    world cup winners Argentina '86, Germany '90, Brazil '94

    Euro winners Germany '96

    African Cup winners Egypt '06, '08, '10

    In the mid 80s to mid 90s 3-5-2 was THE most common formation

    It is still one of the most common formationsin south america, especially Brazil (what would they know)

    Napoli, who came 3rd in Serie A this year use this formation

    you are the noob

  • @SWeeX3103 ur an idiot

  • @SWeeX3103 wow...noobs these days....knowing nothing about football

  • Middlefield forward :)

  • uhm one of the most common formations in football is deffinetly NOT 352.

  • @chri1494

    actually it was once the single most common formation

    and it is still used by a lot of teams, read my other comment

  • Center-forward all the way! :) thumbs up if you play center!

  • I'm a forward :D

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a goalkeeper :)

  • @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.

  • how many of the viewer play soccer in a club

  • Youre talking and not doing shit <.<

  • 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.

    We have our culture and you have yours.

  • Love your video's, wish they were a little longer though :-(

  • 3-5-2 is not one of the most common formations. 

  • @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.

  • @Pepsimaximo1 Oh ok.

  • 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!

  • when did 4-4-2 ever become like this?

  • if u ain't no punk holla we won't pre-nup! we want pre-nup yeah!

    GLEE FTW

  • 40 people thought they could play soccer because they played fifa

  • this is my life.

  • why is he playing with a sweeper

  • @BiscuitPaul because the americans live inte the 80-90

  • 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 ?

  • @chritkalk Nowadays the 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3/ 4-1-2-3 are the most common.

  • @darkoneforce2 the 4-1-2-3 is not one of the most common. the most common nowadays is 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2

  • @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.

  • @darkoneforce2 Yeah, and I said its not one of the most common ones. Just Barcelona plays that way.

  • @chritkalk Porto, Lyon, Blackpool and Chelsea as well, and Manchester, Arsenal and AC Milan occasionally.

    Roma at half time (against Bayern) changed to a triunghiular 4-3-3 with De Rossi deep then Brighi and Simplicio higher.

    Portugal and Russia also play formation.

  • @darkoneforce2 Do you mean 4-3-3 with a deep-lying midfielder?

  • Soccer is a gay game. Its worse than netball. at least in netball people can touch the ball.

  • @BobKrahe lol faggot

  • @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.

  • i know more then this guy and im 10

    

  • Australians call it soccer too im an Aussie but i call it both

  • 3-5-2??????

  • whats a good position on defense?

  • @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.

  • @daking594

    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.

  • @Ngooo

    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.

  • Use the 4-2-3-1 Great Form

  • @TheSaxismylife my team uses the 4-2-3-1 in the recent display of world cup football and it is the new way to play free flowing football!

  • 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).

  • fucking americans let their country go to hell

  • Comment removed

  • All yanks the name is Football!!!!

    The English invented it as Football.

    In the Netherlands we call your football American Football and that's the way you should call it.

    And you shouldn't call it Soccer.

  • y do people call it "football?" and if its actually called "football" then y do many people call it soccer? I know it by soccer but idk

  • @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.

  • @7070007 ooooh thanks for the explanation :)

  • Can an American please explain to me why the word Football is used for the sport of Rugby? American Football mainly needs using your hands ...

  • Wow! This is a really helpful video!

    Good Video!

  • 1st. It's a football. F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L.

    2nd. nobody listen to you because it's FOOTBALL.

    3th. Fuck you.

  • @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?

  • the name of the game football ole ole ole

  • ITS FUCKING FOOTBALL

  • @bridgfordbill Not in America.

  • Why are you north americans calling it soccer? its FOOTBALL. The game you call football you play with your hands.

  • It's not so much as why Americans call it soccer but why they call their own sport football...you almost always use your hands.

  • Ha, americans that teaches football lmao

  • who cares about the name? isn't it the same thing? sheees you people act like babies.... im sorry for you all.

  • 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.

  • @Thereisalwaysmore

    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

  • Respond to this video... but thanks for the opinion anyway.

  • @Thereisalwaysmore why do all people get so upset about americans saying soccer? you know what they mean, stop crying about it

  • @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.

    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 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

  • @14ax2 Hey look who just complained to me a British person. He/she goes by the User name zctaylor75

  • Why does it honestly matter if America calls it soccer? I really don't get why it bothers people so much...

  • @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.

  • this helped, but it would help more if you played an example...

  • Get a job you hack!!! you know nothing

  • we already have football! stop complaing! honestly so annoying just let it go!

  • you do know the whole soccer vs football etymology debate is pointless. Besides the name "soccer" was first used in England.

  • its rugby better or baseball!! LOL

  • LOL thos formations sucked!

    4-4-2 usually has a flat back, and a 3-5-2 usually has 2 defensive midfielders, 2 wingers and an attacking midfielder

  • you guys want to play soccer? please...i was like Puyol in 20 years lol. but now am way better, i just got this dvd how to play soccer really well, now am Ronaldinho...in 5 years ; )

    Check it out.

  • In America it's called soccer... Stupid people... You seem to know so much... Why don't you know what your favorite sport is called in different countries?

  • 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.

  • who gives a shit what its called. why is it such a big deal.

  • @huntbug1 because it swnds f*****g gay

  • these explains are basic cause the video is 4 the stupid americans who don't know what football(not soccer!!)is

  • What position should I be? I run kind of fast but I'm excellent at shooting.

  • @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)

  • what kind of defending 4 is that?

  • football....not soccer.

  • dude soccer and football its still the same...

  • Good explaining bro

  • super basics explanations

  • i run sooooo fast and shoot kinda good what position should i be?

  • @Ashterrs a striker

  • @Ashterrs forward

  • midfeid

  • you should play mid field or forward, thats what i do, im sort off like you

  • @Ashterrs Over the wings.... going until the end of the field and pass the ball to the area, for the striker

  • 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

  • Why are your 2 central defenders overlapped? Nobody plays like that.

  • @Ngooo not necessarily. i think he's trying to describe the diamond D where you have a DMF.

  • Comment removed

  • @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

    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.

  • @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 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

    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

    You go your way, I will go mine. -_-

  • @Total90Football4 Fair enough. It's just a matter of style in the end.

  • @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 while 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.

  • @Ngooo its not about soccer, its about expertvillage having absolute bull shit videos. period

  • @Ngooo because this guy is a dipshit

  • @Ngooo its because there is a sweeper and a stopper in the middle

  • you suck

  • why are you watching if you know then yamane

  • 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.

  • wats a sweeper and stopper? also, wats far post and near post

  • sweeper is last defender and commands defense and stopper marks up on the best forward

    nt sure about posts :(

  • @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?

  • never listen to an american when it comes to football. they dont have a clue

  • guyz i have 3 places to choose.

    1) lybero

    2)right back

    3) the guy who will passes to the attackers

    what is the best?

  • @kalotatos9 It depends of your skills!!!!

    For making money as a pro: #3

  • im 6'1 i play deffence in a 14 and up league and im 14

  • lolz its called soccer UK ppl calls it football but its commonly called soccer

  • Football, not soccer. Cunts.

  • dude in italy they even call it calcio dont diss every1 like that jeez

  • wow total90football4 you obviosly know nothing about soccer cuz what you jst said about defence we played in rec

  • no way i learned this in select i kno how 2 play defense sure i wuz pretty open there but still ur 1 mean soccer fan jeez

  • well if your gona say anything about soccer try making a primere team first!!!! Loser..

  • shut up im no loser and i once did make premier so su il tuo cagna!

  • 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

  • well defence sucks anyways....and so do you, no offence

  • how does defense suck? plus i so do nt suck @ watever ur refering me 2 :(

  • thats a 3-1-4-2 formation

  • ive never tried that formation yet...

  • my soccer team uses a 4-5-1 formation dose it work and my wide defenders go up and down replay back tell me if its a good formation

  • Comment removed

  • the most common formation is 4-4-2, 4-3-3

    sometimes is 3-4-3

    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
