Wow. Just wow. 
Bear with me; I'm coming from left field on this one...
This is a superb video from a training perspective in terms of challenge recognition. What's the first thing you imagine when you think of a two-footed challenge? I doubt very much its this type of perpendicular to the ground/ very low pro-wrestling dropkick challenge; moreover a "potential leg breaker" type lunge or stamp?
That's what makes this so good. Its a perfect example of a challenge being used to intimidate an opponent, and make him/her not challenge for the ball. Take away the red and white player for a moment and you have an illustration in point of why not every 2-footer is necessarily a red card.
In the event of course the intimidation failed and I hope(!) he was sent off after the contact with the opponent.

I think that might just be a red card....
How do you even try to manage something like that... if it was me, straight to car park or team bus, never mind showers....
Yellow for me...............................................................only joking!!
3 words... Got. The. Ball
In all seriousness...
IMO he made a genuine attempt to play the ball and as '2 footed' isn't in the rules I think I can manage the situation. I'll tell his gaffer to sub him and give the free kick... Yellow card for the other bloke to o with his boots, but I probably won't put that in

I really cannot work out if this is sarcastic or not...
It was his first foul though ref !
You would hope so
