I attended a game in Worcester at Foley Stadium last night and a player received two yellow cards with the resulting red card. I presumed that his team would be down a player but that did not happen. Is there a difference between college and high schools regarding the red card or would the result be the same in both situations?
Also, what is the rule for an offside in the box from a penalty kick? There was much discussion about a goal that was negated due to an off side call. The official was in good position but the talk on the sidelines was that it was not possible to be offside in the box once the ball is in the air and the players start jostling for position. I've watched soccer for a long time and this issue comes up (with people blaming the officials if the call doesn't go their way).
The officials did their best in an emotional high school game.
