RedrebelSometimes people don't see the beauty in defending. Some people think is easy and others think anybody can defend. The truth is, defending is a hard, tactical, bone breaking, nerve racking job. Defending is an art. So, next time you watch a football game don't just admire a great pass or a great finish. Admire THE ART OF DEFENSE!!!!!

RedrebelAnd if you think defending is easy. You probably have never been a defender.

RedrebelNo, comments for this one. See, that's what I mean, nobody cares about defense or admires defending. It's all about the tricks, the goals, and the assists.

Agent_LewisNot so fast, Red. I can't speak about everyone else, but I can appreciate good defending. Pompey, for example, did an excellent job in maintaining their shape and working for a point against Chelsea during Tuesday's fixture, but a miscue on their behalf did them in. On the other hand, I get ticked off at lousy defending, especially if it comes from Marco Materazzi of Inter. Can we send him off to AC Milan with a boatload of money for Alessandro Nesta? Please?

Robert O'CarlosMaybe nobody commented because you said everything there was to say in your leader, RR?
:-D
Defending isn't the pretty part of the game, but is just as important. I guess there's just not much to add.

RedrebelSee, just I like I said. You guys don't see the pretty part of defending.

Robert O'CarlosCan't help but think that sounds like a dig at my last comment there, RR.
Like the maxim at the end of this clip says, play hard but play fair. Defending is about stopping your opponent playing and is not there to be pretty. As long as it's within the laws of the game, it's all about stopping the flow of a move or simply getting something in the way of a cross or shot.

RedrebelI would even say defending is the most important thing in football.

prekaziwell, defending in football is of course important and difficult. but i would say it is no where near defending in Basketball when it comes to fun or beauty of it!
