Hi


There were three soccer players. Each was given a yellow card. Then...

1. They were given a yellow card.
2. They were given yellow cards.

Which one is correct?


One more question.

In Scotland in 1988, a manager locked one referee in a changing room for 20 minutes after a match.


Here, in this context, does "manager" mean "coach"?

Do you often call coaches managers?

Thank you for your attention.

In American baseball--or I guess in baseball everywhere--the coach is called the manager, and he wears a uniform, although he doesn't play. In American football, he's called the coach, and he wears street clothes, and the manager is a fellow who makes sure all the equipment is in good order and ready when needed. For soccer, I don't know.
