For our soccer guys.

One thing I want to point out (on YouTube you can watch the play on .25 speed) -- even though your son appears to be a bigger kid and he collided into a smaller opponent you can clearly see the collision was the result of a "hustle play." There were no elbows/forearms/etc that were thrown at his opponent in the play. The guys pretty much collided ribs to ribs and it was an unfortunate collision, nothing else.

I agree with you -- in addition to what I said earlier -- I think your son being much more solid than the player he collided with probably did have something to do with the card.

Edit: I also want to add that is a smart ball played by the opposing team to open up space. Good on that player.

Yeah. The kid that serves it is a good player. Played ODP with my son, on a crazy good team, that lost in regional finals on PKs to eventually national champs. An SU commit, a Binghamton commit, a Columbus Crew academy kid, another kid who went to Italy this year for club, national team training were all on that team.
Lots more really, really good players.
