As a child or adult, I have never managed to care who won anything in sport.

Where's the trifle?

No doubt you know what you mean, but I don’t.

Oh dear, apologies.
It was said with tongue in cheek.

Maybe their first lesson in life, the school of hard knocks.
I don’t blame teachers for not wanting to do it but it’s a great time to explain to younger kids how to take sporting losses.

When I lived and taught in England we also let the children watch when the team were in the final of something. We thought at least the children would be in school if we did that. England lost and we spent the rest of the day with the pupils, mainly boys, in tears. Never again .

We can hope for a Welsh win on Tuesday! We still have a World Cup wall chart % house somewhere!

It's a bit hard on the derrière to sit on the fence 🤔

Very sad for the School children. Glad this is a thread about football and not politics. I shall be watching and hoping for a win from the England team.

At least Gareth said the right things afterwards, no we was robbed stuff, just that they would pick themselves up and try even harder sort of thing.
It was a great match, loved it, loadsa energy and good moves from both sides.Apart from the fouls of course.
Sport is good for kids in many ways, playing it for exercise and team spirit and so on and realising that sometimes in life you lose.
