I actually enjoy watching Breakaway

You missed our strategy binder then.

We had 6 pages for just different autonomous plays alone. There were 10 offensive plays if I recall correctly, 3 end game plays, as well as alliance plays.

The outlined above bought us a Regional win. 2009 was PACKED with strategy.

I love how this year (except for penalties), you know the score as you are watching. A few times this year, with the game tied, one team would score a last-second goal. The crowd went crazy, because they knew that it was the deciding score. Last year, it was tough to tell who was winning, so while there was more anticipation in seeing the official score, there wasn't the same in-game drama as there is in Breakaway.

I totally agree there is not near as much strategy this year it is to stop the endgame and to try and stop them from scoring the ball are the two big ones in my opinion
