[quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ncsl game today.  U11 boys. Kid on defense chases down another player on a breakaway and supposedly fouls him although from my view it seemed they were both going for the ball.  Is this an automatic red card?
Ref awarded penalty kick and red card.  Seems harsh.[/quote]

No red as long as the player was going for the ball. If ref gives red, it has to be because he deemed the player to have committed an egregious foul.[/quote]

While not going for the ball is obviously a foul, going for the ball does not excuse a foul. If a foul is committed which denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity, that's a red card. If it's in the box, it's a penalty. [/quote]

Fifa laws:

Denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity
Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring
opportunity by a deliberate handball offence the player is sent off wherever the 
offence occurs.
Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own 
penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity 
and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence 
was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, 
pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.
A player, sent off player, substitute or substituted player who enters the field of 
play without the required referee’s permission and interferes with play or an 
opponent and denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring 
opportunity is guilty of a sending-off offence.
The following must be considered:
•?distance between the offence and the goal
•?general direction of the play
•?likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball
•?location and number of defenders[/quote]
