defense matters too

It’s World Cup season and I’m loving it - again. Why do I love World Cup so much? God, I love it.

But, got me thinking about all the people who rag on soccer (football) being too boring because there’s no scoring. Sure, but that’s only if scoring is what makes a game entertaining right?

And I get that generally it is but that’s only because we’ve been told that. I mean how about an amazing defense that doesn’t let an opponent score? Why is that any less amazing than an amazing offense? It feels we’re very susceptible - as humans - to always be drawn to the flashy shiny thing that scores vs the one that often wins, even if it is in a less exciting form.
