Obviously, Not All Of These Positions Can Be Played At Once, As This Is To Many Players On The Pitch And Exceeds The 11 Player Limit.
The Reason There Are More Than Just 11 Positions Is Because Different Players Prefer To Play In Different Areas On The Pitch

FORMATIONS :

This Is The Distribution Of Players Throughout The Attacking Zone, The Midfield Zone, And The Defensive Zone. For Example A 4-3-3 Formation. This Means That There Are 4 Defenders, 3 Midfielders, And 3 Attackers

TACTICS :

Tactics Is Basically How Your Team Is Going To Move The Ball Up The Field, For Example How Often To Pass Or Dribble, Who Marks Who, How Tightly To Cover Your Marked Player etc.

ROLES :

As Ninh Did Not Explain, Your Team MUST Have A Designated ;

Captain
Direct Free Kick Taker
Indirect Free Kick Taker
Corner Kick Taker
Penalty Kick Taker

Pls Like Took Me A Long Time:)

I was scared of the offside thing but you made it seem so simple! Nice one.

As a person that grew up playing American Football, I would like to thank you for this video. I always found Soccer/Football to be interesting.

I started watching soccer/football since the age of 5. I know the rules like my name lol. It’s honestly the greatest sport. So many things could happen. It’s a sport where you could actually see someone display incredible talents. Check out players like ronaldinho, messi, ronaldo, pele, etc.

Additionally, you can't be offside within your own half (See Torres vs. Barcelona, UCL 2012)

Some finer points -

A player is only offside when the ball is being passed forward from a player behind him. If (say) a attacker gets to the goal line and pass the ball backwards to a player ahead of the last defender, neither player is offside. Also you can't be offside in your own half of the field.

There is some leeway as far as handball goes - if the ball hits a players hand or arm and it would have hit another part of his body anyway (e.g. his hand/arm was in front of his chest) then ref will *usually* not give handball. If a player blocks a pass or shot with their hand/arm that would have kept going then it should be handball.

There's two types of free kick - direct and indirect. Direct means that the ball can be hit directly at goal. Indirect means it has to touch another player (either team) before going in the goal. If an indirect free kick goes straight in without touching anyone it's disallowed and a goal kick is given to the other team.

Usually direct free kicks are for fouls and handball. Indirect free kicks are for offside. Indirect free kicks are also given for the keeper handling a back pass in the area as opposed to a penalty for any other sort of foul play, but these are rare occurrences.

Even rarer is the drop ball which "is designed to offer no advantage to either side, generally being awarded when play has been stopped due to reasons other than normal gameplay or misconduct.". For example if there a streaker or animal on the pitch. Usually one team agree to kick it straight back to the team which was last in possession.

Which leads me to the 'gentlemans agreement' - you may see players kicking the ball out of play deliberately - most frequently when an injured player needs treatment. It is usual for the other team to return the ball back to them in the interests of fair play. There is no rule saying a team must put the ball out of play or that the other team return possession however it is EXTREMELY bad form to not return possession. There have been instances where teams have not returned possession and scored - this has led to the other team allowing a goal in return to even things up or even games being replayed. But as mentioned this is all a 'gentlemens agreement' and not enshrined in the rules of the game. Nevertheless it is part of the game.

I mentioned the 'no backpass rule' for goalkeepers earlier - essentially a goalkeeper can only pick up a pass from his teammates if it has been passed to him by any other part of the body except the foot. And even then it has to be a DELIBERATE backpass. If the ball ricochets off his team-mates foot the goalie can pick it up. Also goalkeepers can only handle the ball inside the 18 yard area. Handing the ball outside the area (deliberately or otherwise) is almost always at least a yellow card. Often a straight red as it is usually a 'professtional foul'.

And what is a 'professional foul'? - "a professional foul is a deliberate act of foul play intended to bring about an advantage for the perpetrator. Professional fouls are usually committed to prevent an opponent from scoring.". I.e. a deliberate foul on the player rather than a result of bad timing or technique. For example player through on goal and being fouled by the last defender will invariable be a red card offence whereas a player being knocked over in midfield will be a yellow card or just a free kick. Professional fouls can happen anywhere on the pitch depending on circumstances and the referee's interpretation of the situation.

And speaking of interpretation at time of writing for the most part referees cannot rely on replays or other technology for taking another look at incidents. At the higher levels of the game there is technology for the refs to be informed when the ball has crossed the goal line between the posts. Also refs have earpieces and other gadgets so the linesmen and fourth official can inform the ref of an incident the ref did not see so the ref can take appropriate action. This is the ONLY time a ref can do this. Refs cannot (for example) take action based on video replays inside the stadium.

Finally there is the concept of 'playing advantage' - if a foul has been committed but the advantage is still with the attacking team the ref can choose to let play continue until a natural stoppage (goal, ball out of play, another foul) occurs. I.e. if a player makes a pass and is fouled but it looks like the pass might lead to a goal then the ref will let play continue as it is to the advantage of the player being fouled. If the foul is worthy of a card, the ref can give that card once play has stopped. Refs can also give cards before the game, at half time and after the game. Also refs can give yellow or red cards to substitute not yet on the field of play.

Great summary of the game. I used it to kick off (no pun intended!) our soccer unit in my high school PE class! Thanks!

kaditenney

Soccer is the most difficult sport out there which makes it the funnest. I really enjoy playing it. Unlike other sports you need to feel the ball and actually play with your heart. I can't imagine a world without soccer. Thank god soccer exists!!! :)
