REFERENCES ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],CONCLUSION The results of this study were somewhat similar to that of other studies that stated a majority of goals are scored within 15 seconds of re-possession (2). These findings do not necessarily give support to the usefulness of the counter-attack tactic in breaking down the opposition defence. International teams may find more success from taking a more cautious and planned offensive approach. Such an approach would look to find and capitalise on weaknesses in the defence. The results of this study supported some of the research on the optimum area to win possession in order to score more frequently, however, the research is quite contradictory (2,3). By focusing on the results of the present study, it would appear that employing a pressing defensive strategy, would be beneficial to a teams attacking potential. Furthermore, encouraging players in advanced positions to close down when defending, may illicit an increase in possession won in these attacking zones, and greater probability of goal scoring success. The present study shows contradictory evidence to other research when considering the speed of play and success (4). One possible reason as to why slower attacking phase movement could be beneficial, as seen in this study, could be that the team is able to organise a more comprehensive attack. Taking time to organise and plan an offensive approach may help to target weaknesses in the opposition’s defence. METHODS INTRODUCTION ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Luke MAHONY ATTACKING PHASES DURING THE 2010 FOOTBALL WORLD CUP Analysis showed no significant relationship between duration of phase and outcome (χ 2 (25, N = 1056) = 32.42, p = .146). Analysis trended towards more goals being scored with durations of between 11 to 15 ( SR = 1.6) and 21 to 25 seconds ( SR = 1.6, Figure 2). Analysis showed a significant relationship between team rank and speed of phase movement ( F (4, 1051) = 6.52, p < .001, η 2 = .024_. Team ranked 1 st ( M = 6.94, SD = 7.45) had significantly lower speeds than teams ranked 2 nd ( M = 5.30, SD = 4.74), 4 th ( M = 4.29, SD = 3.04), and 5 th ( M = 5.04, SD = 4.22). However, there was no significant difference between the speeds of the teams ranked 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th (Figure 4). email: u3011981@uni.canberra.edu.au Figure 3: Percentage of goals scored per total number of phases for each starting zone Figure 2: Percentage of goals scored per total number of phases for each duration group Direction of Attack Figure 1: Classification of field zones RESULTS D C B A Analysis showed a significant relationship between field zone the phase started in and outcome (χ 2 (15, N = 1056) = 68.93, p < .001). Analysis showed a trend here that less goals were scored when the phase began in the mid-defensive zone ( SR = -1.6, Figure 3). Analysis showed that more goals were scored when starting in the attacking zone (SR = 2.1) . Figure 4: Average speed of phases for each team rank
