Sorry to the Yanks but this is soccer not American Football.
Wherever I go in the world I inevitably end up talking about football with someone so I thought it would be useful to know a few words for the beautiful game in other languages.
Here's my English contribution (for the positions I'll add a players name who plays that position just for reference):
4-4-2 formation.
1) Goal Keeper (normally we just say 'Keeper')-Buffon
2) Right Back - Ramos
3) Left Back - Roberto Carlos
4&5) Centre back - Nesta
6) Left Midfield/Left Wing - Giggs
7) Right Midfield/Right Wing - Beckham
8&9) Centre Midfield (jus Midfield is used) - Iniesta
10) Centre Forward - Messi
11) Striker - Shearer (THERE'S ONLY ONE ALAN SHEARER!)
Other words:
Red Card.
Yellow Card.
Sent Off.
Pitch.
Shoot.
Score.
Goal.
Home Side.
Away Side.
Skilful.
Good Passer.
Header.
