They can't win if they can't score. (defensive challenge)

It was the last game of the season, the Tigers vs. the Horses. My team the Horses has always been rivals of the Tigers. They were fast mean & ALL offense. We in our pink uniforms choose to play by the philosiphy that “they can’t win if they can’t score” so we leave it to our defense witch is pretty much the whole team. What is better offence or defense? It will be decided once & for all.

At the opening kick it was our 2 forwards against their 6. Their 2 defense against us 6. It was slow motion when the Tigers kicked, it came right at me so I jumped for a header & missed. luckily some one was behind me to catch it and turn it around. They passed to our kicker who in one kick sailed it to our forwards. As they flew across the field they barreled through the Tigers offence and took it strait down the middle. At about 10 meters back one kicked it & in a last effort tiger # 4 made a leap to block the ball but when it went over his head and his teammate was across the field it soared right into the net. WE WON !

    It’s clear, don’t worry.
    I get it, defense.
    But, I kinda thought THX 0477 was talking about wars and stuff.
    But I like soccer too.

    For some reason I was thinking football, but I did catch on that it was soccer. And to be clear, I started thinking about wars, but I really meant and hoped for people to jump to other types of situations.
    Quick, straight-forward little story, with a bit of an underdog feel to it. Nice.

    Like THX I was thinking football, but now it’s clear that it’s soccer.
    I liked this story, but some run-on sentences make it a bit hard to read.

    I realized it was soccer fairly early on, a great sport many Americans don’t seem to appreciate (though I do prefer football). Go underdogs!

    I realized it was soccer but the might be because I actually play! And YAY ! They won! The gramatical structure could use a bit of work, though.
