Soccer Joke

Credited to Coach Shel Fung:

Conversation overheard at a U-12 game:

Coach (to a substitute he's preparing to insert back into the game): What position were you playing, John?

John: Over There.

Coach: What?

John (pointing): I was playing Over There.

Coach: Err, OK, go back in over there.

Coach (to second player): Mark, what position were you playing?

Mark: Coach, I was playing Way Over There.

So, while *we* may think in terms of sweeper, stopper, LB, RB, DCM, LF, CF, etc., from a player's perspective, there are really only the following eleven positions: KEEPER, HERE, THERE, OVER THERE, WAY OVER THERE, THIS SIDE, THAT SIDE, THROW-IN THIS SIDE (as in "I take the throw-ins from this side"), THROW-IN THAT SIDE, UP FRONT, and WAY BACK.
