Strikers, also known as centre forwards, forwards, and attackers, are the players on a team in football (soccer) in the row nearest to the opposing team's goal, who are therefore principally responsible for scoring goals.
Strikers must learn at least two fundamental skills to score a goal—the ability to direct a ball using the head (known as "heading"), or to control a pass with the foot and to strike accurately into the net (known as "shooting").
The former is usually a large striker, typically known as a target man, who is used either to distract opposing defenders to help teammates score, or to score himself.

To score a run, a striker must hit the ball and run to the opposite end of the pitch, while his non-striking partner runs to his end.
If the batsmen score an odd number of runs, then they will have swapped ends and their roles as striker and non-striker will be reversed for the next ball, unless the most recent ball marks the end of an over.
Due to his position directly behind the striker, the wicket-keeper has a good chance of getting a batsman out caught off a fine edge from the bat; thicker edges are typically handled by the "slips" fieldsmen.

The centre forward, or "out and out" striker, is normally known as the principal goal-scorer on the football team.
These strikers are known for their excellent positional skills with the knack of "being in the right place at the right time".
Other forwards may rely on their pace to run onto balls passed over or through the opposition defence, rather than to collect the ball with their back to goal in the manner of a target man, for example Michael Owen, Andriy Shevchenko, Samuel Eto'o, Thierry Henry and Ronaldo.
