In sports, teams win and individuals don't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.
Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.
Winning isn't always championships.
If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.
Not winning a title gives fuel to sportswriters and talking heads who question an athlete's true value.
Most ball games are lost, not won.
In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball's different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There's a lot of great individual talent.
In our sport, there's only two people, so if you're not winning, then you're losing.
Economics is about creating win-win situations. But in sports, someone loses.
