Senses:
gloss: To mark an opposition player closely.
pos: verb
tags: transitive
examples: In the most extreme form of man-marking, each player has a pre-established opponent to be followed and to be man-marked, from a more or less short distance, wherever he goes. The main objective of the defender is to steal the ball from his opponent if he receives it, or to place him in a threatened condition, thus forcing him to immediately get rid of the ball.
No, and I still hate him. This is for you. He's going to be man-marked. He won't be allowed anywhere near you. I'll rip him to pieces if he tries anything funny, […]
Our manager Don Megson had given me the job of man-marking George Best, so we were both a little disappointed, shall we say, that he scored after only 71 seconds.
It was my last round up against Noel O'Leary. He was rolled out to man-mark me again at the last minute. […] While the Cork manager might have felt he was negating my influence on the game by man-marking me with a secret last-minute selection, in reality we were always using the arrangement to our advantage.
When the team might have tired from that hard-running style they have had days to rest. When first Sam Allardyce and then José Mourinho exposed a certain weakness against a two-man attack, and also when the "supply" players, [Eden] Hazard and Pedro, were man-marked, [Antonio] Conte had a week to drill his team and patch this up.
If Rangers want to put someone on me, fine. If a team man-marks you that just pulls people out of position. I can go in and sit at centre-half which suits me. If my man-marker wants to play centre-forward, it's fine.

examples: The ascendancy of the offensive over the defensive stems particularly from the ability of advanced weapon systems to penetrate enemy defenses. The combination of great speed and great altitude, taken together with numbers during a mass launch, ensures that selected targets will be reached. Improvements clearly possible through the use of decoys, multiple warheads, electronic countermeasures, varying trajectories, maneuverability, feinting, and omnidirectional attack will further increase the ability penetrate defenses.
Any defense posture that he may have that would be common for any ballistic missile would not suffice for a low-altitude omnidirectional high-speed nuclear ramjet missile.
He’d known better at the time, damn it, but he’d let himself worry more over the possibility of losing an hour or two than her safety.
