This really helped! Thanks! Before I would basically play with out knowing the names or proper soccer terms, so now I kind of have a better understanding of the game, compared to before. :)
Guys this tutorial was made for BEGGINERS. the one that really doesnt know what is "Soccer" (Means first time). if you think your a pro. then why watch this video?
@zctaylor75 Dude relax! calm down. Idk what your talking about. If you have a complaint complain to the author of "The Soccer Book" by David Goldblatt. I got my history lesson on Soccer from that book.
If the name "Soccer" came from England, then why doesn't seem like all of the English people on here are criticizing the name and calling Americans stupid for it? If you have a problem with the guy calling it Soccer, find a video labeled "Football" that's not American Football. Sheesh, when you criticize like that you just look ignorant. I don't go to England and tell everybody to say Soccer.
@qsuad you can't really tell what is the most common because every team has a different strategy, but its most common for a formation to have more midfield and defense, than attacking players
@Pepsimaximo1 You said "but its most common for a formation to have more midfield and defense, than attacking players" isn't this obvious? you only have a few formations with 3 forwards the rest are either two or one forwards.
@qsuad Yes it's obvious, but I only said it so some dickhead didn't come and comment back at me saying "Oh but there's always going to be not many attackers" or something.
The milo team is gonna visit our school this monday...and i really have to prepare for it....there are three events...that i should choose from.....it's soccer,basketball & baseball!!!so excited bout it!
3-5-2 is one of the most common ? i think 4-3-3 is more common than that, even 4-3-1-2 with a treaquertista more common than that, why does even americans play football ?
@BobKrahe you can touch the ball here too stupid. You just can't use your hands unless your the keeper or throwing it in so stop your bitch'n and quit clicking on videos you hate 'n rate.
@daking594 That depends on what's your strategy. A very standard and balanced positioning is a LINE of 4, with 2 center defenders and 2 side backs. Some people prefer to favor drastically their defensive game against strong attacking teams, so they use 5 defenders: 2 centerbacks, 1 sweeper behind them and basically covering any mistake, and 2 side backs. Some offensive and agressive teams that have reliable defenders use only 3 defenders: 2 centerbacks and 1 sweeper. Those 3 are the most common.
In case you really want to know, the flatback four is the best and most preferred defensive position in soccer and it will take you very far. About every professional team plays it.
The most used were 4-4-2 and 4-3-3, not it's the time of the 4-2-3-1 (Spain, Nederlands, Germany, Brazil).
.
Also these are rigid formations, nowadays (1 or 2) players move and change a formation into another, for example from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-2-2-2 or even 4-2-1-3 for offense and 4-5-1 for defense.
In holland the are, the first defender will take the center forward player. The other defender will help on the left, right or center. so in allot situations you have 2 defenders on 1 attacker
@whoops20 The fact center defenders go on attack sometimes on corner kicks doesn't mean that I should put them on the opposite goal when trying to explain positions. Of course players move all the time depending the situation on the game , but nobody overlaps two center defenders as a standard position. The amount of space to cover for the each defender would be ridiculously huge.
Even in a football for Dummies version it has mistakes! Don't teach this to your girls!
4-3-3 and 4-4-2 are the 2 most used tatics, each with their own modifications (classic 4-4-2 or losangle and 4-3-3 where the midfield can be 1-2 or 2-1).
@GuardadoFanatica27 actually when football and rugby wher bearly starting they were both called football. with time some confusion started to occur so football(soccer) was later called mainly by americans soccer due to the governing body called the FA football association some used the term soccer beacause of therm football aSSOCiation "ssoc" it was used to to differ the two sports football and rugby the Americans called footbal football assoc. so they started using the word soccer.
@loxeas Oh, so you're saying that the guy sucks just because he's American and you're not? That makes no fucking sense whatsoever. By the way, are you not American?
Why we Americans use the term soccer instead of football: The British invented Football in 1863, full name Association football, the term football is the formal name while soccer is its nickname that was created by the English inorder to distinguish it from rugby football. Soccer became a shortened reference to the word assocation football. Therefore, Football's nickname soccer is often used to refer to football in countries where another form of football exist. US Was a colony of Britian.
hahaha.. dude.. nice history from wiki there.. but football (soccer) was not invented by the fucking british.. stop making the dumb claim. no one knows who invented it.
the oldest socccer ball was made by the human head
@whatatwist25 I'm not making a dumb claim, you can find it in almost any soccer book that talks about it's history. The concept of soccer may not have been invented originally by the british. But how the game is played is. Also the british recorded these games into their culture and taught it into their society. Thus their people traveled to other parts of the world and taught others how to play this game. If you got any substantial reference to your claim let me know. Otherwise Chillax!
@Thereisalwaysmore Association Football and Association Soccer are both universally accepted terms. Some countries actually don't call it either. Don't see what the big deal is. Football, Soccer, same thing.
@colddistrictype actually i got no problem calling it either name, but most or all Europeans, N. Americans & Latin America tends to disagree. For "we" americans, Football is "American" football that's closely associated with Rugby football using your arms to hold the ball with the exception of wearing protective gear. Soccer is playing the ball with your feet and not so much by the hand with the exception of the goalies. My only guess America didn't get the memo in the history lesson! LOL
@14ax2 because most of the world (the countries that do play this sport and because it's the dominate sport in that country), calls it by the name football. Also because most people don't know that Soccer is still the proper name. Although the name Soccer is not popular. read my earlier comments and you'll see what i mean. Exp. Paintball is an airsoft sport. So If I go around saying hey I love playing paint airsoft then I get looked downed upon because I'm not calling it paintball.
@Thereisalwaysmore if you don't know that soccer is another name for football, then you shouldn't talk about the sport at all. seriously, that's no good argument, the only reason why people hate the name soccer is because they have prejudices about americans and want to find something to put them down for.
let the americans call it soccer, and stop acting like children.
@14ax2 Umm clearly you didn't read my any of my earlier arguments. Because that's exactly what i stated. but whatever dude, if you feel that you done good. So be it. That's what I have been stating time and again that soccer is another name for football, actually its a variant of football.
@14ax2 who said I was complaining? your twisting my words around. I'm just clarifying the confusion people are having with the The US calling soccer soccer.
@Thereisalwaysmore I've never meet anyone who's gotten confused when someone said soccer instead of football. It's just a thing the Brits have, that they are angry that the americans have another name for it
@RacyBee Because the whole world who plays soccer calls it Football, but we americans don't call it that. I guess in a way for most people outside of the U.S. find it degrading.

man im not good at football but i love it so please im begging u all tell me some good youtube videos for me to learn from . i know u dont hav time but please help me out . pleaasee. tell me alot of videos all u know.
@Dawntele if your good at shooting but not that fast you should probably play center midfield, you shouldnt play stricker because pace is very important up forwards i mean you need to be the fastest, and center back would put your good shoot to waste wing back or wing midfielder are positions which require extreme speed and stamina as well as good crossing ability. if your a good passer and can read the came well mid field is your position. hope that helped
@Dawntele You shoud play in 4-4-2 (where 2 forwards have more tactical freedom, if both side by side, if nº10 plays on the back of the striker, you should play over the wings....in a flexible 4-4-2 when defending and 4-3-3 when attacking (if you really run you can be the forward that attacks and defend most)
strikers help there midfield and other strikers by scoring goals?
what about holding the ball up and keeping it for the team and playing balls to the wingers so they can get in behind the defence theres alot more to strikers than just scoring goals
@Armand0008 No like it is showed here. Nobody plays with 1 sweeper and 1 center back. That is ridiculous. Sweepers are always behind 2 center backs. That's the only way that position makes sense.
Well...actually my team sort of plays that position. It's meant for the three defenders up front to get marks while the one in back is the "sweeper" and takes down anyone who passes as well as commanding the defense. It's actually pretty common.
@Total90Football4 Maybe u play in a very small field. What kind of defenders are the 3 on the front? Are those 3 centerbacks ? Or 2 sidebacks and 1 centerback? Either way that's not common or practical on an actual soccer field. The first case would be a ridiculously defensive formation cause u would force whatever side midfielders u have to defend a lot. And on the second case, as I explained, it doesn't make any sense to have a sweeper if there's only 1 cb ahead of him.
Well you can believe what you want, dude, no skin off my nose. In that formation, midfielders are SUPPOSED to come back and help defend. Those front 3 defenders are supposed to be centerbacks, the width doesn't matter. I've seen plenty of other select/premier teams play it besides my own and I'm moving up to flatback four anyway -_-
@Total90Football4 There's no professional team in the world using such extremely defensive system. That was exactly my point, if u have 3 CBs ur forcing ur side midfielders to come back and end up with 6 defenders. That's horrible for the game. I've seen youth leagues playing with 1, 2 ,7 defenders, cause there are coaches at that level that don't even know the basic rules. The fact that is done doesn't mean it is effective, or that facilitates good playmaking.
Ofc no professional teams use that formation, it's used for some younger teams. If you wish to believe it's so bad of a formation, then go right ahead. I've had plenty of luck with the formation and just the fact that I'm good at using it and my coaches are switching around to see which formation works best makes me comfortable with what they're teaching. I play as the sweeper usually and my team played against an older team with it and we only conceded one goal.
@Total90Football4 It is not used by pro teams because it isn't effective. Why use it with younger teams? Pro teams play against teams of their level, and so do youth leagues. It's the same thing. OF course u conceded only one goal, u have too many defenders, so that's to be expected. The problem with that is that ur playmaking and scoring ability it is seriously affected and the game becomes dull and boring. I'd rather concede 3 goals but losing trying to play the beautiful game.

@Ngooo i no nothin bout soccer but im guessin its cuz expertvillage is full of bull shit videos that are completely wrong about sports. baseball especially
@bostonsports517 Because soccer is not that big in the US yet, there are a lot of people that have no idea about the sport and/ or never played it, teaching it to kids. I don't really know if that's the case on this video, but those graphics explaining the positions, are just bizarre to say the least.
wow u are retarted and dont know anything about soccer u didnt explain anything about the positions. there arent only 3 positions there are 11. there are 3 different types of players offence defence and mid. then in def theres the keep, stop, sweeper outside rght, and outside left, then mid field the outisides and central who is the key player on the field because he is the player that SHOULD be played through. then your forwards.
outside left and outside right and then your striker which is the player that is looked for gettin the ball to, to get the ball into the bak of the net.
@soldierkiller29 Far Post and near Would normally be in a free kick ( foul againist another player ) I would of thought far and near post would of been marking them in a free kick.....
lol i totally agree with that.. when they want to teach you something they teach you the stuff that are common sense like hit the ball with your forehead .. wtf ? u think we hit the ball with our hands?
ps i posted that a while back and now im apologizing 4 it bc i wasnt right in saying that but i do kno a few things about defense, if nt keeping the ball on the outside or using ur goalkeeper wen in doubt then u must b an idiot u try making premier or else ur just plain stupid about defense =D
I've never played soccer before and now I am so I'm very greatful for this video. :|

@chritkalk I said the 4-3-3/ 4-1-2-3, as opposed to the flat 4-3-3.
When playing the triangular 4-3-3 (or modern 4-3-3) 1 of of the midfielders is a destroyer and stays lower then the other 2.
Barcelona tends to play that way, Chelsea under Mourinho , and Porto.
At Barcelona Busquets is the deepest midfielder, then comes Xavi and on the same line or a bit higher is Iniesta.

@Thereisalwaysmore if you don't know that soccer is another name for football, then you shouldn't talk about the sport at all. seriously, that's no good argument, the only reason why people hate the name soccer is because they have prejudices about americans and want to find something to put them down for.
let the americans call it soccer, and stop acting like children.
and no, im not american

@14ax2 Umm clearly you didn't read my any of my earlier arguments. Because that's exactly what i stated. but whatever dude, if you feel that you done good. So be it. That's what I have been stating time and again that soccer is another name for football, actually its a variant of football.

@Thereisalwaysmore whatever, you know what people mean, why do you have to complain about it?
14ax2 10 months ago
@14ax2 who said I was complaining? your twisting my words around. I'm just clarifying the confusion people are having with the The US calling soccer soccer.
Thereisalwaysmore 10 months ago
@Thereisalwaysmore I've never meet anyone who's gotten confused when someone said soccer instead of football. It's just a thing the Brits have, that they are angry that the americans have another name for it

Why does it honestly matter if America calls it soccer? I really don't get why it bothers people so much...
RacyBee 1 year ago
@RacyBee Because the whole world who plays soccer calls it Football, but we americans don't call it that. I guess in a way for most people outside of the U.S. find it degrading.

What position should I be? I run kind of fast but I'm excellent at shooting.
Dawntele 1 year ago
@Dawntele if your good at shooting but not that fast you should probably play center midfield, you shouldnt play stricker because pace is very important up forwards i mean you need to be the fastest, and center back would put your good shoot to waste wing back or wing midfielder are positions which require extreme speed and stamina as well as good crossing ability. if your a good passer and can read the came well mid field is your position. hope that helped
guitarcar911 1 year ago
@Dawntele You shoud play in 4-4-2 (where 2 forwards have more tactical freedom, if both side by side, if nº10 plays on the back of the striker, you should play over the wings....in a flexible 4-4-2 when defending and 4-3-3 when attacking (if you really run you can be the forward that attacks and defend most)

strikers help there midfield and other strikers by scoring goals?
what about holding the ball up and keeping it for the team and playing balls to the wingers so they can get in behind the defence theres alot more to strikers than just scoring goals

@Armand0008 No like it is showed here. Nobody plays with 1 sweeper and 1 center back. That is ridiculous. Sweepers are always behind 2 center backs. That's the only way that position makes sense.
Ngooo 1 year ago
@Ngooo
Well...actually my team sort of plays that position. It's meant for the three defenders up front to get marks while the one in back is the "sweeper" and takes down anyone who passes as well as commanding the defense. It's actually pretty common.
Total90Football4 1 year ago
@Total90Football4 Maybe u play in a very small field. What kind of defenders are the 3 on the front? Are those 3 centerbacks ? Or 2 sidebacks and 1 centerback? Either way that's not common or practical on an actual soccer field. The first case would be a ridiculously defensive formation cause u would force whatever side midfielders u have to defend a lot. And on the second case, as I explained, it doesn't make any sense to have a sweeper if there's only 1 cb ahead of him.
Ngooo 1 year ago
@Ngooo
Well you can believe what you want, dude, no skin off my nose. In that formation, midfielders are SUPPOSED to come back and help defend. Those front 3 defenders are supposed to be centerbacks, the width doesn't matter. I've seen plenty of other select/premier teams play it besides my own and I'm moving up to flatback four anyway -_-
Total90Football4 1 year ago
@Total90Football4 There's no professional team in the world using such extremely defensive system. That was exactly my point, if u have 3 CBs ur forcing ur side midfielders to come back and end up with 6 defenders. That's horrible for the game. I've seen youth leagues playing with 1, 2 ,7 defenders, cause there are coaches at that level that don't even know the basic rules. The fact that is done doesn't mean it is effective, or that facilitates good playmaking.
Ngooo 1 year ago
@Ngooo
Ofc no professional teams use that formation, it's used for some younger teams. If you wish to believe it's so bad of a formation, then go right ahead. I've had plenty of luck with the formation and just the fact that I'm good at using it and my coaches are switching around to see which formation works best makes me comfortable with what they're teaching. I play as the sweeper usually and my team played against an older team with it and we only conceded one goal.
Total90Football4 1 year ago
@Total90Football4 It is not used by pro teams because it isn't effective. Why use it with younger teams? Pro teams play against teams of their level, and so do youth leagues. It's the same thing. OF course u conceded only one goal, u have too many defenders, so that's to be expected. The problem with that is that ur playmaking and scoring ability it is seriously affected and the game becomes dull and boring. I'd rather concede 3 goals but losing trying to play the beautiful game.

@bostonsports517 Because soccer is not that big in the US yet, there are a lot of people that have no idea about the sport and/ or never played it, teaching it to kids.

wow u are retarted and dont know anything about soccer u didnt explain anything about the positions. there arent only 3 positions there are 11. there are 3 different types of players offence defence and mid. then in def theres the keep, stop, sweeper outside rght, and outside left, then mid field the outisides and central who is the key player on the field because he is the player that SHOULD be played through. then your forwards.
yamane14 2 years ago
outside left and outside right and then your striker which is the player that is looked for gettin the ball to, to get the ball into the bak of the net.

now are more used the 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-4-1 formation
spain won tha european championship last year using 4-1-4-1, but you have to have players for it
