Which is more important in sport, attack or defence?

Which is more important in sport, attack or defence?

Which is hardest to master?

"attack wins you games, defense wins you titles" is a common saying. Truth is both are important, and teams that win titles are the ones that excels in the 2.

I personnaly can't remember a monster-attack-shit-defense team winning a real title in any sport (other than some pity cup here and there). Nor I can remember the opposite. Even the super-defensive teams that win titles do it thanks to a very clinical and efficient offense that can make it out from a much more limited number of opportunities.

However, it's certainly easier to make a good defensive team with average players than a good offensive team with the same average players. As it's easier to make a good defender out of an average player.

It deoends on the sport.
In the NFL, for example, both are equally important, but offense is hardest to master and most prone to choke, so defense wins championships more often than offense

The top defenses just got cucked bruh, literally all the teams left in the playoffs are offensive teams.

Patriots have #1 defense in terms of PPG.

Steelers have had an elite defense since like week 10.

*defense

in martial arts if you only attack but never defend you risk getting a brain injury

...

defense in basketball is pointless, when you have 100+ scores in a game you should just focus on attacking as much as you can

NOT EVEN YOU BURGERS KNOW YOUR OWN SEMEN-SLURPING "SPORT"

It's funny because his biggest wins as a manager came when he decided to not worry about possession and just set his team up to counter. Like the "4 goals in 20 minutes" game vs Arsenal.

I think a stout defense is better. Simply for this reason.

Offenses have to be completely in sync to work properly. A a good to elite defense simply has to break the rhythm of an offense and they can succeed easily. Just watch the Broncos vs Seahawks super bowl. The Seahawks just needed to apply a little pressure and the Broncos record setting offense couldn't get in rhythm and made mistake after mistake.

A good offense can still be a liability while a good defense is much more consistent.

Football or any sport where you can't make wholesale changes on the fly seem to be the sports where a balance of both really has to be made. You can be 2013/14 Liverpool or West Brom but neither will win you something.

American Football it depends. Both sides of the ball can win you a game, but a great D will most likely win you an Owl. Last year is a great example as Punished Manning : A Legend with a noodle arm was carried by his D. Same with the 18-1 season and the Seahwaks straight truckin' that great Broncos offense in the Owl.

Literally don't know how you can be defensive in Baseball apart from Bunting it a shit ton or something.

Something like Boxing it's basically what style suits you and how talented you are in that style win the match. Mayweather may be able to defend good as shit, but if he can't hit those counters and jabs in a devastating way he wouldn't have won shit.

Defense wins championships

It dependes on the sport

Great pitching is defense in baseball. Pitching and fielding.

defense
look at this past superbowl

That's bullshit.

Then Uruguay wins and they're like
>b-b-b-but we had 2894129% of ball possesion they scored 3 goals but we deserved to win xD

The best defence is the attack

Defense in baseball is excellent fielding and great pitching.

Pittsburgh has played solid defense in the last weeks, they even won without scoring a TD last week. New England is the best defense in points allowed and GB won because their defense stepped up and gave time to Rodgers.
Keep in mind that this all happen even though the NFL banned playing tough defense.

Defence is tits
Offence is ass

If you had to pick a between the two, you'd rather a girI with a great ass and smaII tits than great tits and no ass, but a great pair of tits is better than a great ass.

This... kinda makes sense.

the reason the saying in the nfl that defense wins championships holds true to today is because of the physicality of the sport. If you can impose your will on the offense by hitting them so hard they don't want to compete anymore, you will win.

that post is strangely true straya

>If you had to pick a between the two, you'd rather a girI with a great ass and smaII tits than great tits and no ass
incorrect

I like your reasoning

If you have a great defense but shit attack, the worst possible result is a draw. If you have a great attack but shit defense, the worst possible result is a loss.
