The Antonym of " To play fair"
1) If your team played fair, yours wouldn't beat mine.
What is the antonym of " to play fair" ? I heard some english native speaker said " to play foul", is it correct? but I can not find any phrase " to play foul" in the dictionary. there is only compound noun " foul play.
Thanks a lot for your kind help
