Sports (Discuss with friend)

What should we do while watching a sports match? Today, Thursday 15 September 2022, my mate (Nadine L. P.) and I discussed about what sports we are interested in and how we act while watching those sports. So, here's the result:

When watching sports matches, we must pay attention to manners in order to create a conducive and comfortable situation to enjoy the sports game. Do not litter around the arena, stands, and actually in any place, because it can worsen the condition of our environment. No profanity, because that's very disrespectful. We should also avoid continuous extra loud shouting, as it can annoy other people. Don't let the trash talk escalate. There is no benefit from trash talk. If our National Anthem is sung, stand and be silent during the anthem. Put the meaning of the song into your mind and heart. Whatever happens on location, keep your comments positive. Don't heat things up. And last but not least, it's important to congratulate the winning team, even if it's not our team that we want them to win. Everyone in the game has given their best effort. So, we have to respect them.

Then, jump to the next issue. It's about a game that appeals to me and Nadine L.P., football/soccer. The last time we watched a football match was when Indonesia played Thailand in the first leg of the AFF Cup Final, December 2021. At that time we didn't know each other. We watch the game at home on television (TV). At first, we were both very excited and curious as to which team would win. We hope our national team, Indonesia will win. However, until the end of the match that night, Indonesia had not been able to catch up with Thailand. Thailand won the match with 4 goals, while Indonesia got 0. Our feelings at that time were very disappointed, sad, and other pent-up feelings. However, we still appreciate the good performance of our national team, and still respect the winning team. Above all, we also continue to hope that Indonesia can win in the second leg.
