This one goes out as a lesson for the kids at home. Youth soccer is supposed to be a way for kids to learn how to play the game and have fun. One of the important lessons that kids should come away with is sportsmanship. However, it takes some kids longer to learn this lesson than others, as illustrated by this clip offering by Dirty Tackle:
We don't know this kid's name or where this game took place, so we can't follow up on what happened afterwards. That may be a good thing, because if he was identified, this kid would become one of those Youtube celebrities that would never live down their embarrassing moments. So that can be considered another lesson learned, as you never know who has a cell phone camera nearby.

...this clip starts out nice enough. The kid in green takes the ball off the kid in red with ease. And just when it appears green is about to pass the ball -- BAM! -- the kid in red hauls off and punches him the face from behind.We understand that kids are going to make mistakes along the way while growing up. However, if a grown up does this, they end up in jail with an assault charge. Hopefully the parents and coaches involved used this incident as a teachable moment as to what is considered inappropriate behavior on a soccer field (or anywhere else for that matter). At a minimum, this "kid in red" should have received a red card and immediately been ejected from the game, and maybe the kid's parents made him apologize to the other kid before grounding him.
