[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good effort. Bad luck. Those are things you can say instead of "great kick" when it really wasn't.

Attended one of these games with parents on the other team cheering for everything and I felt bad for the kids. This is for an an age when the kids know enough to know it was not a good kick![/quote]

Once the kids reach that age you don't have to feel bad for them.  I promise you by that time the kids are perfectly capable of
(a)  ignoring the parents
(b)  discussing amongst themselves whose parents are the noisiest / biggest idiots.

On my daughters' team they had a meeting at one point and the kids decided together whose parents needed to be told to shut up.  I thought that was pretty funny.[/quote]

Except they looked mortified. The worst was when a kid kept "clearing" the ball on half with the opposing team's goal and no opponents in sight and some parents were screaming and clapping and saying way to go. The score was something like 1-0 and the other team was winning.[/quote]
