yellow card soccer
Definition
A disciplinary tool used by a referee in association football to indicate a formal caution to a player, coach, or team official for unsporting behavior or persistent rule infractions.
A visual, color-coded warning that serves as an intermediate punishment between a verbal rebuke and a red card, which results in expulsion from the match.
Examples
The referee brandished the yellow card after the defender decided to turn the striker's ankle into a makeshift pivot point.
After arguing with the official for ten straight minutes, he realized a yellow card is rarely the appropriate souvenir for a mid-game performance review.
Getting a yellow card for taking your shirt off after a goal is the expensive price one pays for wanting to show off a gym membership to twenty thousand fans.
