  1. So a striker/forward is a player who can basically play just about any position in the attacking third???? And a center forward is basically a forward who can pretty much only play in a central position between or in front of right / left strikers, wingers and secondary strickers?? Is that right??

  2. Something nobody really thinks too much about, But probably one of the most important parts of the game… The ref. Can we do an Inside the lines about the refs movements and just how they are in position to make or not make good calls. PLEASE do one im sure im not alone on this.
