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".

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or conduct:
“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“There is no more important rule of conduct in the world than this: attach yourself as much as you can to people who are abler than you and yet not so very different that you cannot understand them.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
