  • If you look at soccer, you’ll see a bunch of people passing a ball back and forth and making no progress.

    If you look a little closer, you’ll see players trying to bait the opposing team into making a mistake. You’ll see players trying to position themselves to receive or intercept a pass. Others are applying pressure to force the player with possession to make a mistake.

    Sometimes that takes a little bit of time, especially if you are winning, your opponents are going to feel that time pressure and you can use that against them. Force them to make a bad move.

    Both sides are constantly doing this, they have formations and strategies designed to break the opposing team’s structure.

    Team games are all like this, you are trying to control the field and shape it to your advantage.

    If you think of it as a war game, with formations and feints and strategies, you might be more amenable to the slower plays.
