Soccer Opposites

Was Sir Isaac Newton a football enthusiast?

Newton's Third Law for Motion is that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
This law states that in every interaction, there exists a pair of forces. These forces always come in equal and opposite action-reaction pairs.

Kind of sounds like two teams playing soccer, eh?


Counter Attack                      Defending the Counter Attack
Safe pass                                Pressing Defense
Establishing Rhythm             Disrupting Rhythm
Transitioning to Attack          6 seconds to regain shape behind ball
Building from the Back         Defending at Line of Confrontation
Building in Attacking Half    Bunkering in
Attacking Restarts                 Defending Restarts
Only in soccer, while there are draws, more often than not there is a winner and a loser.  The outcome of the match does lie in the battle of opposites. Above we have identified 7 basic opposites in the game of soccer. Perhaps you can identify others?  It seems fair to say the team who wins the majority of the battles of opposites has the best chance at winning the match, yes?
