But that doesn't matter though because you achieved your goal of stopping their attack on goal.

Giving away a foul and/or getting a card is not good defence. With the speed of online play your opponent is going to making at least 5 runs towards your goal every half. With all these attacks you don't want to be giving away free kicks in dangerous areas or risk getting sent off.
Slide tackles are very effective when used sparingly, when your opponent has let the ball get out too far in front of them and you're not close enough tackle them normally.
