be fairly logical. I'm going to claim that the first forward of real note is a certain Jack Rowley who was...

There has been a lot of talk about the new spinning top game, Battle Strikers, which launched this summer. If you are the parent of a boy aged 6 and above, you will probably have heard of this new toy. But how much do you really know about it? To give you a bit of a heads up this article will cover what the Battle Strikers game is and what exactly to buy if you are buying it as a gift. The Battle Strikers spinning top game has taken spinning tops from their classic wooden variety to the next level. They are now colourful, controllable and customisable. The magnetic technology used by the new toy enables each Striker to be launched without a rip cord. Instead the Striker is attached to the underside...

The Battle Strikers toys are among the best selling items at toy stores across the country and around the world. This game is centered on one of the classic children's toys: the spinning top. However, this updated version bears little resemblance to the tops that most adults remember from their own childhood. This spinning top is controlled by magnets within the game's included controllers, allowing players to direct its movement. The Battle Strikers tournament is played within a roped off arena to see which top will be the last one standing. This game is recommended for children between the ages of 6 and 15, though some adults have become fans of Battle Striker as well. It is not indicated for...

Please let me pre-warn you about the dangers of going to a goalkeeper schools and a goalkeeper coach who is not really experienced. Sadly there are too many goalie coaches about now who DO NOT know how to do the correct training, so they will do more harm than good. You need to be getting taught by a DOER not a THEORIST. There are A LOT of great goalkeeper coaches you can go too, so please make sure you do your research on any goalkeeper schools before you decide to commit. Otherwise you could make a massive mistake. DO NOT take a chance on your goalkeeping future. Too many goalkeepers (Or parents of goalkeepers) will just see a goalkeeper coach or goalkeeper schools advertised in their local paper...

One of the most important players in a football team is the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is tasked to prevent the opposing to team to land a score. To be successful in this role in a football team, one must be proactive in defence and timing. A successful goalkeeper must also be fit and often must be more robust than the other members because being a goalkeeper makes you an obvious target of injuries and dangerous actions. That's why being a goalkeeper requires one to wear specially made jerseys or goalkeeper shirts. In other sports like ice hockey and lacrosse, the goalkeeper is required to wear special equipment like pads aside from the goalkeeper shirts as a form of protection from the flying...

Football is one of the most popular sports in the world and as a rest almost every child that is born plays football at some stage in their life. This is due to the excitement, the athleticism and also the sheer amount of money involved in the modern game. Out of all the positions in a football team, most kids want to play as a striker as it is they who score most of the goals and take most of the credit when the team wins. One of the least popular positions is that of the goalkeeper. This is probably because goalkeepers are often blamed if a team loses a match but rarely given much credit when they win one. Goalkeeping can be quite isolated, so it is thought that most goalies require a slightly...

Goalkeepers gloves are a relatively recent innovation but now days it's very unusual to see a goalkeeper without them. Ever since they were first invented goalkeeping gloves have been rapidly improving and now offer great protection to goalkeepers as well as improving their ability to prevent goals. This article discusses the reasons for wearing goalkeepers gloves as well as factors to consider if your purchasing a pair. Why do goalkeepers wear gloves? In recent years, footballs have got much lighter and can therefore be kicked much harder and faster by strikers. Goalkeepers need to protect themselves from these shots and gloves remain the best way of doing so. The other advantage of gloves is that...

The fallout over England's bid to bring the 2018 World Cup home rumbles on this morning with Seb Coe insisting the bid is still on course after he spoke to Sepp Blatter yesterday. Blatter told him to "tell their story, talk about the bid quality, the venues and why they are bidding". Coe's impression from the talks is that the bid will be judged on these things rather than the controversy surrounding the entrapment tape which was published in a Sunday paper. Gary Lineker outlined his reason for resigning as a columnist from the said paper in a radio interview on the BBC yesterday. He said he felt he thought it was hypocritical to take a salary from the Mail on Sunday when they had clearly damaged...

Favorites Spain are p against a stolid Switzerland in a group H at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Wednesday. In 18 previous meetings between the sides, Spain have won 15, with the others ending in draws. The teams last met in 1994. Spain will try to shed the tag of underperformers at this World Cup. In 2006, they flattered to deceive, and got out in the pre-quarter-final.  In the interim, they won the Euro 2008 championship and have since shown a calm maturity that was previously absent. European Champions Spain made a clean sweep of 10 qualification matches. The Confederations Cup loss to USA has been the only disappointment for the team since the Euro 2008 campaign. Manager Vicente Del...

In 2006 I stumbled across an incredible spreadsheet just before the World Cup in Germany. It was attractive, slick, and very easy to use. Tracking the progress of teams through the World Cup became a lot more enjoyable, no even riveting. Fast forward four years... along comes World Cup 2010 in South Africa. I contacted the original author of the Ultimate Couch Potato World Cup 2006 Spreadsheet to see if he was going to do an update. The answer was "No, it takes much to much time, but you can take it over if you wish." Well, to make a long story short, I took over the project, but in the course of asking questions about functionality the original author became involved again! Yay! After 3 weeks we...

While many soccer fans have an idea what a foul is, they might not be aware of the basic requirements that define a foul. For a foul to occur, there are basic requirements: * It must be committed by a player * It must occur on the field of play * It must occur while the ball is in play According to the Laws of the game, if any one of the requirements is absent, then the infraction is not a foul. In an instance where not all requirements are satisfied, it is likely that misconduct has occurred. For example, if a substitute enters the field of play and makes a brutal tackle, the substitute must be shown the red card and sent off for violent conduct (as opposed to serious foul play) and play would be...
