As harsh as this may sound, you can't possibly know what its like as a player on the field. Different situations occur, which lead to different outcomes. A player would understand a lot more than someone on the sidelines. Sometimes the circumstances aren't right, and a team may not get the opportunities deserved. Thats a give in...this is soccer. I agree, on paper, the best defense is Irmo. Although they haven't given up many goals, they are very suspect to pressure. As soon as a offense penetrates Irmo's defense, the floodgates will open. I will post my opinion and say that Spring Valley has the best defense, despite what you may think.
