The Shell

“The shell” refers to an extremely effective defensive formation found in Master’s (old man) competitive soccer. Nobody on the team really knows what it is but just saying the words “the shell” makes each player uttering these words under their breath think of a turtle, retreating into it’s fused bone shell, impenetrable and able to withstand a lot of pressure.

1. It was the shell that gave Surrey United Masters A their edge over other teams.
