After the tutorial that made me realise that defence techniques should be tailored to fit the other team's playing style, I remembered a conversation that Keith had with us about the Mexican women's soccer team. He said that him and the Australian coaches realised that the Mexican captain would always use the same tactic when doing a goal kick. By predicting her strategy, the Australians counterattacked very well and managed to win.
With the availability of videos, statistics, and computer software, there is no excuse for not researching the opponent before you play them, and not organising strategies to beat them, based on their previous performances.
