Understanding Tactical Fouls and DOGSO in Soccer
Tactical fouls in soccer involve deliberate acts of foul play to gain an advantage, usually by defenders fouling attacking players. This can prevent scoring opportunities and lead to penalties. On the other hand, DOGSO (Denial of Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity) refers to scenarios where a clear goal-scoring chance is denied through foul play. Various considerations such as distance from goal, defenders' positions, and likelihood of keeping control of the ball come into play in determining the severity of the foul. In penalty areas, additional factors like the defender's intent and type of offence are considered. Understanding these concepts is crucial for players, coaches, and fans in the world of soccer.

Tactical Fouls: SPA & DOGSO PRESENTED BY CHRIS HUGHES
What is a tactical foul? A deliberate act of foul play intended to bring about an advantage for the perpetrator. It usually involves a defender fouling an attacking player in order to prevent them from scoring or stopping a promising attack. The resulting free kick or penalty may offer the attacking team a lower chance of scoring than the original playing position and the defender therefore has an incentive to strategically foul the attacking player.
What is a tactical foul? The severity of the foul is a separate consideration. The player is penalised for the more serious offence!
DOGSO: Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity What is an obvious goal-scoring opportunity?

The Penalty Area When a defender stops a promising attack or denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity inside the penalty area, we have some further considerations: Does the defender attempt to play the ball? Does the defender have no possibility to play the ball (in a fair manner)? Does the defender commit an offence that cannot be carried out in a fair manner? E.g. handball, pushing, holding, pulling
The Penalty Area Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. handball, holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.
