Defence is important, dont let one or 2 games of attacking football fool you.This has been proven over time lots of times.

8-4 in a boxing match would mean you caught the opponent twice as many times as he caught you. Cracking result. Its a game of scoring the most.

Well if they were wearing red shirts and calling themselves Liverpool then I would imagine a lot of people would care about their defence

In american football it would mean you've only given away 2 safties but scored a touchdown yourself with going for 2 afterwards succesfuly instead of the PAT

In cricket it means you've scored 8 runs and lost 4 wickets

They conceded 4 goals to a team that scraped past Dundalk in qualification.

Obviously defense matters, they've scored in all but 2 matches this season yet they are 6 points off top spot domestically
