"Thought red turned out black"

After many years of participating in the tournament and advancing deep into the next round, the team from the coastal town of Cua Lo has never been crowned champion. Entering this year's season, the teachers and students of Cua Lo Children's Football Club were determined to "change the history of the tournament", eager to step onto the podium of glory once. However, in the opening match, the team from the coastal town lost to Hoang Mai Children's Football Club with a score of 4-0.

Despite losing, the young players had an impressive performance, leaving the audience with admiration when they were continuously behind in the score but their fighting spirit was always promoted. Receiving the loss, a player from the Cua Lo Children's side uttered regretful words: "I thought it was red but it turned out to be black". It turned out that the Cua Lo Children's players in red shorts and red shirts helped them strengthen their belief in a winning match, but the result was a heavy loss so "red turned black".

"Cheering for the husband will upset the wife"

This morning, at the provincial stadium, there was a match between the Anh Son Children's Football Team and the Yen Thanh Children's Football Team. In the stands, there were many fans cheering. Among them, the most impressive was the young couple with plastic bottles and whichever side's players went up to attack, both of them also "cheered enthusiastically".

As it turns out,Yen Thanhis the wife's hometown team, Anh Son's team represents her husband's hometown. When they learned of the match schedule, the two teams faced each other, so the couple made a common agreement, "Everything is one, Yen Thanh, wife's hometown or Anh Son, husband's hometown are one, cheer for both. If there is any bias or deviation, they will immediately receive a yellow card."

However, when caught up in the game, both husband and wife had moments of "breaking the rules". To maintain harmony, after "the mistake was his", the husband raised his voice and sang loudly "Cheering for the husband will upset the wife", so "let me shout together so that I don't shout alone and upset the wife".
