Well, if you're going to play defense, it's usually not a good idea to kick the ball right back to the other side.

I never understand that tactic. Goal kick = 65yd free ball.

Invariably, they just get it right back and boom, you're under duress again.

- When the other team is better than you, giving them at worst a 50/50 chance to get possession to prove they're better is just dumb. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 13:32 9
  - well a goalie certainly looks more stupid trowing the ball to his own defender - Danedukenuuk Jun 28, 13:37
  - it was the better team basically playing keep away, not the worse team. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 28, 13:33 7

        When they had a lead with 7 minutes left? They *STILL* had more shots toward goal in that timeframe then the US. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 28, 13:42 3
