This is why you should live your life without expecting anything from anyone. Learn to love yourself first, and then what others think about you will always just be noise.
It take one big win to erase all losses
Imagine just by making a mistake in a sport where you simply just kick a balls into a net, and people hated and even some probably want to unalive you for that... Is just so ironic...
I thought everyone hated him because he skied the penalty that could have won the game not a red card
It was poor from David but England still had a penalty shootout meaning they still had a chance to win but they lost the shootout
Same guy who scored a goal from the mid line and became loved by everyone
