After some Argentina players reacted appallingly following defeat to Spain, this special Football For Kids episode looks at the part of the game that matters far more than any trophy: how you behave when you lose. Darren explains why feeling angry, upset or heartbroken is completely normal, but hurting somebody never is. This is an emotional and important lesson about sportsmanship, self-control and choosing what kind of player, and person, you want to become. Learn more about your ad choices.
