Maybe they'll let you come over and hang out with the men. Must get lonely at home while the wife’s at work.

Sounds good to me. I am always up for cold beer. I wish the wife worked, but I guess that would get in the way of soap operas and nap time.

That being said, it is ultimately the coach's responsibility to teach the correct ways to play the game. The issuance of a card can assist a coach when trying to drive home a valuable lesson; however, when a 9 or 10 year girl goes out and maliciously takes out another player, the coach doesn't need the referee to issue a card to turn the situation into a teaching tool. If the coach prioritizes "win at all costs", then nothing will happen. If the coach preaches "tough but fair play", then they should immediately sub the offender out of the game and explain to them the dangerous nature of their foul and that it won't be tolerated. Each coach is responsible for their players actions. Parents can quickly judge their coach's character based on how they react to a situation like this.

Good luck getting USSF to make that rule change though.

From a prime time game report...


Cautions
C-1 Unsporting Behavior
C-2 Dissent
C-3 Persistent Infringement
C-4 Delays Restart
C-5 Fails to respect proper distance
C-6 Entering or leaving the field without
the referee’s permission
Send-offs
E-1 Serious Foul Play
E-2 Violent Conduct
E-3 Spits at opponent or person
E-4 Intentional ball handling to deny goal
E-5 Denies goal scoring opportunity
E-6 Offensive, insulting, abusive language
E-7 Receives second caution

The problem is, the officials are sub-par and do not know the rules to enforce.

Player from team B receives the ball and makes the go only her and the keeper with 2 in pursuit, 10 yards past center the defending girls have almost caught the breakaway but instead of using more space to overtake and possibly possess the ball it was 2 piledrivers in unison to the back of the breakaway. The attacker fell hard on shoulder and chest and took about 3-4 min to regain and leave the field with the coach. The coach made an attempt to discuss with the center God-like authority figure but he turned and ran over to a more senior AR and discussed. A free kick was awarded and not one word of warning to the girls from the opposing team. But just to make this game even better was the fact that for 8+ min team A played with 12 people on the field, the AR caught the additional sub and brought it to the attention of the center and he waved it off. It was only later that team A subbed again and the parents from team B made the AR and the center very well aware of the mistake, it actually took the center 3 tries of counting girls standing still and then running over to team A sidelines to count with the coach another time that he realized there were and had been 12 on the field. I would guess there was maybe 3 min of added time put on, which barely covered the girls injury from previous.
