By sports culture immersion, I know what a 5-4-3 double play is, as well as the concept of a stretch 4. Having recently taken up Int Football..

How do those numbers work? A 10? What's a false 9? For that matter a 9

I was hoping that by sheer repetition it would become apparent but the terms don't seem to come up all that often during commentary

Responses:

Similar to basketball, where the positions are 1-5. The reason so many goal scorers wear the #10. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 5, 11:05 2

basically formations. When you play a false 9, you're not really playing a forward. that player has free reign. Harder for the CB to track him -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 10:57 1
- Ok so 9 is one of the forwards? 10 is striker? 8? -- nm - JD Feb 5, 11:06
