To me, attacking football happens when Makelele gets the ball and passes it to the central defender who passes it to the right-back who comes forward and judges the situation.

In England attacking football is giving the ball to Makelele and having him hit it forward no matter what, even if everybody is marked.

But a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

Not many know this, but in training sessions, I like to play in the center-back position sometimes. I think I'm good at that position, and my father used to be a central defender. Some people don't realize that if you play in that position, you can better understand how the defender thinks.
Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before.
