Fouls and Poor Conduct
The following are fouls or poor conduct practices in football:
- Pretending injury in order to delay play or to get an opponent booked or sent off
- Teasing opponents to get them out of balance
- Attempting to influence the referees
- Stealthily touching the ball with the hands
- Stealthily holding the shirts of opponents players
- Illegally stopping players in a counter-attack
- Recklessly duelling with the opponent's goalkeeper
- Professional fouls
Although some fans and players see foul play as a good part of the game (as long as it helps them win), FIFA constantly change rules and issue campaigns for promoting "Fair Play".
