  • Congrats to our latest Sportsbook winners - GOLD MEDAL kihei, SILVER MEDAL fish7 and BRONZE MEDAL Sammy Kat - new tournament begins today 6/15
Can I ask though...why aren't they trying anything Qatar? What's the goal in playing full defense instead of just trying something?

They are 9. And they are tired from defending as much. Plus, if they force the play, they will get scored even more. They have one game to play against the Broad Street Bullies and they want to preserve the rest of the players. The 2 expelled players won’t be able to play.
 
Hard to do when you never have the ball and basically playing 3v5

I know, just that they are totally sitting back. No pressure. There's really nothing to lose. So my questoin was more about...what's better do what you can to no be scored on...or try to score to get a goal in...
