Please help me I have an important question

When you get a red card and have to sit out the next game. OK you are not available for that game because you have national team duties. Would you have to sit the next game you are available or does your national team duties still count and you can play when you come back from national team duties?

National team and Club team are separate, a red card in a club game is for club football only same with national team. If a player received a red card in a club game, he can play in the national team game but not in the next club game.

One more question..............

The announcers keep referring to Toyota Park being a big park and the players have some space. I thought the field dimensions were the same for all MLS teams. Is this true?

[englishmike]

Not sure about MLS but if it's the same as world football then no, the dimensions can be between certain measurements as is explained here;

Not all fields are the same. And a red card only counts for the competition it was issued.

Yeah its true. (Thanks EnglishMike for pointing that out)

I meant, the sizes for football pitches can vary.






Standard pitch measurements. Not all pitches are the same size, though 105m (115yd) by 68m (74yd) is the preferred size for many professional teams' stadia (for example: Camp Nou, San Siro, Old Trafford, Allianz Arena) with other pitches' size a slight variation (Stamford Bridge, Santiago Bernabeu, La Bombonera)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football_pitch

For example the Toyota Park stadium pitch dimensions are 120 yards (110 m) long by 75 yards (69 m) wide. Compare that to Upton Park of West Ham in the EPL 110 x 70 yards (100 m / 64 m). There can be quite big differences between football pitch sizes which can give an additional home advantage and help make games more tight or free flowing.

Are you saying all MLS pitch sizes are the same? The OP asked 'I thought the field dimensions were the same for all MLS teams. Is this true?', and you replied 'yeah its true.'

Its not true, MLS pitch sizes vary. http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/archi.../t-385469.html

If I misread your post in some way, apologies, wasnt sure what you meant.

Your right Mike, I wrote "Yeah its true" but it doesn't make any sense I meant to say pitch sizes can vary

Use the ruler on Google Earth and measure it. I came up with 70.5 X 120 yards.

No probs Kara, I had a feeling I knew what you meant but I wasnt sure.

I love Lithuania to beat Romania tommorow at around 2-1. In the first game they played in Romania, Lithuania won 3-0 and theyve played the better teams in the group.
