A red card in soccer means the team has to play short the game and in the next game?

A red card in soccer symbolizes the ejection of a misbehaving player during a match. The reason it was made red was like in stop light, red is an overall symbol to tell you that you can go no further, and why it makes a player be taken out of a game is if the player is misbehaving they must be removed from the game before more fouls, or injuries occur. A red card is strictly for the safety and sanity of the game, nothing more.
