Acceleration is a key aspect of soccer. Players need speed to get past defenders and have a shot on goal.
11 Players on Each Team Forwards, Midfielders, Defenders, and one goalie
There are about 389,000 registered soccer players in Australia.
there are on a soccer field 11 players. There are many different formations for soccer like 3 strikers, 4 mid-fielders, and 3 defenders and a goalie
a person who isn't defending. offensive players help score goals.
The usual number is 4, but other regular formations include 5 defenders or 3 defenders. But in football you could in theory have as many defenders as you want! (As long as there are only eleven players) but it wouldn't be very tactical!
Yes. It can be a very fast game and players are trying to get into good positions and get past defenders if they are trying to score, or trying to keep close to strikers if they are defenders. So there is a lot of movement in a good soccer match. Players need to be fit to play it at the top level.
That is true in a way. In the US basketball is more popular than soccer. That is why basketball players are paid more. In other countries, soccer is more popular so soccer players get paid more. Soccer in the US is becoming increasingly popular. Soon soccer players could be paid as much as basketball players.

There are the same positions throughout the game, so there's a goalie, defenders, middles, and forwards.
All players on the soccer field can be an offensive player but mostly offensive is played by the midfielders and strikers, or attackers.
Yes, but rarely. Only goalies and defenders never score during their time as professional soccer players but defenders have eradicated that factor as defenders have scored some of the beautiful goals ever scored. Goalies have scored some goals through set-pieces.
