If winning isn't everything, then why do they keep score?

The ultimate goal of any professional sport is to out play one's opponents and rise above them to become a champion in that field. Competition is the driving force in all sports, by definition of the very word. "Sport" is defined as "physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively", by the American Heritage dictionary.\n\nOften when we hear cliché phrases such as "it doesn't matter if you win or lose; it's how you play the game", it's a way of consoling school-aged children after tough losses, where sports are primarily used as a way to build character and integrity and winning is secondary.

It is supposed to be a team game.  There is no "I" in team.  How can you say one person is responsible for a team always losing.  Maybe your attitude needs an adjustment.

It means whatever you are playing with (money, etc) then whatever you win you keep.

All the teams can hope to do is get through the matches without losing heart. To win they need to play by the book and not get too big headed if they win. To win they need to have a strong team that can play hard and win without letting the standards drop!Plan for the worst and if it does happen it won't be too disappointing.

They don't have to beat every1 to win WC, they have to beat who they're supposed to beat. It's all in the schedule, they will accordingly play with the teams that in their Group, and play with other team who wins the previous round... so basically, they have to beat most of them, but not all of them

In a tough game anything can happen.  If you knew who would win it wouldn't be no fun.\n\nCoach

I agree with him. When your playing a sport that teams only score 1 or even no goals, you pretty much have it won considering the fact that its like 90 something percent that a team that goals first will win or tie. Although im not saying its not possible because its happened.

TAKE AWAY THE PHRASE 'WIN' FROM YOUR QUESTION.\nTHATS THE ANSWER.

We love when we win, because we have high expectation from the team we always feel that our team should always win and feel sad when loose. Sometimes we are angry because we loose from a situation when everyone feels that we are the ultimate winners and suddenly we loose because of lot of foolish acts. Though people may say that it is all a game and uncertainity is the name of the game, it is painful to see our stars going down like a bunch of jokers.

Nope. It's perfectly fair. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You have ups and downs but it all evens out in the end.\n\n"Everything happens for a reason."\n\nChin up!

So they could tie the score.

I think every game can be won. However some have more ways to getting to the solution.

They don't have the best team, but they know how to win. Home team adventadge is a myth. In all my years playing and watching football, I never seen a fan score a goal.

Pride, knowing that you went out and gave your best.  If you set goals like winning championships or games there are several variables that you can't control (you can't control the level of your competitors or how they play), you can only control how you play.  Set goals for your players to go out and do as much as they can and tell them to play for themselves and their own pride.  \n\nIf you still go out and lose, you can still feel good about yourself knowing that there was nothing else you could do and try again the next day.
