Best Answer

a sweeper is a position right behind the defence so if the soccer ball goes behind the defence the sweeper can go pass it right back up

A sweeper is a kind of defense.

Its the last line of defense (besides the keeper of course) and the one who tells the defense to push up or come back. He or she sends everyone up and if they get passed them he or she have to make sure they dont get close to the goal.

A sweeper plays behind the fullback and in front of the keeper. The stopper will play between the fullbacks and the midfielders. The stopper tries to shut down the attack (hence the name) and the sweeper is mostly just clearing the ball at all costs.

Wing : position on the right or left side. a common tactic is to cross the ball to a central team-mate

Sweeper: type of centre back who "sweeps up" the ball. compare to full back. this position is more free and sometime build the counter attack move.

The sweeper is a defender whose primary responsibility is to defend the center of the field and clear the ball any time it comes near, especially if it can be done at the same time as feeding the ball forward to a midfielder, winger, or striker.

I have a beautiful glass globe hummingbird feeder that has a rubber stopper. How can I stop the nectar from leaking out of the stopper?

If there is debris on the stopper it might be preventing a good seal. Try removing the rubber stopper and wipe it off to remove any debris that might be on it. Clean out the hole that the stopper goes into as well. This will help ensure a clean seal between the hole and the stopper. Put the stopper back into the hole, making sure it is a tight fit. If it still leaks you may need to buy a new stopper.


How do you remove a push pull stopper from a tub drain when it has come loose?

On most push/pull stoppers the knob part that you pull on unscrews from the stopper, and under that is a slot for a screwdriver tighten or remove the stopper. On stoppers with non-removable knobs, there is a screw (usually phillips) under the stopper which can be accessed with the stopper in the up position and unscrewed to remove the stopper.
