Also, I've always wondered how come if any of the strikers clears the ball away the other team gets to counter-attack. I mean, if your striker clears the ball then he obviously is in his own field (he can't clear the ball if he is situated in the opponent's field) and his teammates are most probably behind him. How can you counter-attack if all of the opponent's players are in their own field?

Ever heard of super fast wingers and wing backs (just like in real football)? For me it's usually DR/DL and MC or 2 defenders who organise a counter-attack. So, as long as the striker who clears the ball doesn't magically teleport to participate in the counter-attack, this commentary makes perfect sense.

okay, there are teams X and Y, whenever the striker from team X clears the ball away, team Y organizes a counter-attack
if the striker from team X clears the ball that probably means that all the midfielders and defenders from his team are behind him in their own field, because the striker is supposed to be on top of the attack, right? how can team Y organize a counter-attack everytime this happends if all the defensive and midfield players of team X are in their own field and aren't participating in any attack, because there is no such
