Weren't you the one who said you were tired of "moral victories"? Or does that just apply to African teams?femibyte wrote:They also played and never gave up till the final whistle. African teams could learn from that. It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
PS: Remind me again of how breaking the one team in the Second Round barrier is a "moral victory"?

It is femibyte who said fighting till the end but still losing is a "moral victory". He made the correlation on another thread. A thread he started. A thread upon which he said he is tired of "moral victories".
Which is the point of the question. A question which was directed at femibyte.

Opaks! I guess conceding a cheap PK in the dying seconds is not giving up?tfco wrote:nonsense.kolinzo wrote:Dude, did Ghana not give up against USA?

which African teams gave up? Was it not Algeria who scored with (almost) the last kick of their match?
what do you call GIVING UP?
Ghana conceded after equalizing, how tf is that giving up?
CIV did not 'give up', they conceded a cheap PK in the dying seconds
Basically if one team scores in the dying seconds against the other, the team that conceded has given up...wow

To be scientifically literate is to empower yourself to know when someone else is full of boolsheet!
Scientifically speaking: ANC Trophies = 3/4 when Br^33 = 0.

How is that giving up? Some of una no dey gree use the cells actively, everything na autopilot.
Did Argentina 'give' up because the Swiss hit the post in the dying embers of their game? Did Belgium 'give up' because they almost lost a game they had owned (they'll be sending Wondo boxes of chocolates and cases of beer for life), did Germany give up because Algeria had chances to steal something from them?
Since when did a simple lapse in concentration become 'giving up'? I must be missing this definition of giving up.
