Hey there,
This is a big one this time :) I will try to give you a quick overview as best I can.
Formation: This refers to the positions that each player occupies. It is most often denoted by three numbers e.g. 4-4-2 (defenders- midfielders- attackers). However, it can also be more specific such as 4-1-3-2 (which in this case denotes 4 defenders, one defensive midfielder, 3 midfielders and 2 forwards).
The formation one chooses depends on 1. the style of football you want to play and 2. the players available to you. Super defensive teams, like the old Norwegian national team, might show up with something like a 6-3-1. Offensive teams that have fast-paced forwards might play 4-3-3, with two of the forwards playing on the sides as opposed to being in the box.
The best thing when denoting a formation is to use a chart. That way the coach can set up any number of intermediary positions and specific run patterns.
Offside trap
This can be both very effective and very dangerous to implement. This is when defenders pull forward simultaneously to leave the opponent's player (presumably the striker) in an offside position.
In order for this to work, the defensive line has to work as one. Say you have 4 defenders, and three pull forward to expose the enemy striker but one does not, then a very dangerous situation has arisen. The opponent's forward is now no longer marked properly (he may be completely free), and he is free to receive passes from his team- since the presence of the fourth defender keeps him onside.
To make this work you therefore need a very routined defensive line composed of players that work particularly well together, and that can anticipate passes well (since the offside trap should be sprung at a point when it is likely that the opposing team will be looking to pass the ball forward to their striker).
However when it works, it can stop an attack before it ever started.
Counter attack
All teams perform counter attacks. However, as a specific team strategy, it is often used by: teams that are not as good technically as their opponents; teams facing a difficult away game; teams facing opponents that are notoriously attack oriented (e.g. many South American teams, particularly some years back).
Normally the team relying on counter attack will have a solid defence, and tempt the other team to over extend themselves. Once the ball is conquered, they will use the least number of passes to get the ball to the opposing goal. They will aim to finish their attack well before the opposing team has got back into position (as opposed to holding on to the ball and slowly building an attack).
I have the perfect counter attack goal to show you. It is textbook counter attack and, being originally Romanian, I am particularly proud of this one :)

Zonal marking
As opposed to man marking. This is when defenders or midfielders are assigned their own zone.
E.g. you have 4 defenders. One takes the left zone, two split the centre, and one takes the right. This way when an opposing team player does a diagonal run each defender marks him when he is in his zone (more or less).
The opposite, man marking, has defenders assigned to people rather than to zones. That way when an opponent does a diagonal run, the defender follows him.
Both have advantages and disadvantages. Zonal marking is harder to implement because it requires a higher level of co-operation and understanding between the defenders. If only 3 of the 4 defenders are present during an attack, then they will have intuitively create new zones to cover all the defence. However, it is extremely effective in a well oiled defence.
At a very amateur level, I have played on teams where it totally fell apart because one defender could not intuitively understand when to let a man go and when not to.
Long ball
Well when this is used as a specific tactic, it is football at its worst. It involves kicking the ball long and far up the field, with no specific address, and hoping that eventually something positive will come of it. When I was young this was still used fairly extensively by many English clubs.
It has a few advantages: 1. It has the lowest technical/ creative requirement of pretty much any tactic 2. It is not hampered in any way by muddy conditions (one reason it lasted so long in England)- on the contrary, the long balls can get tricky for the opposing team. At the same time teams employing short passing will have a hard time playing their game.
That being said, it barely qualifies as a tactic, and it is very rarely seen in top level football. Teams have improved a lot defensively in the last few decades and this sort of tactic is very ineffective against a decent team. Teams using long ball will often find that they end up squandering what precious attack opportunities they might have had, by mindlessly whacking the ball up the field.
Ok, thats that.
Good luck.
