Foul refers to a direct free kick offence. No cards have to be shown for an offence punishable by a direct free kick.
One example of a soccer foul is tripping or attempting to trip an opponent in a manner that is careless, reckless, or using excessive force.
it depends of the severity of the foul, could be a red or yellow. 2 yellows equals a red - sending off!
Cards are only shown for misconduct. A foul can also be misconduct, but does not have to be.
Foul, abusive, or threatening language is an automatic send off (red card). If it is a player, then that player may not be replaced.
A penalty is a type of kick given for a foul by a defender against an attacker while inside the penalty area. Cards are show for misconduct; yellow for a caution and red for a send off. **If a player is shown 2 yellow cards for misconduct, he/she is shown a RED CARD and the player is expelled from the game. It is possible that a penalty kick may be given with no misconduct, so no card would be shown.
Professional foul
A player typically receives a Red Card for a serious foul after already having received a Yellow Card. In the event of a foul that is considered malicious or otherwise severe, a Red Card can be given after the first offense. Both instances are at the discretion of the head official.

You cant get blue cards. You can get red and yellow cards though. You get a yellow card for a foul or diving or a minor handball. If you get two yellow cards then you get a red card and get sent off. You get a straight red card for a bad foul or a goal saving handball or a goal saving foul. ____ There are blue cards in indoor soccer and beach soccer. Word Cup, European and English soccer don't use the blue card. I don't believe the MLS does either. The blue card is issued for minor violations and the player is generally sent off the field for a few minutes to serve a penalty.
yellow card is sort of like a warning and if you get 2 yellow cards your suspended for like 1 or 2 upcoming games, its usually for minor things, like a small trip or so, red cards in the other hand usually suspend a player for usually 3 or more upcoming games no more than 5 i believe, and usually are gotten for using too much force in a tackle or basically being an idiot and hitting someone or fighting with the referee or stuff like that, hitting other players, cussing out the referee badly, etc.
Dissent is not a foul, it is misconduct, and the consequence is a caution.
If a player commits a foul which is worthy or either a yellow or red card, he is 'booked' whereby the referee writes the players details and details of the foul in his notebook to be reported to the governing body
A player shown a yellow card is receiving a caution. A formal warning to stop doing something.
Depending on the level of the foul or bad behavior (taking someone out by purposely harming them), a player may receive a yellow or a red card. The red card is more serious.
