I just got into Major League Soccer this year. I've been loving it, I feel like I've missed out not having soccer in my life all these years. Obviously the sport isn't complicated per se - just put the ball in the goal. But I'd like to know more about the basics. Like, I don't even really know all the positions or what these formations are. Or like, how to tell if a team is doing good/bad when they aren't scoring at rhat moment. Any videos or whatever is appreciated.
Thanks! The "perceived intent" thing and the yellow/red card clarifies things for me. I'm familiar with offsides in ice hockey, so even though I wasn't sure of the exact mechanics, I got the general idea of what was happening when I've seen it called.
