What American football can learn from European football (soccer)

Watching a lot of the World Cup. I think American football would benefit from some of the rules of soccer, such as the use of penalty cards. I especially like the red card that throws a player out for unsportsmanlike behavior and does not replace him on the team. That is, the offending team now plays the rest of the game a player short. I would love to see this in American football! However, until players got used to the new rules, we might be down to six-man football by the end of the game ha ha.

There seem to be fewer jerks playing European football. Maybe not but that's the impression I get.
