Soccerlooney:
I don't mean to be pedantic, but I'm going to pick on one thing you said - because it allows me to expand slightly on what I think is an important point: One of the most important purposes of movement without the ball has nothing to do with receiving or preventing a pass. Movement without the ball causes other players to move, thereby changing lots of things wouldn't change if the players are standing around. Midfielders and forwards (in particular) take players with them when they move without the ball. It opens up space that wouldn't otherwise exist - to be filled, one hopes, by either a player with the ball or a different player making a run into the space. It's one of the most beautiful things about the game when it's done well.
You may well have not intended your comment to be taken literally - but I wanted to make the point.
