Here dips*&^, before you whine.

A red card means the player is done for the match. His team cannot bring anyone in to replace him. So, for the rest of that game, his team plays with 10 men. He also automatically sits out the team's next match, no matter what the next round is.

FIFA's disciplinary committee then reviews the situation and can add more games to the suspension or issue a fine if the offense was serious enough.

Where to?

I think you're going to like it.

The Netherlands.

Everything I've read in the job offer, expat groups on FB ect suggests we're going to love it.

My pay is basically the same (slight raise), just converted to Euros. Rent, health insurance, food, transportation (outside of gasoline) are all going to be cheaper.

Sure, taxes are higher as everyone likes to point out as if I didn't already know, but when I did the math I'm going to end up with the same net I have in the states because I maxed out pre-tax deductions like retirement, HSA ect. All of those will be covered as well in the Netherlands but with better services and additional perks not available here, namely I'm going on a high skill visa that will put me in a position to get in a program where 30% of my income is tax free.

I get more holidays. More PTO. A cool bonus intended to pay for holidays during the summer break from school. I could go on and on.

It's going to be amazing.

A suggestion, if you have time, check out Albania before the summer ends. Karaburun. Best beaches on this planet.

That, unfortunately, won't be possible this summer due to work start date and trying to get the family settled.

But I've been building a list of places we want to go since European once a lifetime bucket list type items are no longer bucket list, once in a life time events.

I've been reading good things about Eastern Europe as cheap, off the beaten path sort of destinations (Albania and Croatia being the two most frequently mentioned), so I'll add that to the list.
