I have been a fan of soccer ( don't get mad, that just what I call) for some years. I learned the rules pretty quickly but one thing I didn't really learn well is the positions. I there are attackers, goalie,midfielders, and defenders but the problem is with the name. Like is really a difference between a central back or a defender that is at the right side. Or what is the difference between a ST or RF. I hope you understand what I saying. Can someone just describe each postiton and the special names for some of them.

OK I love soccer a attacker is where you stay towards the other teams goalie and when the ball gets to you u dribble with it and shoot it and a goalie is a person who stands in the goal and blocks the soccer ball from getting in the goal and a midfielder is a line of people and they are in the middle of the field and if another midfielder comes they try and take the ball away and pass it to a attacker or a forward either name is good and a defender is in the back and they try to stop the other teams attacker or forward from getting passed them and making a goal if you need anything else tell me and I will tell you I am in love with soccer so ask me anything

Okay I think I'm good for now. I was just confused on how a ST, RF, and RW are similar different but you explained so I'm good. Thank you
