What is the meaning of the English soccer term "cup-tied" when applied to an individual player?
107864
Cup-tied is an adjective, used primarily in football (soccer), used to describe a player who is ineligible to play in a knockout cup competition after transferring from another club during that competition.\n\nIn virtually all domestic and international cup competitions, any player who makes an appearance for a club at any stage of the competition is "tied" to that club for all future matches during that season in the same competition. This prevents a strong team from gaining an unfair advantage by signing a talented player from a club that has lost in an earlier round. A team that wishes to transfer a player may deliberately choose to keep that player off its cup roster to ensure that he is not cup-tied, increasing his usefulness to a club that may be involved in the same competition. A recent example of this was Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez' decision to keep Milan Baroš off Liverpool's roster for their 2005-06 UEFA Champions League ties in order to retain his value to clubs interested in purchasing the Czech striker's services. (Baroš eventually moved to Aston Villa, which was not involved in the Champions League.) Similarly, although far less often, a team may deliberately cup-tie a player to discourage a transfer during that season. Note, however, that this does not restrict most international transfers; cup-tying is only an issue internationally if both teams involved in the transfer have participated in a continental cup competition such as the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup.

It means it is not a competitive match with league points or progression in the next round of a Cup competition.  All they are playing for is pride!

The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is the main "knockout" cup competition in English football, run by and named after The Football Association.\n\nThe FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world, commencing in 1872 (the Scottish Cup beginning a year later in 1873). As such, its reputation as the sport's premier domestic cup competition extends around the world. Because it involves clubs of all standards playing against each other, there is great scope for "giant-killers" from the lower divisions to eliminate top clubs from the tournament. A record 674 teams have entered the FA Cup in 2005-2006. In comparison, the League Cup, a lower prestige English football knockout tournament, can involve only the 92 respective members of the Football League (which organises the competition) and the FA Premier League.\n\nThe name "FA Cup" usually refers to the English men's tournament. The equivalent competition for women's teams is the FA Women's Cup. The women's cup has a much lower public profile than the men's, in common with all women's football in England. Many nations also have similar competitions, inspired by this legendary tournament.\n\nArsenal are the current holders of the trophy, although they were eliminated from the 2005-2006 Cup by Bolton Wanderers. The 2006 final will be between Liverpool and West Ham United.

Yellow = warning (2 = red card)\n\nRed = sent off\n\nIn tournaments if you get more than (say) 1 yellow card or a single red card you can be banned for a few matches ... in league matches a certain amount will also lead to a match ban.\n\nIt could also mean "your agent is on the phone with an outrageous deal to wear silly coloured shoes" but that might just be David Beckam.

Group Stage = 3 Matches.\n1 yellow card / match = Warning\nanother yellow card in any of the group matches = you play this game but u are suspended for the other.\n2 yellow cards in the same game: you are suspended for this game and for the next one too.\n\nhowever, all yellow cards will be wiped off after the group stage and all players will be clean.\n\nhowever, if some one had a red card in the last match of the group, he cannot play the last 16 match ,\n\nhere is the description from bbc's website:\n\n\nSingle bookings from the group stage will not be carried over into the knock-out stage, but any suspensions incurred must be served. \n \nPeter Crouch and Steven Gerrard were both booked in England's opening 1-0 win over Paraguay, while Frank Lampard was shown a yellow card in the second match against Trinidad and Tobago. \n\nIf the trio avoid picking up cards in the final match against Sweden, those cautions would be wiped out. \n\nThe position over the length of bans for sendings-off is not so cut and dried. \n\n"In that case, the length is decided by Fifa on a case-by-case basis," Football Association spokesman Andrin Cooper told BBC Sport.

When u said etc, it means 'and others'. So it means that my answer is already from etc. But anyway, I would think more about how many goals he has scored for a team in a VERY GOOD LEAGUE or TIGHT COMPETITIONS or how many saves does he do when he played for a VERY WEAK team against a VERY STRONG TEAM in a VERY GOOD LEAGUE or TIGHT COMPETITIONS(that's for the goallies). The aim of a soccer team is to WIN with wonderful goals.

Bookings are carried from game to game now, and each player that gets two bookings will be suspended for next game. That's subject to Graham Poll refereeing a game, where you're allowed 63 yellow cards before he then gives you a final warning, a nipple cripple, then a chinese burn before spraying water in your eye.\nIf you commit another foul after this, he then gives you a red card.....

if you win a match, you get 3 points, tie, you get one, lose, you get none.  the top two teams (in terms of points) advance to the knockout stages.  if teams are tied in points, goal differential is used to break the tie.

the captain also known as the skipper, is often one of the older or more experienced members of the squad, or a player that can heavily influence a game. The team captain is usually identified by the wearing of an armband.It is a common misconception that the captain has some sort of special status in the Laws of the Game. This is untrue: the only official function is to participate in the coin toss prior to kick-off (for choice of ends and to determine who kicks off first) and prior to a penalty shootout. Referees will sometimes talk to the captain of a side about the side's general behaviour, but this varies depending on the officiating style of the referee.

Crossing a ball is achieved by kicking with the top of the foot which is the instep, passing with side of the foot etc. I dont know the term lace it is not used in Uk as a soccer term but maybe its an American term for the instep.

A team will only lose if they have less than 7 players. That means 5 red cards (or 4 red cards and a player injured leaving the pitch - that has happened)

The first round is the only round where there could be a tie, this is because the system of play will be the league system, each team playing one match against each of the other teams in the same group, with three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.\nBut the round of sixteen, quarterfinals, semifinals, play-off for third place and final will all be played in accordance with the knock-out system. That means, that if after 90 minutes, a match ends in a draw, extra time of twice 15 minutes will be played. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks will be taken to determine the winner.\n\nUNTIE THE TIE OF THE FIRST ROUND:\nThe ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:\na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;\nb) goal difference in all group matches;\nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.\nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,their rankings will be determined as follows:\nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup

I've been told that the term "cap" refers to an old tradition of exchanging hats/caps between players of opposing nations at a friendly match.  Thus, the number of "caps" a person accumulated was equal to the number of international matches a person had played in.
