bombing up used too Explanation: https://www.thoughtco.com/the-real-madrid-formation-3557318 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2017-10-21 10:31:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- so I'm sure there are people who use up/down without a thought and probably have an oposite view to my onw. People also differ about whetehr you are going up or dow a street. Anyway, the way I see it one team (especially when moving from defensive positions) attacking the other team's goal is moving UP the field (=going forward) whie the opposing tewm is moving DOWN to them -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2017-10-21 10:33:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.fourfourtwo.com/performance/skills/glen-johnson-... oh yes, as you said, "bombing" down (or up) is moving really quickly -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2017-10-21 10:35:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- oops. sorry for typos: opposite/own/whether/down -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2017-10-21 12:16:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Asker, as you can see, many agree it's not systematic as to whether 'up' or 'down' are used and they are basically interchangeable but I think there is a nuance there nevertheless. Tony's comment about higher or lower side of the pitch brings me back to the analogy I used of going up or down a street. But is there a top or bottom to a street/pitch, and if so, where is it? It's arguable:-) |
