Very few message boards are full of compliments to an opposing side that wins. Mostly its "if we didn't ..we would have won. A high school student in psych 101 can tell you why: By not complimenting the other team you are not admitting the other team is better. Its the mistakes of your team that caused the loss. Without the mistakes your team is always better and would win. Why you can't admit someone or some team is "better" is beyond me.
