Talk:Striker

I am sorry but this is not quite correct, you state that a forward plays further back. The "Traditional centre forward" in fact plays the most advanced of all players, more often "on his own" in the modern game. The term "striker" is a catch all term for forward players, they can be further categorised as Centre Forwards, "Hole" players, wingers, to name but a few. Also Spain, who are in most peoples opinion the best (national) team in the world right now, which can be supported that they hold both the World Cup and the European Nations Cup, generally known as "The Euros" are playing more and more without a striker at all, using Cesc Fabregas as a "false striker or false number 9" who plays in a deeper midfield position pushing forward when needed.
