I doubt that she simply tripped.

The black girl had received the ball, had turned upfield, and had an open lane down the sideline. The white girl was chasing and caught up. Looks like the white girl clipped the back of the black girl’s heel. Incidental contact, but still a foul. A penalty kick if it happens in the box.

The skill level of these girls doesn’t seem very high. Nothing wrong with that — I’m glad they’re playing a sport, whatever the level — but the lack of skills can make for a much rougher game. My daughter’s U-14 team (mostly 8th graders) is more polished.

As opposed to clipping the front of her heel, I suppose, but you know what I mean. Clearly accidental but still a trip.

I think your wrong, the Caucasian girl wasn’t within one foot of the Negro’s heels, did numerous stop-pause-stop.
Sucker punches are part of the game. It is typical Negro Culture tactics when dealing with others, particularly with Caucasians: Get in their face and Take cheap shots....i.e., attempt physical intimidation.
My two granddaughters play soccer and play it very well. During a co-ed mixed race game a few years ago the younger granddaughter complained to her older sister that a couple of the Negro boys kept clipping her heels and stepping on her toes. The older sister’s advice was to play them very close, don’t give them room to clip and step on you. Her phase was “Get in their Socks”. As far as I know it worked. The younger girl’s team went undefeated last year.

Incidentally has any one seen a Caucasian Basketball player deck a Negro player, college or Pro? I haven’t, but have seen plenty going the other way. Got to admit, don’t like or watch much NBA ball.

Perhaps your eyes are better than mine but I’ve watched it several times and I cannot see any contact.
