The Spain v Switzerland game today showed EXACTLY what so many parents don't get about the games their kids play. Spain is a FAR superior team with better players pretty much across the board. I don't know anyone who honestly thought the Swiss would beat them. The Swiss players could have bitched and moaned about their awful luck in having to face the european champions and just played not to lose. Instead they went out, gave it everything they had, played to their strengths and walked away with all 3 points.

The better team lost because the less talented team played the game. Even if they'd lost they'd have been able to walk away knowing they had done their best against arguably the most talented team in the world.

Great job!
