Best Answer

It all depends on what happens to the other player, if he/she goes to ground as a result of your late challenge the opposing team may be awarded a free kick or penalty kick if the challenge was inside the box, however if your late tackle does not affect the oppositons possession of the ball the referee may call play on where the opposition tries to play advantage, however if they lose the ball quickly the referee can call the ball back to where you made the late challenge and award a free kick or penalty kick. If you bring an opponent down with a late challenge from behind you are likely to be issued with a yellow or red card depending on the severity of the incident. The best thing to do is to ensure you make a good tackle and win the ball cleanly.

What does it mean to tackle in soccer?

The closest thing to a rugby or football tackle in soccer is a shoulder charge where shoulder to shoulder contact is made. By the rules hip bumps and using arms, hands, or elbows are not permitted though some of this goes on without being called. Also a referee may elect to not call a foul if the team that is the victim of a foul still has possession of the ball especially while executing an attack. The term "tackle" in soccer refers to kicking the ball that is in possession of an opposing player. That player may or may not fall as a result. A successful tackle dispossesses the oppent of the ball by making contact with the ball first. It is still termed a tackle if there is no contact with the opposing player's foot and if the opposing player does not fall. Contact with the opposing player which causes that player to fall is generally permitted if contact is made with the ball first and if the tackle is not from behind the opposing player.
