I am not a bona fide soccer fan,  so I haven't stayed up late watching the soccer games like so many of my friends.   Still,  I think it is regrettable that the French team lost.   I heard that they didn't completely focus in this competition,  because there has been some conflicts between the coach and players,  so the players had not been themselves when they were competing.

I think that no matter how big the problem,  we still need to practice professionalism and perform to the best of our abilities,  whether it is for our country,  our family or our job.   If everyone dealt with problems in a passive manner,  there would be no hope in winning.
