I never understand the reasoning behind having a high like that at those sorts of freekicks. As a defender you simply cannot attack the ball as you have to run back towards your own goal to follow the flight of the ball. Surely starting on the edge of the 6yd box and facing the delivery would give you a much better chance of clearing it?

The only advantages to holding a high line is the chance to catch the oppo offside (which should never happen if the oppo have any sense at all) and that you give you keeper a chance to come and collect - but how often does that actually happen? They nearly always stay on their line.

GREAT defensive header :clap:

We want Hawkeye!

We need to stop heading the ball, we're dreadful at it.

We're going to concede here, we look really afraid.
flak and gary love stacie and weep sorrowful tears when she's not around
