The need to control your emotions as a football fan.

[Outhue]

Lol, there was so much emotion and frustration on this match, I can't help but think that maybe the fans placed some bets on their country? Or maybe they just can't help it because they have so much love for their country?

There is no way you won't feel sad if your country lose a match, I could remember when I was young, the only football match I watch is the world cup, and I was always very excited about whats going to happen, it's just what it is, but some people do take this emotion thing too far at times.

Damaging of properties and getting angry unnecessary is not worth it, I mean it's not as if someone died or you lost a limb, I have a brother that I don't like watching a match with, because the moment his favourite loses the game he always get so angry that it affects people around him, I am not sure he is even aware of this.

The Ghanaian national team drew against mozambique, and the entire Ghanaian fans and press team where outraged by the performance of their black star's. in their minds eye they feel the Mozambique team where a weaker side for them to win and qualify for the next round, but rather they drew 2-2 and crashed out of the AFCON competition.
One press man was vigorously abusing the Ghanaian coach as he was walking pass them, calling him unprintable names.
As gambler and a football fan, it most appropriate for you to always show a good level of emotional intelligence whenever results doesn't go your way, because that's the spirit of sportsmanship,
The results must not always go your way as a gambler, you will lose some and you will win some.

Some people are die-hard football fans, and being ardent supporters of a team, they are emotional in what happens on and off the pitch. But a wise person will moderate things instead, no matter how you believe you are a lover of football and the side you support, there should be some level of respect for others and the belief that nothing is perfect in it. Fate also plays its role here, and no matter how believing and strong a team is, if they would lose at the hands of a very lesser team, they will, so we should moderate things. Frankly, if I was to bet on that match, I would have given my bet to Ghana, I thought the Ghanaian team would do better than what they played. Nevertheless, this is football, and we should be ready for what we never planned for as well.

In honesty, those Black Stars guys did well but were met with some stiff resistance by the opponent they least expected, and you can imagine what happened to Morrocco in their second game of AFCON where the opponent held them against what they ever believed, this is football, anything can happen. As for those talking bitterly, they are not just wise, some people's psychology and reaction to things are wrong, some are even mad mentally but are still living and talking like normal human beings, so you shouldn't be surprised by their ugly behaviour in most cases. Why the coach issue? These guys scored twice but were only held, the coach did well in my opinion, they were not just lucky enough to qualify for the next round.

[moneystery]

it is very unfortunate that the fans were unable to control their emotions which led to this unpleasant incident. even though it's quite annoying when your favorite team can't beat a trivial team, that's not an excuse to justify this dishonorable action, especially as ghana is one of africa's best national teams. this dishonorable attitude from its fans cannot be justified because it will affect image of the team.

fans should act normally and not overdo it when their favorite team loses because no matter what, all good or bad actions from fans will be related to the image of the team and that is why it is very important to be able to control your emotions as a fan.

I also watched a short video clip were some fans vented anger on their national team, I think such kind of embracing behavior might discourage some of the Europe based players to stop coming to represent the country in their subsequent international matches, though Mozambique might be weaker compared to the star-studded Black Star of Ghana, their should be aware that a lot of lowly rated national team had up their game thus creating upsets especially in the ongoing AFCON for instance Ivory coast is the verge of being eliminated after losing 0-4 to an underdog Equitorian Guinea, Cape Verde is another tournament underdog who topped their table in a group which consist of Ghana and Egypt

They might have placed some bets on Ghana and got furious by the fact the underdog team managed to draw against the favorite. Maybe they even thought results could have been fixed, what potentially justifies so much dissatisfaction and rage from the crowd. If they love their country so much it's not through soccer they should show it, especially when creating troubles and quarrels with the members involved on the soccer industry of the country. Love for the country is shown in the daily life, when focused in improving life quality of the population, seeking to see the country developing itself in education, health, infrastructure and technology sectors. Sports should remain in second plan, at least in countries which aim to develop themselves as strong, independent and influent nations.

There are so many important and meaningful things to be angry about, that to put all their energies into a lost soccer match seems a big waste. What difference would it make for real if the national team would have won? Would it bring more food into the table next day? Unless there was money wagered, the answer is no, so it really makes no sense to fight for something so insignificant like that, also because they may be risking their lives by doing so...

There are two things here. First, if the people were angry with the bad performance of their team, this aggression may not be because all of them were betting on the game and lost the bet but it could be that they want their national team to win and  due to a draw they were not able to qualify. Winning and losing is a part of the game, and there is no need to be angry or show such emotions on a teams loss.

Even if most of those people were gambling, and they were sure that they would have won this match, still nothing is certain is any sports and gamblers should manage their risks accordingly.  Even when you are sure the one team is weak this does not mean that they will lose. On a bad day for a good team, the upsets do happen and in that case, most of the betters will lose their bets.

Football gains meaning if there is love, peace and brotherhood. Football ceases to be football if there is intolerance, conflict and hatred. We must be free from all forms of fanaticism and hooliganism. Fanaticism and hooliganism are part of collectivist movements that dull the human mind. From time to time I feel similar situations in the tribune, so I decide to watch the matches at home even though I have a season ticket. I have never harmed anyone in my life because of football. I love football, but for me football is a subset of some value patterns that are more valuable than football.

its funny how people assume that football is won by how big a team his or how popular a county his. No Country came to the afcon for the purpose of catching cruise or to allow their opponent win them just like that. The same way Ghanaians want to qualify for the next round of the tournament is the same way their opponent want it also it's just whichever team that put in the needed work that end up winning the match at the end of the day.

Talking about the reactions of the Ghanian fans towards their team, it's normal for them to react badly because some of them paid huge some of money just to witness the game only to see that  they could not win a single game till they were sent out of the tournament. It's enough reading to be angry but for a journalist to publicly rain insult on the national team coach is uncalled for and very unprofessional of him.

As we should. No one has guarantee of the result, that's why you gamble. As you gamble, you are betting also with your fortune and luck; part of this is to either lose or win. No matter how huge the difference with odds and handicap, only the result could tell things. With this, being preventive of your own emotions to get over you is the best thing as well as your discipline to the amount you are betting. A controlled bet would allow you to avoid regrets of losing huge money or satisfaction with the amount you will be earning after a winning bet; it might not be that much with what is everyone expecting but bottomline is that you earn profit from doing so. Efficiency is the key.

That's part of the game; if you would win all the time, won't it be boring? It is normal to be frustrated especially if things did not go in accordance with what you desire but nothing will change; we just have to accept things and look forward for their next game. I believe it is one of our responsibilities as gamblers and as fans of the league. It will always be between the two; win or lose. Let us not be heartless to them just because things did not go well on our side. If they're your favorite team then prove it; favor them through ups and downs.

People just have to know that in sports, for a team to win, the other must lose and vice versa, it is a game that is somehow unpredictable. So, attaching so much emotions will only be detrimental to the fan and even the team if he allows his emotions control his actions and utterances. It is very okay to love a team to the extent of feeling emotional over their defeat but raining curses and abuses on the team is no way an encouragement, it is an unpatriotic act for his country. It is a problem when the fans cannot manage defeat effectively even if they placed bets on their favourite team. Football is one sport that unites the world, if fans begin to cause big issues out of their favourite team's defeat, where then is the love?

Football is a great game to watch but it also plays a lot of role on how we feel, think and react to some certain things that occurred during the process of playing and in turn if affects our emotions. We should not allow our emotions to override us as it is only a game of fun and can one day be in your favour and the other time, it will totally be against you. The Ghanaian National team were eliminated because of their poor performance and inability to win a team that ought to have been beaten by them. Underrating is not nice in a game of football and now they’ve to reap the fruits of their negligence in the first place. I saw that they also sacked their coach after they were not able to qualify for the round of 16 after all three matches were played. Let’s await and see the results of the other teams and see maybe they can qualify amongst the best third places in the group stage. But for now, they’ve ti just accept the result and take it as fate.

there are some die-hard fans who really are investing too much emotion on their games. it is as if the athletes are paying them to defend them at all cost. these fans need to wake from the reality that these athletes won't be there if they cause trouble. actually, it is not good in their image if they are involved into nonsense trouble owed to some crappy reasons.

You can't blame fans for showing how they love their club or their country. It's part of the game and it happened everywhere around the globe.l
Let me tell you a story of what happened when I went to watch a match in a football film house, it's common here in my place, so this boy was is a stammerer and a hard die fan of Chelsea. His club was having challenges last season and this boy argued with his friend that Chelsea are going to win Leed United because they were in relegation zone then but in the end, Chelsea FC conceded 3 goals and lost, he was mocked and when he wanted to defend himself, he bursted into cry because he couldn't due to his disability but after the match, I saw him and his friends doing their things, that's football for you.

Did you know that Ghana head coach was sacked immediately because of what happened, they fumbled and disgrace Ghana for losing to Mozambique in 90+ minutes but I think the fans over reacted, some people seems like they are frustrated and we're looking to paste their anger on the players that didn't do well in the Afcon match.

Well I can't myself not guilty of over reacting because of football because that's the epitome of every football lover behavior. But I agree that violence is no way to go about this feeling with your team losing. The love for football has made lots of football fans do crazy things and some of them are just crazy for the sport and this is what keeps and binds all the industry involved in football and this love and rage will always be there because of the passion.

Discipline is supposed to be imbibed in every sportsperson. There is a need to understand that it's a game and there must be a winner so even when you don't win act disciplined on the ground that you are a human and everyone deserves some level of respect.

No doubt, football is a game of passion and it is difficult to differentiate passion and emotions. However, in my opinion, attaching emotion to sports is not bad but a person should only be guided against showing violence due to emotions.

It goes for many sports, but for some reason it is deemed more acceptable or action is not taken against individuals who conduct themselves so badly. Then again, the players are allowed to abuse referees on the pitch, which sets a bad precedent for the fans abusing officials or staff related to the teams as well. If the public fans saw a crackdown against poor player behavior, they would fall in line too. However any people who do these things should get incremental bans that do not reset, 1 month the the first time, 3 months the second time, then a year, then a lifetime ban. Public shaming of the worst offenders might also cause them a bit of self reflection too - as they often try to hide in the shadows. There are plenty of decent people out there who would love to attend these games and pick up any extra tickets that became available, plus a nicer environment would persist all round.

[Odusko]

I think that was a little out of the rules of fanship because most of them don't know how to behave or conceal their miss feelings when the team and players fail to meet their expectations, so for that, we have to bear in mind that, this will not change as long as football matches and games are a concerned.
There was a similar situation in my country's stadium sometime ago when the fans stoned both the coach, referees and the other officials who were part of the team that led the club to the stadium, which made the football body ban some football activities in that stadium for some time.
So this is not a new thing to see fans going overboard in reactions to what outcome the club come up with this mostly happens in local football because the International leagues already have basic security architecture to secure the stadium and environs.

[maydna]

Usually, football fans do inappropriate things because their team has been defeated by the opposing team or cheating is taking place, so they vent their frustration within the stadium and even onto the streets, where it can injure other people. Such actions should be prohibited because they have crossed the line. Usually, the authorities immediately act if such an incident occurs and will protect innocent people who pass by that place. The violence committed by these fans is usually triggered by one or two or even several people, so they end up following him and doing inappropriate things. This requires awareness from fans so that they do not do inappropriate things and still uphold sportsmanship in football. They can submit an objection to the management and ask for a rematch if there is cheating instead of doing inappropriate actions or things.

[goinmerry]

The results must not always go your way as a gambler, you will lose some and you will win some.

It's not about being a gambler. In that situation, fans are just disappointed because that is something unexpected to happen.

It's fine to show disappointment in their supporting team if it shows that the said team is at worst in that game. And of course, no violence on the part of the fans. That incident should serve as a wake-up call to the losing favorites to play seriously even against an underdog. They should bounce back in the next competition and show their fans what they made up. The whole team should think things went wrong during the match.

[Juse14]

In a football match, we will never know for sure what the result will be, even though the team we support is stronger than its opponent. As football fans and wise football gamblers, the ability to accept the end result is quite an important skill and we must have it. The thing called football is like gambling, both of which involve an element of luck and the results of the match do not always match the hopes and predictions we made in the past. because there are always possibilities that occur beyond our previous expectations.

And indeed, when the final result does not match what we previously expected, this can make us feel disappointed and even emotional. However, it would be wiser if we had a balanced and rational attitude towards football results and the betting activities we carry out, because at least this can help maintain a positive experience and minimize the negative impact of a decision or result that is not in accordance with expectations and predictions.
