- Hello! I'm an American on a quest to learn more about history, geography and the universe in general. In this video I finally get around to learning the rules of soccer/football, which hopefully sets me up to understand a little more when I watch an actual game.

Goalkeepers wear different colours to differentiate from their team mates according to FIFA rules (Federation Internationale de Football Association) ... footballs governing body.
You should take a look at Aston villa f.c they are a historically important team when comes to the formation of the first football league and the launch of the premier league. They had a bad few years recently but are on the upswing after fighting back after relegation to get back in the premier league then had to survive, then finished mid table this past season....they had a historical win over the champions Liverpool too
A tackle is when you play the ball. A foul is when you play the opponent. Please never
goalie. That's for kids. The keeper wears a different kit to help the refs. The shirts/ not jerseys, have to a different colour from everyone else, except from the other keeper.
Red cards can result in a player being suspended for the next 1, 2 or 3 matches depending on the severity of the sending off offence ... occasionally they can be appealed by the players club .
Red cards are vital. Because it helps the ref keep order. The threat of getting sent off and playing a player down stops people targeting the opponents. Like they do in ice hockey.
The offside law is there to prevent a team from "cherry-picking" and hanging around the goal. It encourages dribbling and passing to break down a defense.
Yep. Without the offside law, it would be a different sport. It's as important as the strike zone in baseball.
Yeah, once you have the ball you can go ahead and get past the defenders, it's just it can't be passed to you when you're already past them. Not certain, but I think it's also just the point in time when your team mate passes the ball, not when you receive it, so while risky, if your striker is faster than the opposition the team mate could send the ball ahead of the striker and beyond the defenders, and rely on the striker then being able to get past the defenders and to the ball before the defenders can get to it.
A rule that drives everyone mad especially when VAR interferes but the the game would ruined without it. Never heard it called cherry picking before. Always referred to it as goal mooching.
@@keithlangmead4098 Yes, it's at the point when the ball is passed not when it's received.
It would just be long ball boot. All strikers would hand around the opponents goal.
The different colour allows the referee to distinguish the goalkeeper so he can spot illegal handling.
But where do those uniforms come from? Can they pick any color they like, are there any rules? Do they have to be solid colors?
@@williams456 you usually have two uniforms in different colors so that when the other team arrives the goalie can appear completely different from both teams. There were times when I played that a goalie would have to change colors before the game because the other team was wearing that color. and yes they are usually solid colors or a solid color with a pattern. no white is allowed as the home team is usually wearing primarily white.
@@williams456 Yep. They can wear any color except the uniform of the field player. There are no specific rules for the color.
@@williams456 As far as I know they can choose any color, but it's always solid. I don't know if that's forced by the rules or if it's just the way they usually make it. The color however can't be the same or close to the same as any other shirt on the pitch. For example, in this video the teams were red and white. Therefore the keepers from both teams had to have other colors than red and white. It also shouldn't be the same as the other team's keeper. I think it also shouldn't be the same as the refs, but I'm not sure.
@@williams456 There is no specific rule. Before the game referee checks if the color is ok to be well distinguishable, if not he can order the goalie to change the shirt. Anyway usually the club provides three different colors which should be sufficient for every situation.
As for the goalie's colors:
a footbal pitch is very large, the ref has to be able to spot the goalkeeper at a distance so they try to make their colors as different as possible. That said many goalie's colors are often still linked in some ways to their teams, teams have a lot of colors to choose from and if we're talking about national teams then many many countries have a range of colors that represent their countries.
Like the italian team is famously light blue even if there's no blue at all in their flags and state colors
And dutch have orange , while their flag does not have orange.
@@jarmotolvanen9525 it's the colour of the royal family. If you understand Spanish or can read subtitles, there is a video about odd team colours you can watch by Pablo Molinari
Blue is the colour of Italy
It's the house of Savoy
@@jarmotolvanen9525 It used to have orange
It's from the count of orange, again historical
Dutch used to have orange on the flag
It's from the count of orange, again historical
Italy wears Blue because of the House of Savoy
Cyprus wears blue because of history
Germany wears black and white because of history
It is VERY EASY to see why countries wear the colours they wear
This matter has nothing to do with countries
the “offside” rule inhibits a striker to just stand inside the gol area waiting for passes the entire game. It is considered this would make the game unattractive . Offside rule forces the Strikers to retrete their position behind defence line if they don’t posses the ball. This forces the attack to strategically move the ball forward, making the game more attractive.
I'm fine with the offside rule, but for Americans who are not familiar with this kind of rule, our first thought is that we like to see scoring and there shouldn't be any rules that make it so difficult to score. :-) I think we would be more happy with a sport where 10-15 goals are normal instead of 2-5, lol.
I think the best argument for the rule is that, without it, the gameplay and strategy would be completely different, but it's difficult to imagine how.
@@99Stutz it would just be long ball after long ball untill someone scores and repeat. Whereas say basketball if you throw the ball near the basket constantly, it will likely reduce scoring as defensive team will have an adventage and the basket is so small, and the court is much smaller compared to soccer. The court being smaller also means if there was no offsides players would have to run anywhere from 10-15 miles a game apart from the gk. That just won’t be healthy :) Offside makes it so attackers have to actually think and not just stand at the goal
Man! What these recent videos about football/soccer have made me realize is how terrible these videos explaining the game and its structures are.
Yes, hard to do justice to the rules and ins and outs of any game in a 20ish minute video, really. Like the offside bit didn't mention cases where you can be beyond the last defender but not be offside.
@@thimbur3543 I don't agree. You just have to plan the story line.
Tbf it doesn’t seem like English is his first language (I may be wrong) so he is trying his best to explain.
The editing could be better but I think the explanation was good.
@@ishanparikh6966 it's not really throwing shade at this specific video but these explanation videos overall that leave out lots important points,imo it's better to just have some friend who understands the sport to explain it to you than a video which is meant to be a quick explanation which doesn't do Justice all rule and regulations of a certain sport(also why don't these people just google things they don't understand,i guess not the best thing to do but I googled lot of things about football)and a lot these video are made by people don't understand it or can't really explain it good
About how football fits into our culture, Bill Shankly summed it up well when he said-
“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.”

5:40 it literally is an official FIFA rule that the gk has to stand out from his teammates and the other team. This rule is in place to make the life of the ref easier
at first the goalie's equipment wasn't different to make the jobs of the referees easier, but because their wives had to wash their equipment by hand after each and every game because in the 1800s there were no washing machines, so they picked really neutral colors because the goalies were the ones with the dirtiest equipment at the end of the game from all the diving... so to make their wives' jobs easier they had a different color equipment, at least that's how I read it somewhere :D
I have lived in the States, played several sports in High School and watched some games during my time there and as I understand how Americans conceive sports, my advice to you would be to see football as a more flexible sport when it comes to strategy. American sports are built on fix plays where every player has a role, has to move in certain ways, almost like being on the right spot at the right time in order to receive the ball and move it on and the whole play depends on every player doing its part precisely. Like a clockwork. Kind of like in a military manner. Lots of rehearsed plays with code names and stuff like that. At least that's how it felt like for me. In football, although every team has a strategy there is still a lot of room for improvisation, and the mutual understanding between players is key. Nonetheless, the field is so big it is pointless to be so constrained. In general nobody calls for a "blue 42" and things like that. Let's say that the match goes with the flow. That's why it seems chaotic and pointless for the average American. I guess the more you watch it the more sense it'll make. I hope it helps.
Extra time and penalties are only in knockout tournaments
Yes, this wasn’t the best video, it’s littered with inaccuracies. They are mostly small, but it’s not ideal if you want to improve an understanding of the game.
It happens often, that a defence player attacks and scores. Sometimes even the goal keepers do so. They don't have to stick to an area by rule, it's just tactics.
And because the pitch is so big, you need different sets of skills, so typically everyone is good at something different (generic short answer)
It happens especially at corner and free kicks. Usually central defenders are tall, because they need to be strong and winning aerial duels, so they are strong in headers. Also at that set pieces you want as many players possible in the opponent's box to increase your chances of scoring a goal.
Usually, it's the wing-backs that score. Sergio Ramos is a great example from earlier in his career.
Adding to that: Especially central defenders are often tall and muscular so they have an advantage in the air at reaching the ball with their heads first. So you'll almost always see them rush to the opponents' penalty box when their team has a free kick or corner.
Basically: their goal is not threatened and there's a high chance their team is going to play the ball high into the penalty box. Headers are their specialty, so they're an important offensive tool in those situations.
As soon as the situation is over, they'll rush back and reassume their defensive role.
And when the goal keeper is rushing to the opponents side, it's usually an despairing attempt to avoid a defeat in the last minutes of the match.
One more thing about goalkeepers. They can't use there hands if his team kicks the ball back to him
Or if their team take a throw-in to him.
The goalkeeper, however, can pick up the ball if it is directed to him by a teammate using another part of the body, most commonly, with the head or chest.
Not the entire story. If the goalkeeper touches the ball with his foot after his teammate kicks it to him, he can pick up the ball afterwards with his hands. You see goalkeepers do this regularly when playing for time, their teammates pass the ball to them, they wait for an opponent to come close and just pickup the ball.
@@HellDuke- This is absolutely not the case. The only time a keeper can pick the ball up if one of his team kicked it last is if it was not an intentional backpass. The keeper cannot control a deliberate backpass with their foot and then pick it up.
@@HellDuke- Sorry but you're just wrong. Don't confuse people if you don't know the rules.
Unlike some sports, the 'positions' are fairly fluid (apart from the goalkeeper). It is not unknown for defenders to score and similarly forwards will move back to support the defence so 'zones' are not the rigid structure that the diagram might have suggested.
Corner kicks are especially valuable because the attacking team has control of the ball right in front of the goal. A good kick will put the ball right on the heads of the attackers so it just needs a small nod to put it in the goal. The goalkeeper is hard pressed because the attackers are right on top of him so reaction times are short.
30 minutes extra time and penalty shoot outs are only used in knock out tournaments like the World Cup where you need to have a winner for every game. In league competitions you just have the 90 minutes plus any stoppage time that the referee has added for injuries. If it's a draw then it's a draw and the teams get 1 point each.
The offside rule--which is notoriously difficult to spot accurately as a spectator because you are generally watching the player with the ball--is intended to stop attackers basically just hanging around the goal on the off chance a ball might come their way. Remember that a good kick could push the ball pretty much the length of the pitch so the defence would also be tied up watching this resident of their goal area. This would run counter to the intention of the game which is to be free flowing.
As I mentioned, keeping track of players being off-side is difficult as the attention is typically on the player with the ball. This is where the two assistant referees (formerly called linesmen) come in. One of their duties is to particularly monitor off-side players. They will often keep close to the line of the most rearward defenders putting them in a much better position to judge. Their other main role is to indicate when the ball goes out of play and which team is awarded the throw in. They carry flags to indicate infringements or who has possession when the ball goes out of play. The referee may also go over to consult with the assistant refs when, for example, his view of an incident was obstructed. Ultimately, however, the referee is the sole judge and assistants technically only offer advice.
In the video there was a fourth referee (usually just called the fourth official). These are usually only employed in higher level matches where they supervise substitutions etc. At the highest levels there may are be video assistant referees who will, if requested by the referee, review the video footage to determine, for example, whether the ball crossed the goal line when the referee was not able to see clearly. Many people dislike the video referees because it means stopping play while the referee waits for advice which breaks the flow of action.
nice summary, but still a bit of incorrect info here.
Even the goalkeeper's position is fluid, they just usually don't use it (quite risky, but you do see some go to a corner, etc)
VAR isn't there to determine goal, that is a different technology, which automatically pings the referee's watch if the ball goes over the line (I assume using something magnetic). The VAR is there to help to decide in case of potential penalty, potential red card and potential offside (the later one is stupid, as they let the game go on for a minute after...)
Yeah exactly it's fluid just depends on what the manager wants
The offside rule makes alot of sense actually, the game would be horrible without it
Cherry picking is the term.
Offside LAW NOT rule.

17:08 The added 30 mins and Penalty shootout only happens if it's an elimination game and it's a tie. Regular league games will end at 90 mins regardless of the result.
the added 30 minutes are quite rare now. Many competitions go straight to penalties nowadays, while a decade ago they would have the added 30 minutes.
@@rogeriopenna9014 Actually I only remember one that whent directly to penaltys. Most do the extra time.
@@rogeriopenna9014 not at all, most knockout games will go to extra time.
Even rarer was the golden goal rule. That's when in extra time (the extra 30 mins) the first team to score wins the match. Penalties occur if no "golden goal" is scored. Last used in Euro '96. The final was actually won by a 95th minute golden goal by Germany. (5th min of the extra 30)
@@rogeriopenna9014 Do you even watch soccer?
One reason why goal keeper wear a completely different colour is because of how big the pitch is. Teams are constantly trying to find their own teammates in shorter or longer distances so not getting confused with other players is really important. And since the opponent's goalkeeper has so many advantages like the ability to use hands and better protection against fouls, identifying the opposite side goalkeeper from far away becomes an important aspect so that when doing long passes, they can avoid the goalkeeper.
The off side rule, that seems to be a little unfair, is really a good rule because as the field is so, so large, an attacking player can easily slip into the opponent area without no one notice and receive a long pass, getting an unfair advantage because in a one on one situation with the goalkeeper is, most of the time, goal.
Here the skills to overpass defenders is rewarded.
to summarise all of your current and future questions on jersey colours:
there are 4 kits for each team
-home kit
-away kit
-third kit
-goalkeeper kit
when ur playing at home you always wear your home kit. when you are away from home, you still wear your home kit as long as your opponents (who are at home) home kit are not similar to your home kit. if both kits are similar and there might be a risk of confusing who is on which team, the team that is away wears the away kit instead (remember - the home team always wears the home kit). now if your away kit is still similar to their home kit, you wear the third kit.
examples: in chelsea's journey to champions league victory there were 3 kits used by outfield players. the royal blue (home), the lighter blue (away) and the blue + pink (third). and the goalkeeper wears green
"but what if all 3 kits are similar to the home teams' kit???"
then whoever designed the 3 kits should get sacked imo cus that aint supposed to happen
hope this isnt too confusing
Even though many teams use third kits (occasionally even more kits), they are not needed and not all teams have them.
Perfectly not confusing to a brit/European lol
@James well to non football fans it might be
The third kit actually is no need, is just a commercial idea in order to sell more shirts to theyr fans :)
@@sandrogattorno4962 no but there are some kits that are too similar so a third kit is necessary
'Keepers wear different colours so they can easily be identified as the legitimate goalkeeper by the referee. They are the only ones allowed to use their hands (and then, only in their boxed area).
Fun fact, referees (at least in Germany) are shown all of the kits used by both teams including the goalies' kits before the game so they can choose which of the ref kit colours is far enough away from the players' kits so they also don't get confused
Not to mention that they are protected; inside that first square they are essentially an untouchable god, the offensive team is not allowed to block him, or even go for the ball when he has the ball even reasonable locked, while at the same time, the keeper is perfectly allowed to bulldoze said offensive players out of the way to get to the ball, as long as those players don't have the ball.
No idea if it actually works but I read that they choose bright colours/crazy patterns for the goalkeepr because it enlarges their presence in the goal.
not true.
Goalies have different coloured outfits because the referee needs to be able to distinguish the keepers from the other players, because different rules apply to them.
But also to avoid very confusing situations. It's important for both the attacking and the defending team to know where the keeper is, and players often have to make very quick decisions, and having the keeper look like the regular players will cause confusion and unnecessary mistakes.
And there are no specific colours, the clubs get to choose whatever they want. And this will be a different colour every season. I often wonder how they choose the colours, I actually don't know either. It could just be completely random.
There are no requirements, only that the outfit is different enough to the ones worn by either team on the field. That also means they don't have one possible outfit to choose from, but two or three. If the keeper has a blue outfit, but the opponent that day also has a blue outfit, he will need to wear another outfit that day, with a different colour.
Fun fact: studies have been done on the effects of the colour worn by the keeper, and it appears that bright colours are slightly advantageous, because attacking players seem to have a slightly bigger tendency to shoot the ball more towards the keeper when the keeper is very visible and he really stands out. Therefore making it a bit easier for the keeper to stop the ball.
But I don't know if the effect was found to be big enough for it to actually really make a difference. But I do think it's interesting, from a psychological point of view, how we as humans, when having to act quickly, aim more towards something that is bright and stands out.
I'd suggest reacting to 'Jorge Campos' The goalkeeper who would leave his goal and attack, all the way to the opponents' goal.
Yup. His free kicks were amazingly accurate.
the offside rule was made because without it, an attacking player can just stay near the opponent goal the hole match just waiting for the ball and it would be very difficult for the defense.
It wouldn't even be it would be long ball boot
Yeah a football pitch is a lot bigger than a basketball court, so play works very differently. In the Five-a-side form of the game there is no offside rule.
Worse than that; it would mean no team can really go on the offense, because there's those attackers standing in the goal area. Result would be a boring with long to the front; so the offside rule was created to force creativity, dribbling and passing.
'Offside LAW'
@@LondonEd 😴 Irrelevant
When taking a penalty shot at goal all players have to be outside the penalty area (the larger of the two boxes in front of the goal. Also all players have to be at least 10 yards from the ball and that arc you saw on the penalty area denotes a 10 yard radius from the penalty spot. Glad to see you enjoying our sport. I can’t wait for you to watch a rugby or a cricket match. Hope you are keeping well.
You hit the nail on the head about the different coloured shirt for the goal keeper - to stand out. They usually, however, wear the same colour socks.
The answer for “Why do goalkeepers always wear different shirts than players?”:
It’s a coincidence because I thought about this before and the reason that goalkeepers wear different colours because of 2 reasons:
1: If you notice that goalkeepers always wear light and bright colours light green, blue, red, orange, yellow,… you name it. Because it helps the referee to easily indicate that who is the goalkeeper and it also helps the audience to recognize the goalkeeper and avoid getting confused with the players.
2: Some football(“soccer” if you are American 🇺🇸) clubs have sponsors and they use the colour that matches with the sponsors to indicate the brand of that sponsor.
3:this is optional but goalkeepers can choose the colour that they want to wear that it’s different than the colour of the players but mostly goalkeepers allow the manager football club(soccer if you are American 🇺🇸) to decide the primary colour for the goalkeeper.
P.S: I got you for that question 😄!!!
The goalkeeper choosing the colour usually is true, the team i support had a legendary goal keeper that used a orange-ish yellow shirt in the 80's, now the actual goalkeeper wore yellow in 2018 and he fell in love with the colour and use it in every important game but in regular matches usually the second keeper (or third) keeper uniform is used for selling propose
some answers on tackles:
you dont always get cards for tackles. most tackles were made with legitimate intention to go for the ball and not to injury or hurt a player. but if u go for the ball but u are nowhere near the ball and u hit the guy u might get a card. it also depends on how sever the foul is. for example u could go for the ball and accidentally step on your opponent, drilling your studs into the guys foot or ankle, that is more serious that normal. you could get a yellow for that. or if you stretch your leg out to control a high ball and u hurt someone in the face or neck that could be a yellow or even red. (example: bayern vs ajax czcams.com/video/8vGX9iIvT58/video.html )
if you touch the ball first then the opponent it doesnt count as a foul as long as the player isnt seriously hurt by it (there are other factors but its not made clear to most people) example: chelsea vs man city czcams.com/video/2-IyEIjva3s/video.html
but if you touch the opponent before the ball you get penalised
these are only a few answers and they arent that in depth but i hope that helps (also i made another comment on jersey kits since u seemed confused by the colours and whether the players chose what they wore)
oh and to add on to the offside rule once your mate passes to you when ur not offside you can run past the defenders and into an offside position anyway (example: chelsea vs man city czcams.com/video/5OQt-iry72I/video.html&ab_channel=F7NATIONSF7NATIONS )
yes, and since the goal of that rule is to not allow players occupying the opponent's goal and wait for the ball :-) all these offline rules only apply in the opponent's half of the entire field. and they also apply only when passing the ball forward (and only the moment of kicking the ball forward counts). thus if the player with the ball is right next to the goalline or at a corner kick, no player can be offside. sometimes when two players run towards the opponent's goal, you can see them passing the ball back and forth between each other, but either only slightly backwards, or forwards only when the player with the ball is nearer to the goal than the other one who then does a sprint to the ball.
since most of the time the goalkeeper is in the goal, most people think that the rule only speaks of one opponent who has to be between the receiving player and the goal, while it really is more general, requiring any two players (eg if the goalkeeper goes more forward, away from the goal). this often also leads to the "offside trap", when all players of the defending team suddenly make a step forward to bring the attackers (that don't have the ball yet) in an offside position.
It is also important to know that really good defenders (of the likes of Philip Lahm) are able to steal a ball away without touching another player. It is a skill.
16:36 - its to prevent a single player camping on the opposite penalty box and why offsides can only count on the opposition half so not every player gets to push forward too. You are rewarded for timing passes right its only the moment when the ball gets kicked that counts
The small "D" or arc just outside the penalty area.. is measured 10 yards from the penalty spot where no players can enter while the kick is being taken..
The extra minutes that they add to the first and second half to prevent players have intentional to buy some time or make the time go sooner like false injury, dangerous tackle or collision between players or players have an altercation with each other. Those actions could receive a yellow card for warning ⚠️ or a red card ⛔️ to the suspense that individual player/coach for that game and the next match!!!
P.S: If this is confusing to you, wait for you to hear “first extra and second extra half”. This only happens if that is a qualified match and it needs to have a winner and a loser but after 90 mins and the score is a draw, then 2 extra halftime will be added. Each extra half is 15 mins and after the first extra half ends. Teams only have a few minutes to get hydrated or talking about strategy with the coach then both teams continue the second extra time. 45+45+15+15=120 mins. After 120 mins and the match hasn’t decided the winner yet then we will have the penalty shootout where skills and luck need to have. Yeah, I’m saying “Luck”!!! It’s nerve-wracking when a player takes a penalty shootout.
The offside rule is designed to stop teams just leaving players stood in the box and booting it up to them. You have to think about your positioning and time your passes.
Anyone can go anywhere, for example at 92:00 minutes into a game you might even see the goalkeeper run all the way up the pitch for a corner because they are really tall.
1. Another thing about subs, if you use them all and then a player gets injured, you cannot make another substitution and have to play with fewer players.
2. The goalies wear a different colour to distinguish them from the outfield players because they can handle the ball in the area. Makes it easier for the ref. Green is the traditional goalie colour, but these days they wear all sorts.
3. At kick-off, you can have more than one person in the area, but no opposition players.
4. Any player can run anywhere (even the goalies), but generally you have areas of responsibility. The guys who move the least are the central defenders, but the wide defenders (fullbacks) also attack a lot (especially in the modern game). Usually, central defenders are tall and good at heading, so they go up to attack for corners.
5. Yes, you got the basics with the 433. There are many formations, but basically they are all looking for a balance between attack and defence. Many formations these days try to get more people into midfield to control possession of the football, so often only play with one striker. There is usually always at least one midfielder whose job is to be more defensive.
6. A goalie can take the ball outside the box, he just can't touch it with his hands. Once a goalie leaves the box, they become like any other player.
7. A tackle is just an attempt to win the ball from the other player by using your feet.
8. Over the past couple of decades they have really tightened the rules up on tackling. It used to be that nay contact first on the ball was considered a good tackle. That is still generally the case, but now if the ref considers it to be using 'excessive force' or 'reckless', even if you win the ball first and then contact the player, you can still give away a foul or even get a card.
9. Free-kicks are not scored 'most of the time', but they are dangerous.
10. The generally ration you hear for scoring penalties is 4 out of 5.
11. For offside, technically there needs to be a minimum of two defensive players between you and the goal when the ball is passed forward to you. However, one of those players is almost always the goalie. Very occasionally, if the goalie comes running out, does a situation occur that seems onside because there was a defender back, but was actually offside because there was only one defender. As I said, this is very rare, so don't worry about it. Just something to bear in mind.
12. Yeah, your view of offside will change as you watch more football. If you took offside out of the game, the entire structure of football would change.
13. Only play extra-time if it is a draw in a cup competition. In a league game, the match finishes after 90mins. If it is a draw, each team gets one point.
14. We do have set-plays, like corners and free-kicks, but they are not that complicated.
15, Finally, the best thing to do is just watch football and listen to what the pundits say in the studio, as they often talk about formations and tactics.
What wasn't explained in the video about the offside rule is that the player must be behind the opponent at the point that the pass is made (in other words when it is kicked, at the time the player receives the ball he is allowed to be ahead of the defenders) so the passes are made into the space that the player will be in. A long pass into the open space when your team mate is accelerating faster than the defensive line is very effective.
17:11 ... The thirty (2x15) minutes extra time and penalty shootout is only in tournaments where you have to find a winner of the match. Not in ordinary league matches.
Can someone show this to the England coach before tonight’s game kicks off. He clearly needs a refresher course. It’s never too late to learn. And ask him why he won’t pick Sancho.
I asked him. He said that he had to play a team of 8 right backs

Your videos are so entertaining to watch, I live in the Netherlands and I play football myself as well, but it’s very interesting and entertaining to watch you learn more and more about this amazing sport!

That little half-circle/oval at the edge of the 16-meter area (the second rectangle around the goal) is legacy. A century or so ago, football, like field hockey, had penalty corners. A certain number of attacking players had to be on the inside or just on the outside of that oval; the penalty corner itself would be taken halfway to the corner flag from the 16m area and had to be played to the players at that oval.
Oddly enough, despite it being called "penalty corner" a foul was not the only thing that could produce the penalty corner, and much like in Field Hockey you had inexplicable halt of the game to take a such a penalty corner. A vast majority of the people playing, watching and organizing football matches did not like this, and so penalty corners were removed from the game.
But that oval had already achieved immediately recognizable status as a football field, and so it continued to be painted on. Up until recently the little stripes into the field at the midway point where the penalty were to be taken, were also always still painted; it's only in the past 1 to 2 decades where painting that penalty corner ball point became optional; some do it, others don't.
So that oval shape is there, but it doesn't have any rules associated to it anymore.
As a lifelong English football fan, I have learnt something today. Thanks!
03:30 Every time we think we've learned how dystopian the US attitude towards commercials/adverts is, we learn another worse aspect to it :D I can see why it was Americans who pioneered on-demand TV like Netflix just to get away from the adverts!

There are only 4 major rules in football:
1st rule: "Der Ball ist rund und ein Spiel dauert 90 Minuten“ > "The ball is round and a game lasts 90 minutes"
2nd rule: "Das Runde muss ins Eckige." > "The round must go into the square."
3rd rule: "Nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel." > "After the game is before the game."
4th rule: "Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win."
The first 3 quotes are from Sepp Herberger, a famous german player and coach and the last quote is from Garry Lineker, a famous English player.
By the way you have a very nice chanel. I'm glad i discovered it yesterday by accident. You've got a new subscriber :-)
😂
yep, one of my fav quote :D "Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win." Even though it is not true as of now
As a Brazilian, my advice is that you should talk to someone who can help you with some of your questions... In the videos that you're watching they are giving you some details without context, so is difficult for you to understand...
For instance, when the guy said that, when we have a tie, the matches have 30 minutes more, and if it persists they have penalties, is true only for "cup" like championships..
Regarding some of your questions from this and other videos:
- The goalkeeper uniform colors don't follow a "rule" - they can use any color and the color is defined by the uniform seller market and design team (like Nike, adidas). In fact, the teams have a main uniform color, a second one (generally defined by the colours of the club) and a third one, that is for marketing purposes.
- The quarter of the circle that is placed in the front of the goalkeeper box is there to work as a distance limiter from the penalty mark. In fact, for all of the free kicks, the players from the other team must be 9 meters away from the ball. When you have a penalty, that circle determines the 9m distance from the penalty mark.
- the player positions are not static, so there are actions in the game where the defenders are going to the attack, but for most of the time they should be in their zone
- yes, the offensive actions in football are called attack
- The offside was created to prevent players to wait in the other teams areas to receive the ball alone. It makes the game more difficult for the players (and for the expectations too), but you get used to it after some time
- now we have a video revision for some specific actions in the game, in the major leagues around the world, called VAR. The videos that you saw didn't mentioned it.
- the euro 2020 is a competition between European national teams, and it happens every four years, like the world cup. The current one should have happened last year. The champions league is a club competition, and it happens every year.

As many commenters have already posted, the offside rule is actually what makes football exciting. Contrary to your view, the offside rule in fact rewards the players who can "synchronize" their attacks (or defensive adjustment) to extremely high precision. This makes it imperative to use combination of vision, speed, timing and guile to score or prevent scoring. It takes away the lazy style of scoring by just having big, tall burly persons stand close to the goals waiting for long passes and push his/her way to goal poaching. It also prevents the annoying and unimaginative style of defending by packing the penalty box with 10 players helping the goalie keep the opponents from scoring. When you have the time or inclination, watch more videos on midfield maestros like Michael Laudrup, Xavi, Pirlo, Zidane, etc... and just marvel at how they can spot a player about to get into a scoring position 25 m (30+ yards..basically the length of a basketball court) and make an assist BEFORE the player even runs.
Think of it in basketball as a fast break. Except that the pass was executed at the opposite end of the court and directed to a scoring spot near the opponent's basket before your teammate gets there. Quite special right?
9:05 - yes and no there are variations of the tactics overall but that is more complex. 4-3-3 is an offensive tactic for the reasons you said however like every other tactic there is a defensive 4-3-3, a standard 4-3-3 and an attacking 4-3-3 the latter being displayed. The numbers normally refer to the number of players covering a certain part of the field from the back to the front
Wingers ?
I was going to say something like this. 4-3-3 is not necessarily more attacking. It depends on the players and how they are asked to play. For example, Jose Mourinho pioneered the 4-3-3 in the Premier League, but he is considered a more defensive minded manager. The positions are very fluid in football, any player can go anywhere on the pitch, and formations change depending on if the team is attacking or defending. That’s one of the reasons people love it so much - infinite variation in tactics and playing styles.
the 30mn and the penalty shootout is just in a cup situation

#05:47 answer is simple. Different colours identifies goalkeepers . Those colours means "They are goalkeeper, so they can use their hands in their area".
Understanding formations (like 4-4-2) is important to give you an idea of the structure of the game, but there's a lot of nuance and depth to formation. Formation is often mixed with tactics, for example, a defending/counterattacking team may have a 4-4-2, but most of the players will be sitting back on the pitch in their own territory defending. This stretches the opposing team out while they're attacking trying to penetrate our defense leaving them vulnerable for quick counter attacks down the pitch. Often, formations will intentionally change depending on whether a team is attacking or defending. Managers will give each players specific and general "responsibilities" in different game states.
What makes this game so beautiful is the 4D chess inside simple objectives. Singularly, a player needs to perfect his own job. But even better, is when all the players on a team perfect their own jobs and also instinctively know what the jobs of all their teammates are. This is represented in beautiful plays, for example, where it looks like 3-4 players are attacking, making runs, passing and shooting in split seconds as if they know exactly where their teammate is GOING to be and what their teammate is going to do before the first player even passes the ball. On top of that, this singular player needs to research the other team and know exactly what they're doing/trying to do as well and be a step ahead.
Once you've learned all the basics and are ready for an intermediate/advanced way of learning the game, find a couple games on CZcams (even better with wide camera angles) and try to pick a player (usually a midfielder is easiest) and watch that player specifically. What is he doing when the balls not around him? What position is he moving towards when his team has possession? Where is he going when his team loses possession? Then, of course, what are his tendencies when he gets the ball? Is he skilled on the ball, attacks and takes on players himself? Or is skilled at passing and moving the play forward? Or is this player skilled at recovering possession by attacking opposing ball carriers and forcing turnovers?
You'll quickly learn all the differences even in positions. With forwards, for example, sometimes he's the guy that's always attacking in the box trying to get his head/foot on everything and turn it towards goal. Sometimes they're the forward on a defensive/counterattacking team and he's responsible for holding and not losing possession and linking up with his other teammates that are rushing ahead of him.
7:43 - the 11 players can be anywhere anytime however yes this is mostly practiced because its simply more effective, the exception is for free kicks or corners for the defenders to come up because they are normally taller (like the center position in basketball for example)

There's so many different formation variations for defence, midfield & attack/strikers: 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 5-3-2, 4-2-4, 4-4-2. It doesn't really matter as long as there's 1 goalkeeper & 10 outfield players. It's about tactics: 4-3-3 for example, the 3 in midfield can play wide to support the attacking wingers but mostly stay in the middle, the 3 attackers in front of the midfield are the main threat coming in from the sides called wingers/wing-ers (wingers run up and down the sides also known as the wings/flanks of the pitch). Attacking wingers run down the side to cross the ball into the box for the strikers, defensive wingers defend the wings against the opposition attacking wingers, the defensive wingers are a part of the 4 defenders. Left Back (LB), Center Back (CB), Centre Back (CB), Right Back (RB). LB & RB are the defensive wingers that run down to the halfway line to support the attackers but can run further to cross the ball into the opposition box & run back to stop the other team attacking
It used to be a tradition that most goalkeepers wore green shirts as very few teams wore green (referees also used to wear black for the same reason).
With the advent of television coverage becoming the norm, rather than an occasional thing, teams now tend to have three shirts (Home, Away, and Third kit) as a means to ensure they don't clash with their opponents' colours - and goalkeepers tend to have kits in all sorts of colours, that just have to be distinct from their team's kits and that of the opposition.
Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos used to wear some really wild kits - he also would often switch at half-time to playing up front as a striker - the manager would substitute an outfield player out for a second goalkeeper to free him up to do so...
There are some minor inaccuracies with this. I don’t know how old the video is, but there are enough for me to be unable to correct them all.
The Football League was founded in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. It originally consisted of a single division of 12 clubs (Accrington, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Derby County, Everton, Notts County, Preston North End, Stoke (now Stoke City), West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers), known as The Football League. When the League admitted additional members from the rival Football Alliance in 1892, it was split into two divisions.I'm originally from Birmingham in England aka Brum.

Anyone can go forward and take shots to score a goal. When it comes to defenders, full or wingbacks are notorious for pushing forward towards the other team's box, providing width, or another passing lane, or to add numbers when pressuring the defense, etc.. Midfielders too can push forward, archetypes like the attacking midfielder (provide passing options, make plays, add numbers in the box), box-to-box midfielders (helping both attack and defense), and wingers (just similar to fullbacks, but are more free to attack) are some example. However, if they push forward to attack, they must ensure that they are safely doing it. Wrong timings can allow opponents to exploit space, create chances, or to counter-attack.
7:57 that actually depends a lot on the freedom the coach gives them, the situation, and also the player himself. I know a couple of center backs who basically become strikers in the last minutes when their team is down 😅
The keeper doesn’t get to choose what colours he wears. When the kit makers (Adidas, Nike etc) design a kit, they design the keeper’s kit too. Keepers can choose to wear long pants instead of shorts, as they do a lot of standing around and could get cold, especially during the winter, although not many do, and also wear a cap if they’re facing the sun
I worked for an Adidas contractor and i can tell you that this it's no entirely true... i.e. we have in our colour palette 25 tones of green named Kahn (for Oliver Kahn) because he design it's oun kits and they were especially picky with the colors and tones... Another goalkeper famous for design it's own kits and also famous for make the very colourfuls was Jorge Campos. Goalkepers at least famous ones or the ones playing in big teams are welcome to make it's own designs, simply most of them don't bother to do it and pick a generic design of the company... usually they don't even care to pick the colours... but that's they choice. Sometimes they pick what they want and it's very especific like the former goalkeper from FC Barcelona, Zubizarreta, who allways insists in play with a plain dark green jersey, or if green can be confused with a team, they pick allways sky blue at his second colour, also plain design.
@@lordmordred33 We need to see the return of all those crazy keepers kits from the 90s
@@ianp1986 it's funny, if you don't make the kits... the reason for we have 25 tones of light green Kahn it's because they don't like to play with one colour if they loosed a match wearing it... so, yeah return to crazy kits, but only if the Gk it's not to much supersticious or don't loose too often LOL
I played goalkeeper and always assumed that wearing long pants, or super long socks, was because they're throwing themselves into the ground all the time, so the contact and friction with the grass is made more comfortable with pants, at least in my case
The keeper does get to choose the colour they wear (although perhaps in conjunction with the team management). All the kit manufacturers provide apparel in a multitude of colours and a team or keeper can choose from any colour that's available.
You need to react to The tactics like:
Total football, Catenaccio, tiki taka, ……
or just react to anything about Sir Alex Ferguson.
Defenders can attack and even go on to score - normally one of the midfielders will drop back to cover defence. Tactics can be fluid or rigid, depending on how the coach sets them up.
6:02 No, goalkeepers don't choose their kits. Usually, the kit supplier prepares the set of few kits for the GKs (I guess sometimes the first choice keeper may influence what those look like, but it's mostly between the kit manufacturer and the team) . During the match those have to be different from the colors the refs are wearing obviously. Goalies used to choose what they are wearing e. g. Lev Yashin in 1950s wearing all black and goalies from the 80s wearing colorful patterns to visually distract opposing attackers, but now it's more of a business thing between teams and kit suppliers
The First rule of Soccer is IT'S CALLED FOOTBALL.
The Goal Line is called The By Line; the Goal Line is the part of the By Line that runs between the Goal Posts.
The Goalkeeper dresses completely from the rest of the two teams players so they they standout from every other play because they can use their hands.
The Kick-off, (in this example) White can have as many players as they lick in their half of the Centre Circle, Red can not encroach within 10 yards of the Centre Spot (the radius of the circle).
The area of operation are not fixed. Anyone can go anywhere, anyone can score even the Goalkeeper.
The Defensive line tends to operate from the By-Line to the Halfway-Line, The Midfield between the two Penalty Areas and the Strikers in the opposition half. The two fullbacks, the two on the ends of the defensive line operate the whole length of the field along the wings; overlapping the two midfielders ahead of them. The two Centre Backs will enter the opposition Penalty Area for Corner Kicks because they are usually good at heading the ball.
For a Goal to be scored the ball must be wholly over the line, that is no part of the should encroach on the line. If any part of the ball is over / above / on the line then it is deemed to be still in play. This is true of the By-Line (Goal Kicks, Corner Kicks) and the Side-Lines (Throw Ins).
The Goalkeeper can only handle the ball inside the Penalty Area but can take the ball outside it and kick to a team mate.
The Curved line of the Penalty Area is to keep players away from the ball during a Penalty Kick. All Dead Ball kicks (Kick-Off, Corner Kicks, Free Kicks and Penalty Kicks) the opposition must not come within 10 yards of the ball until the ball is kicked; hence the "D".
For Knock-Out tournaments there maybe two periods of 15 minutes before a Penalty Shoot-out.
Not the best instructional video you could have found.
I agree with most of your post, however, it's actually backwards about the byline. The Goal Line is the whole line. The Byline is the part of the goal line outside of the posts. To score a goal the ball must pass the goal line between the posts and under the crossbar.
@@dannyfloresbo That's what I wrote. The Video calls the whole of the end line the Goal line, and I wrote that "Goal Line" is called the By Line, and Goal Line is part of the By Line that runs between the posts.
@@eddiegaltek And that is not correct. The whole line is the Goal Line. The byline is the part of the Goal Line that is not between the posts.
The offside rule is designed to stop "goal hanging" - where an opposing player "hangs" around the opposing teams goal in the event one of his teammates simply hammers the ball down the field for him to scoop up and score a goal. If you ever watch school kids play football they often do this because they think the teacher will ignore the violation. But in a serious game it's a must. The offside rule forces goal hangers out of the goal and let's the defence move forward too.
Hello, SoGal!
Here in Brazil, most of the kids starts to play football as child-play, in a wasteland state or even in the middle of the street (if is a very-low-traffic street). Usually they use just two bricks as "goal poles" (sometimes, even flip-flop slippers are used to that). The ball could be a goog one bought in a proper sports shop, a cheap one bought in a small suburb "many-different-things" shop or even an improvised (makeshift) one, made of paper, mud, cloth pieces, plastic bags, rubber bands, strings and son on. In old times, in the countryside, the most common were the balls made of pork bladders. The rules are very, very simple and can change a lot from city to city, age to age, even child "gang" to child "gang". The most important rule is the joy of playing! And this is the very source of most of the biggest brazilian, hispano-american and african players.
If you are interested in goalkeeper uniforms, check out Jorge Campos. He was a keeper for México in the 90s. His uniforms are very extravagant to say the least. On top of that, he doubled as a field player when the team needed him to.
Without offside, you would have attackers just camping in the opponents penalty area for the whole game and it would make the game boring.
yeah it would be a weird looking game of football lol
the offside rule was designed to keep the game competitive because otherwise you would have a player around the penalty box at all times and the chances of it being a team game decrease due to the player always being near the goal. This also acts as a catalyst to improve the players and the tactics involved withing a game.
The 30 minutes Extra Time (ET for short) is only in the event of competition where a winner has to be decided in that single game. if there is no winner in that time it goes to penalties (pens for short). there was a time that 3 differences for the extra time existed which were normal- were the 30 mins were played no matter what (2 halves of 15mins), silver goal- if one team scores in the half, the other team has to score to keep the game going and have there chance of winning so if a team scores with no goal from the opponent at the end of the half the team that did score wins, and then there is Golden goal- the first team to score in extra time straight up wins.
Regarding formations - because players don't necessarily have to stay in one position, the formations can be kind of fluid - so, for example, a formation might start off as 5-4-1 (it's always in the order Defence/midfield/attack), but once the team has the ball, if the wide defenders (full-backs) push forward, and the wide midfielders also do the same to support the striker, this can easily move to becoming a 3-4-3 formation in attack. Once the team loses the ball, if the team can't win it back quickly, they then drop back into the 5-4-1 to protect the goal again.
You also see people use formations such as 3-2-3-1-1, Tis would suggest you have three out-and-out defenders, two players in defence who also support attacks, three men in the midfield, one deep-lying attacker (to link between midfield and attack) and one outright striker...
12:20 - Yes its very different from american football. But tackling essentially means taking the ball away from the opposite ball carrier

A player's position is usually chosen early in their career, based on their abilities and skills. Passing, shooting, running, physical presence, hight... etc etc...
It's so difficult to describe, yet so simple too.
In soccer you will always see taller players playing sweeper and stopper ( when you play with a man back and one infront, old style of playing but still very useful because you always have a man behind everyone else just in case). We don't see it much because everyone now plays the position as a skill position, but in the past, we would constantly switch positions, especially if you are assigned to guard a player (for example a coach will tell one of his players to tail Messi or Ronaldo) for the whole game. On fouls, corners, or any free play, you will always send your tallest players to win that air game, the headers, so if the stikers are short then they will switch with the taller players so the taller players have a better chance of scoring.
Next time that you a soccer game, you will notice on every foul or corner, all the taller players will go play the air ball; if the ball goes out or the goalie gets it, you will see them sprint back to their positions.
This video (meaning the one you're reacting too) isn't great as its relatively fast-pace, missed a lot of details and skimmed over many concepts that non-football fans would require more clarification on to get a fuller and correct understanding. The dude in the video seemingly didn't script anything (which would of helped a tonne) and this lead to a lack of structure and hence my, and I suspect many others criticisms of the video you reacted too.
For some clarity on some points, when talking about a formation, the numbers need to add up to ten (as the goal keeper is assumed). And when one is said or written the first number indicates the players closest to the goal they are defending and the last number is the players furthers away from their defensive goal. So in the video the 4-4-2 example was good. 4 defenders followed by 4 midfielders followed by 2 strikers.
The 4-3-3 "Attacking" example however, to someone new to this was a bit deceiving. So in a typical non-adjusted standard 4-3-3, 4 defenders, 3 midfielders and 3 attackers. I use the word attackers because in that attacking line, the central player will likely be a striker and the two other players will be known as wingers or wide-forwards (forward=attacker) and those 2 provide more passing options for the striker to get the ball and score a goal (although this is a simplification, all 3 players are very unlikely to all be strikers, although all have license to score goals as attacking players). In the video the "attacking" term is used to describe the orientation of the midfield players and not the attacking players (which is where some confusion may be). So in the video in the 4-3-3 example the middle player of the midfield line was further away from his own goal and closer to the attackers. This players position is known as a Central Attacking Midfielder (hence why the 4-3-3 attacking formation is named thusly). His job is help the attackers more than the other midfielders in very simple terms. Formations and positions can get ALOT more complex than this but for now the 4-4-2 and the 4-3-3 and their slight variations are the most common ways teams set up their players.
For the goalkeeper shirt colours, its much easier for everyone to see them when its crowded in their box when say a corner is happening, makes life easier to watch for officials, spectators and TV audiences.
Fouls are mostly well done in this video for showing what IS a foul. Just by watching a game you'll be able to tell quickly and lots of fouls happen a game its dead easy to learn. What I would say is that the video missed a key point of clarity when a good tackle is made and no foul is given and play is uninterrupted. Again the following point of clarity will lack some nuance, but 90% of the time if the defending player hits the ball FIRST when an attacking player has it and wins the ball it isn't a foul. The key word his is first, the defending player needs to touch the ball before making significant contact with the attacking player, otherwise it will be deemed a foul. The point of clarity here is FIRST and fouls in football can often be less cut and dry than this, again watching games and watching the slow-mo replays you get sense for it. Fouls are often a good source of talking points about a given game. Some have differing opinions on what is deemed a foul. Some criticise the referee for giving a foul when they feel it shouldn't be etc, but again watch games, listen to commentators and you'll get good idea in no time at all.
Offside: Now then...
Offside aren't as necessarily complicated as some make out. Like fouls, some offside calls can be contentious and not always clear but for the most part they work like this. If the attacking player is between the defending goalkeeper and the closest to the goal line defender then that player is in a offside position and if the ball is passed to that player and the player attempts to play the ball (i.e. no ignoring it completely) then a offside foul is called, and the defending team gets a free-kick.
Offside pretty much that simple, the confusion lies when the players pass to space behind the oppositions defence for their attacking player to run onto.
This is a very common tactic for attacking plays and its called "running in behind defenders". It's advantageous to try and perform this action as it consequently allows the attacking team to get into a good position to score a goal. In very simple terms if the attacking team plays a pass for their striker to run onto behind defenders, the ball will land ideally in place between the oppositions goalkeeper and the defenders. The ball once landed if it were a person of the attacking would be in a offside position like the above example. But because its the ball it cant be offside, only players can be. So the trick is for the attacking team is for the player who will pass in into this ideal position for the striker, and the striker to time things so the opposition get less of an opportunity to defend this action and therefore get a greater chance of scoring a goal.
So the attacker will be timing his run to meet the ball in is theoretically "offside" position, between the defending goalkeeper and the defenders. So how can this happen given that if the player just stood where the ball would land he would be called offside? The trick to this, is that if the attacking player is either level with or in front of the defending players THE MOMENT the ball has left the foot of the attacking player passing the ball into the position, and then runs onto where the ball will land he will not be offside. This is because when the ball was played (left the foot of the passer) the striker was in an on-side position and therefore is allowed to run at the defending teams goal, to try and get the ball and score, its at this point now where the defenders have to try and stop him.
AGAIN this is a GROSS oversimplification and can involve more attacking players and things called phases of play, but ignore of all this to start with, watch games and get idea for it and again commentators and replays will look at offsides. Its very difficult to write how offsides work as visually they are ALOT easier to explain.
Hope this helped somewhat and welcome any clarifications in the replies to this comment.
TLDR: Watch games, you'll figure it out.
P.S. Once you have learned the basics and if you get into it and watch more games. Sometimes to get a good understanding of what's going on and where the ball might go next, don't focus on the ball as you are watching, look around at the other players to see where the player with the ball may pass to, its a good way of understanding the flow of the game and you'll slowly get an understanding of how attacking opportunities develop and will start to see them before they play out in a game and then at that point, you've basically figured out football.

Players do move from position, but usually someone else will cover them as they do.
As an example, with a back four (colloquial term for four man defence), you might have a wide defender join an attack to put a cross in (a floated ball, or fast strike along the ground between defence and goal). In this instance a more defensive minded midfielder might stay near the side vacated by the defender, to cover any gap if and when the attack falls apart.
Another variation is the string or rope defence (often played by Arsenal in the 80s and 90s). Again four at the back. This is where you have the fullback (wide defender) going upfield to assist an attack, and his defensive colleague on the other side pulls in tighter, to make a strong 3 man defence. This usually happens when there's a 2 man attack facing them, leaving a spare defender to clear up any problems, for instance if they have a great dribbler who passes his marker.
Another variant is the sitting midfielder (Barcelona during the tiki-taka period, 90s inward). Here, they allow both fullbacks to join an attack, allowing more passing options further up the pitch, to facilitate their possession game. If they're faced with 2 forwards also, then the defensive midfielder will sit with the centrebacks for the same reason as above.
Just two examples, and I've not gone very in-depth with them, but there are numerous little tweaks that happen during every match.
Traditionally goalkeepers always wore green. Its only in reent times they have started wearing different colours. T he main reason is when the penalty area is full of of playes challenging for the ball the difference helps see which hand arm is handling the ball.
Hey you should react to BMOnus video "A Clueless American's Guide to EURO 2020", it's a good one! cheers!
Regarding your query around 8:00, the "zones" are very loosely defined and different teams in different matches might have different priorities as to where they want certain players to spend their time.
In the modern game, the fullbacks (that's the left and right-sided defenders) are often expected to make runs with the ball up alongside the touchline and make crosses into the opponent's box, in addition to their defensive duties. Players who are good at this are sometimes referred to as "attacking fullbacks" - they start in a defensive position and have defensive duties but they're equally valued for their ability to move forward and influence the attack.
To play like that you'll normally need at least 1 defensive midfielder, who can slot back into the defence and provide cover if the fullback loses the ball high up the pitch.
A goalkeeper can kick the ball out anywhere he / she likes.
The Semi circle on the top of 'the box' (where the keeper can handle the ball) indicates the area players cannot be when a penalty is taken.
About offside: The difference between a fast break in basketball and football is the number of players and their roles. In basketball, both offense and defense is done by all 5 players, and having one of them hang around on the other team's half of the court is a risk. In football, strikers don't generally partake in defense, so without offside rules they could just hang around the goal, and they could try to do pot shots from there. The midfield would be a barren desert, because it's much easier to just pass the ball all over the pitch, right to the striker waiting at the opponent's goal. So that's why offside rules exist. Bear in mind, the offside rule applies to the moment the ball is kicked, so if you are fast, and you can outrun the defense *after the ball is kicked*, you can still get fast breaks.
There's also a rule the video missed about overtime. Overtime generally incorporates the golden goal rule, so while the overtime is generally 30 minutes long, if either team manages to score, the match is immediately ended, and that team wins. Also, overtime is not always used. In normal league matches, or group rounds, there is no overtime, if the second half ends in a tie, than the match is a tie. Overtime is only used where a clear winner is necessary, e.g. elimination rounds.
There is an important rules about the goalkeeper that limits the use of hands that was introduced some years ago.
The 'back-pass rule' that prohibits goalkeepers from handling the ball if it has been deliberately kicked to them by one of the teammates (or after receiving it directly from a throw-in).
The penalty is an indirect free kick.
-With the substitutions: you have to have in mind, that if you are done with your substituions and a player gets injured you then can not substitue that player anymore and have 1 guy less on the field!
-The teams colours are so the players can be distinguished from each other. The Goalie usually stays by his goal, so if he wears something different it doesn't matter.
In earlier times the goalie was not allowed to be subsituted at all. 1954 in the world cup in one match (austria vs switzerland) with severe heat, the austrian goal keeper had hypothermia from early on in the match. And basically had no orientation and didn't remember anything of the match afterwards. Despite this austria won 7:5. To this day this match holds the record of having the most goals scored in a match.
- The offside rule is so there isn't one guy standing next to the goal keeper for the whole game waiting to get the ball.
Also this way the defensive players can move up and participate in an attack better.
Additional info: you can not be offside in your own half of the field. (If the defensive players move up that much... which does happen occasionally)
The offside rule is there to encourage attacking teams to beat a defense with the ball instead of just with positioning. Also the extra 30 minutes doesn't always apply. Those rules are reserved for elimination games in a tournament, like round of 16 to finals because there's no longer a point system during that phase of the tournament to decide who advances (3 for a win, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss). Also the goalkeeper wears a different kit than the rest of his players so that the ref can easily spot him during a set piece (corner kick, free kick into the box to try and score) and make sure that if someone uses their hands or arms to play the ball that it was the goalkeeper that did it.
The D shape/curve at the edge of the box was designed so that when a penalty was given in a normal 90 minute game that all of the players (except the penalty taker & the opposition goalkeeper) who stand on that D are an equal distance from the penalty spot. In a penalty shootout no players are allowed to stand on the D, they stand in they're own team in a huddle by the halfway line, both keepers take position on the byline (away from the goal) until 1 of the keepers are called to stand in the goal to try to save the penalty from the opposition penalty taker then the keeper swaps place so the opposition keeper takes their turn to stop the penalty taker from scoring a penalty. Extra time only applies to knockout cups or group/knockout cup competitions however in the english league cup there's no extra time if the tie ends in a draw & it goes straight to penalties
To your question about the defenders role in the offense: I would say there are two typical (but not exclusive) situations when defenders go far into the opponents half.
1. When an attack is launched over the left- or right wing, the left- or wing defender respectively would go forward to support the attack.
2. Central defenders when their team gets a corner or freekick to possibly score a header because central defenders are usually tall
The reason why there is offside is basically because of the size of the pitch itself. It is not at all practical for the defending team to attack and cover everyone in the opposite team's attack ... Especially since a foul costs a lot and any contact can result in foul. So the game generally revolves around the ball. Players who have the ball get tackled and players who have a chance of receiving the ball in an attacking position get covered by the defenders. so, when the ball is in your team's possession, everyone has to contribute in keeping the possession and attack. So the defenders will go up the pitch, up to the halfway point , and their teammates can give backpasses to keep possession in case of risky situations.
And because of all these factors, when ball is away from the goal, defenders tend to avoid the strikers around there and that's how the game basically allow everyone to get involved in offense and defense. And so, if offside rule is not there, opponents can simply place a striker close to the other goal and just immediately give long passes to the striker when they recieve the ball. And also, in a close range of the goal, scoring is way easier than even basketball if there is not enough people to block (4 is actually not enough to block just 2 strikers. You need a crowd that stops the opponent from get close to the goal very early). So, without the offside rule, attacking is not an option since the attacking team will be way to vulnerable to the point were it will be better to not attack the opponent AT ALL.
The problem with not having offside is that a team can place players behind the defensive line (who have no means of getting them out), and then send long balls over the defense. Offside prevents that by forcing players to keep the line unless they have the ball themselves. As a lot of people have mentioned that the keeper is dressed differently to make them distinct from the other teams and each other. It's very common to see keepers in various neon colors as very few teams use those for their player kits.
The circle outside the keeper box is only for penalty kicks. Players have to stay a certain distance away from the person who is taking the penalty (I believe it's around nine meters) and out of the penalty area, which is why the circle is there. It's called the penalty arc for that reason. If there is a team with black kits, the refs will most likely be wearing something like a neon blue shirt instead, as they should be easy to distinguish from the players.
About the roles: This is how things go by default, but obviously, if a team is losing, they are likely to send their defenders up on the opponent side too to force a goal. This can be risky, since if the opponent team manages to steal the ball, they can beeline it to the goal with little resistance. On the other hand, if a team is already winning big with multiple goals, sometimes they call the strikers back too to focus on defense. In some last minute desperate attempts, even the goalkeeper can run up to attack and try to score a goal, so these positions aren't enforced by rules, they are just how the team dynamic tends to work, but it can be altered if there's a need.
About tackles: generally, players are not allowed to directly attack other players. Pushing, pulling, kicking or hitting other players, if the referee deems it intentional gets a card. Accidents happen, but you are supposed to kick the ball, and ONLY the ball.
@SoCal The semicircle on the coal area is to keep the players a certain distance away from the ball when a penalty is being shot, if that wasn't there the players would be too close in that area, so it's simply there to mark where the players have to stand outside while the penalty is being shot.
As for your question if the goal keeper can only shoot from the goal area, no, he is allowed to go all over the field, but he is only allowed to touch the ball with his hands while he is inside the goal box, so as soon as he is outside he counts as a regular player, so he has to drop the ball before he goes outside, and therefore it's seldom the goal keeper does go outside the box in those situations
Goalkeepers wear colours different to stand out to their team mates - it’s fast so peripheral vision needed - also helps officials - colours are sometimes co ordinated to a second or third kit (used for away matches or away match where kit colours clash) goal keeper kit will have club badge on it
Players don’t have ‘zones’ specifically it’s all about tactics - how strict the roles are depends on the strategy and tactics (‘system’ eg 442) used a more defensive team may set up with less defenders but tell their midfielders to not move too far forward or may use 5 defenders - any player can go anywhere on the pitch
433 is not necessarily more attacking - it has no ‘wide’ players as with 442 but it can be used to create wide players if the left and right back are used to travel the left/right sidelines(wings) - but again this depends on the strategy - 433 can be very defensive with 4 defenders and using 2 of the 3 midfield to not stray too far forward- this would lead to longer passes (long ball tactics) - all to do with style / tactics and also to counter the strategy and tactics of the opponent
The decision of the referee is final - so with only some professional teams in some leagues use goal line technology-
Goal area curved line is to mark the distance from the penalty spot (penalties awarded for fouls in ‘the box’ no players are permitted within 10yds of the penalty spot
Goalkeepers can go anywhere on the pitch just often won’t for obvious reasons - but can only handle in the 18 yard box (and not pick it up if passed to them deliberately by own team mate (to speed the game up) ( you used to be able to do this )
Tackle is term for taking the ball from an opponents possession doesn’t have to be a slide that’s just one method - but can’t make contact with player first, can’t follow through the tackle onto the opponent (although this often happens
You can get yellow cards for any offence - referees decision is final - but there are guidelines for professional referees
It’s not like a basket ball foul where the foul is for minimal contact - football is a contact sport - it usually is given for recklessness or deliberate cheating (although referees appear useless at spotting this)
You can make substitutions to help when a player is sent off - eg if goalkeeper gets two yellow or red card - can substitute a defender to bring another goalie on- playing with one less (or more than one less ) is the punishment for the team - often it also means the player sent off can miss future matches so cannot be selected to play in the 11 depending on seriousness of the ‘foul play’
Offside - you are onside if when they ball is kicked there are two players between the player (being passed to) and the goal (the goal the player is trying to score into) - usually people say last defensive player as they take for granted the goalkeeper will be one of the two players - not always and sometimes referee even miss this ! You cannot be offside if you are behind the ball (like if you drew a line from one side of the pitch to the other passing thru the ball perpendicular to the goal line the player is attacking towards) can’t be offside from a throw-in / throw-on (same thing just terminology) either
Offside prevents goal hanging - staying around the goal not running waiting for goal opportunities - offside prevents stupid score lines like in basket ball where he big event is missing a basket - in football the big event is scoring a goal / not missing the goal 🤣 a tie and extra time is only played if a win/ lose scenario is needed eg knockout competition- in league games draws get 1 point each - in knockouts = no points
Off-side rule really makes sense. If there was no rule like that, the soccer would become a ridiculous circus.
Addition: game has an extra time and penalty shootout, only if - winner needs to be decided by the end of the game (finals - world Cup, for instance), winner needs to be decided by two games (home and away - Champions league e.g., if the score is tied after two games - additional rule of scoring more goals on away field, wins)
After 90 minutes of initial play, there are two halfs of 15 min. each. If winner still needs to be decided, there are penalty kicks, 5 for each team, taking turns with shooting and saving alternatively. If this is not enough, they try to score and save until for each turn, until succeeded.
Interesting fact : most recent Europa league final between Villarreal and Manchester Utd. was 1-1 after 120 minutes.
Then the penalty shootout went through a serie of 5, with a 5-5 score, then they took each turn... and the players scored making it 10-10!
As you know there are 11 players on the field, and all the field players took their chances, save for... goalies.
So the goalies took their turns and Man Utd goalie as the last player shooting, missed his chance and Villarreal (Spanish) won the title. 1-1 (11-10pk). Interestingly enough Manchester's goalkeeper is De Gea... and he's Spanish himself.
What would happen if he'd scored, you ask. They would have to repeat until solution, from all the players, one at the time, who's already given the kick once before. No players from the bench can participate.
Defensive Players can be involved in Goal Scoring an Attack, Mainly from set pieces such as free-kicks and corners because typical the two central defenders will be the team's tallest players and offer the best target for a header. The two wide defenders often called fullbacks or wing backs often times will provide an attacking threat in the form of dribbling the ball to the opponent's goaline and then providing crosses into the box for the attacking players.
First off, the guy explains the team formations and roles as if he was born in the 70's. Play has evolved a lot more to where midfielders are divided into two categories, ones with more of a defensive task, trying to intercept passes and stop build-up play from the opponent's team, as well as offensive task midfielders whose task it is to control the play so that if the attacker can not move the play forward on one side, or is essentially stuck, the ball can be moved backwards towards the offensive midfielder and then he decides where the play moves on next. Besides that, wingbackers, the defense on the far left and far right of the field, get used more and more to help advance the ball forwards along the sidelines. They usually stick to their side though and once the ball has reached its destination they will usually hang back a little, predicting a counter attack. Moreover, during free kicks and corner kicks it's usual to see one of the center backs (middle defenders on the pitch) come headed towards the opponent's box in order to try and score a goal with their head. Usually they are good at heading the ball away so it would make sense for them to be good at heading the ball into the goal as well. They almost never go both or all three at the same time, though, as this would cause a massive weakness when counter attacked, unless of course they are desperate and need a goal.
Referees aren't equal. There is one ref in the play, he is THE ref. Two ref's walk along the sidelines, one each, to decide whether there are players offside, any fouls have been made to help the ref and whether an out of bounds ball is a goal kick, throw in (and for which team) or a corner kick. They used to be able to help the ref say whether a ball was over the goal line, but since the goal system that task has been removed from their list. Then there are two more refs. One whose task it is to announce substitutions and injury time (also overtime) and record moments of importance (cards handed out, subs, goals etc.) and one who only recently got added and only acts during professional matches. His name is Video Assistant Referee, or VAR for short. The VAR can only act in one of four situations:
- A player has been given a card that should have been given to another player
- a red card has been given (or one needs to be given, but wasn't)
- a goal has been given (or one needs to be given, but wasn't)
- a penalty has been given (or one needs to be given, but wasn't).
To fully assess whether one of these conditions apply the ball needs to be out of bounds and the VAR needs to tell the ref that a potential check needs to be done. The recording ref also helps in timing how much time was lost because of the VAR. The VAR then looks at the footage and observe from the moment that the attacking team gains control of the ball, until the moment of importance happens. If something else happens before the moment of importance (e.g. a hands ball was made by the attacking team before an attacking player was tackled harshly inside the box) then the VAR can not judge the moment of importance before it has properly dealt with the situation. As such the game should continue with a free kick for the defending team as compensation for the hands ball, in this scenario. If the ref did NOT reward a penalty, the VAR usually lets the play continue as is. Again, the outcome of VAR intervention is only one of those four scenario's or their prevention.
To assess offside, the VAR will use specific lines and compare, to see whether a player was truly offside. This can come down to a toe or shoulder (because arms can't be used by field players and therefore a player can't be offside with arms).
Cards aren't always awarded equally. Some players exert unsportsmanlike conduct or question the ref's decision openly and loudly, or argue on the field with a line ref. These are all card-awarding fouls.
The most important situation is a player who is " through" which basically means there is no defender between them and the goalkeeper, and he has the ball ready to score a goal. If a foul is made, that is an instant red card. Similarly, any foul (any at all) that blocks a 100% scoring chance, is awarded a red card instantly.
Hands balls also aren't always awarded equally. For hands balls it is important to know:
- attackers' hands is always hands, no matter the situation.
- Intent counts; if a ball was intentionally blocked with a hand to stop a shot or pass or dribble, cards (even a red card) can be awarded. Likewise, sometimes the intent of the player is pretty clearly absent; when a player falls and tries to break his fall with his hands, but the ball just happens to touch their arms as they fall, then usually they are not fouled. Inconsistent at times but the rule exists.
- Arms that are directly against the body, that is, the entire arm is touching, are usually not counted. This is to prevent misuse of the hands rule. Sometimes, when the hands are directly against the body but in an unnatural way (for example across the chest) free kicks or penalties are awarded, this is an inconsistency that I personally have yet to find any rules specifying this for, but hands that are flat to your sides, or even hands behind your back will likely never be called hands (unless of course the ref is an idiot, the VAR doesn't intervene etc.)
- if the ball is shot from a relatively close distance, to where a player has not had any time to react, there is usually not any free kick or penalty awarded. Again, inconsistent in reality, but this rule does exist.
Next, offside only counts for passes forward. If an attacking player is already beyond the last defender and the teammate is on the same level or behind that teammate then there is no offside considered.
Edit: a last thing I should add is the existence of a rule called the back pass: Goal keepers aren't always allowed to use their hands. Otherwise players could simply score 1-0 and then keep the ball in defense, and when the opponent gets close, pass the ball to the keeper to have them pick it up. To stop this from happening, it is simply ruled that the possessing team is not allowed to pass back. Possession is decided if I'm not mistaken as the last player that had the ball under control, for which the ball doesn't *need* to be lying still. So if a cross pass comes in to the box and a defender takes the ball to the chest, lets it land, places his foot against the ball and passes it to the keeper, the keeper wouldn't be allowed to grab it with their hands as the defender had possession of the ball, even if only for a brief second. Whereas, if the defender had instead headed the ball in the general area of the keeper, gently and with a curve upwards to give the keeper ample time to react and grab it, then the defender is not considered to have had possession of the ball at the time of playing. However, if the ball was in possession of the team, but an opponent intercepts the pass, without touching it further, and the ball glides towards the goalkeeper, the team is considered to have lost possession as an opponent has gained control (even if only for a brief second) of the ball and the goalkeeper is allowed to pick it up.
Goalkeepers wear different colors so the referee can easily see who the goalie is. Since he's the only player allowed to touch the ball with his hands, it's important that he cannot be confused for other players in the pitch. If the goalie dresses in the same color as his teammates it can make it hard to see who the goalie is in, let's say a corner kick when the box is crowded.
And yes, players can move all over the field. Many times the fullbacks (defenders that play in the outer side of the defender's line) will run all over the pitch in attack to receive the ball in the wide areas to try to cross it to the strikers inside the box. In corner kicks defenders also go to the opponent's box to try to score (central defenders are usually the tallest and strongest players in the team). Midfielders are usually all over the pitch. You'll see a midfielder helping to defend his own goal in a moment and 30 seconds later he's arriving at the opposite box to score a goal. It's a very dynamic game and positioning is only referential. Players tend to move a lot when attacking because it makes it harder for the opposition to defend.
The crescent shape in the front of the box is a 9,15 meter mark from the penalty spot. When there's a penalty kick, all the players except for the penalty taker and the goalkeeper must stay away from the box and that crescent shape. If anyone's inside that area when the penalty kick is taken the referee will null it and make it be taken again.
A tackle in football is whenever a player is physically competing for the ball. A clean tackle is when the defender takes only the ball from the offensive player. When the defender takes only the player and not the ball it's a foul. If it's a strong tackle the defender can be booked with a yellow card, it's like a warning that the referee will no longer accept such intense tackles from him anymore. If a player is booked with an yellow card again he is sent off and his team will have to play with only ten players for the rest of the match. Players can be sent off directly in the case of very violent tackles, agressions or when there's a unsportsman attitude such as purposely blocking the ball with the hands or arms and doing stuff like spitting on opponents, disrespecting the referee, the crowd and etc. Racial insults are also punishable with the red card.
The offside rule exists because football pitches are HUGE! So there's no way a team no matter how organized can cover all of the space with only ten players and a goalkeeper. So if it was not for the offside rule, the game would be simply based on "kick and run" since strikers would be poaching around the box all the time and that would make the defenders sit deep all the time as well. That would make the game very different with half the team sitting in it's own box for the whole match and the other team sitting in the opposite box all the time. It would be chaotic.
7:55 Teams tactics are usually define a role for each player and how they combat the other teams tactics. Set up like 4-4-2. 4 in defense, 4 in midfield and 2 attackers. OR 3-5-2. The goal keeper is NOT counted in formations as their role is static.
The team manager will set up a system of play and the players will stick to that system UNLESS the manager changes the play style at half time or give his on field captain to change formation.
7:58 as a guy who played almost entirely as a primary defender, one of the most irritating things in the world was a midfielder in front of me who WOULDN'T get up there and help in the attack. I had a teammate for a year that I frequently had to just switch to my position on D mid-play so I could go do his job since he didn't feel like it. That kind of thing isn't common though, most guys on a team play across the majority of the field throughout a game.
goalies colors is to stand out in the middle of some plays as it can get confusing, the colors and the design are usually presented in the beggining of the season, there is no restriction but they usually have a color of the club ( a mix of two colors usually) or the flag in national teams but goalies use really strong colors to stand out like bright yellow or green but it is the team choice, the entire team has a secondary outfit (using the secondary color) usually in case both teams have similar colors one of them takes the alternative outfit.
Regarding positions …. Every player has specific things to do while game is running. Usually they have more than one “job”, depending on they’re attacking or defending. Jobs can be neutralising options for one, two or more specific opponents when defending i.e., or always be available at specific areas on the pitch when attacking.
In theory … any player can play wherever on the pitch. But you will often see players located on the pitch, corresponding with his particular skills.
Terminology will often be about defensive players or offensive players. Usually in reference with the midfielders. Defensive midfielder or offensive midfielder.
If you like goalkeeper uniforms, google "Jorge Campos jersey" lol!
Sometimes, goalkeepers get to choose their uniforms (like the aforementioned Jorge Campos did), and sometimes the team decides (usually when sponsors are involved). The colors have to stand out to avoid confusion, they cannot wear the same colors as their own team. Same goes for the away team, they have to wear totally different colors to avoid confusions. That's why professional teams (and goalkeepers) have three official uniforms, the second and third being totally different in colours and design.
The offside rule attempts to prevent soccer from descending into a game of long punts towards crowds of players milling bout the goal, as is essentially equivalent to American Football's strict rules on the forward pass. In the current interpretation of the laws of the game, a player is offside at the instant a ball is played towards him as long as the following conditions are met:
The kicking player is on the same team.
The receiving player is in the half that contains the opposing goal.
The ball is not thrown.
The kicking player was not taking a goal kick.
Regarding the semi-circle outside the penalty box...
When a penalty kick is awarded, all players (except the goalkeeper and the player taking the penalty) but be outside the pnealty area and, at least, at 10 yards of the ball.
That semi-circle marks a 10 yards radius centered on the penalty spot.
Thus, in practice, that semi-circle acts as a visual cue to the 10 yards rule.
Just my humble opinion on the offsides: this rule allows the defensive players to take a bigger part in the offense. If there's always a couple of opponent's strikers waiting for the pass near your goal, you need to watch them. And if they are not allowed this, your own defenders may push forward, only fearing a fast-running guy (since offside only limits passes), not a fast-flying ball. This actually adds fun to the game, allowing the full team to push, to create density near the opponent's goal, and, in fact, it also makes counter-attacks more dangerous and fun.
A note on the offside rule: There has to be two (not one) defending players between the attacker and the goal when the pass is made for the player to be onside. One of these are almost always the goalkeeper, but it doesn't have to be.
Form Mexico's World Cup (1970) and until recent years there were allowed only 2 substitutions, then FIFA changed the rule and allowed 3 sustitutions but now, due the COVID they temporarily changed the rule again and they are allowing 5 sustitutions.
Goal keepers wear different colors to stand out, sometimes the action is right at the goal area and everything happens so fast and might get so confusing that players (both defense and atackers) need to be able to identify and locate the goal keeper instantly and without a doubt. Their colors are diferent from any other color of any shirt on the field including the referees. There is no rule regarding their colors so they choose the one they prefer, as long as their shirts have the mandatory identifications (name, number, team) everything is OK.
Yes, defense guys might go "up" following a play or trying to score, they are usually tall guys so it's not rare to see them on the opposite goal area trying to score with their heads on a corner shot or helping in a free shot after a foul, in some cases even some goal keepers do so (in desperate situations). "Job distribution" on the field depends on the strategy traced by the manager, each player "work" on determined areas of the field but this is also a game of opportunities so they are kind of free to move around as long as they are able to comeback to their designated zone and do their job as needed. There are not fixed positions in which you MUST stay throughout the game but there are fixed responsabilities so players need to find the balance.
Goal keeper can put the ball back in play from anywhere in the field but he can only use his hands inside the box this means he can come forward with the ball outside the box but then he can only play with his legs as the rest of the players. The curved line is a limit, when a penalty is shot all of the players from both teams (except the shooter and the goal keeper) must be behind that line.
Offside is when the player is beyond the last defense player at the moment his teammate passes the ball. To be beyond that line is considered an unfair advantage and it is not rewarded but punished. Some managers try to use this rule to their advantage by indicating their defense line to move forward up towards the center of the field in the idea that this "reduces" the field for the opposite attackers but this is a very dangerous strategy because leaves a lot of free space between the defense and their goal keeper for an attacker with good legs to run and catch a long pass turning the situation into a one-on-one between the attacker and the goal keeper... and usually the goal keeper looses
Overtime is 30 minutes, 2 periods of 15 min each with no rest in between but the time that might take the teams to change sides on the field, it's like a mini game after the game. From 1994 to 2004 there was the "Golden Goal" rule (kind of a "sudden death") Once the 30 minutes overtime started the first team to score a goal automatcally won the match but this had an annoying effect on the game because teams tend to play defense hoping for keeping the tie and getting a good result at the penalty round after the overtime and the game used to turn BORING so FIFA decided to elimminate this rule and let the overtime be played in it's full extent with no regards to the result but in the case of tie after the overtime in which case the game is resolved with the penalty shootout round.
Sorry my comments are so long, I try to go in the order of your questions but I don't know how to explain all this with fewer words, I hope it helps anyway. Greetings from Venezuela
