What are the main positions in soccer?

As a soccer enthusiast, I love discussing the various positions that make up a team! At the core, there are four main positions in soccer: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Goalkeepers are the last line of defense, tasked with preventing the opposition from scoring. Defenders, usually divided into center-backs and full-backs, help protect the goal and regain possession. Midfielders are the engine room of the team, often responsible for creating chances and maintaining team balance, while forwards are the goal-scorers who put the ball into the net.
