Blood, Sweat and Tears: Bring ‘em on

Winning isn’t complicated. It’s all about how bad do you want it? When you’re staring a 2-0 defeat in the face, will you shrug your shoulders and say you ‘did your best’ or will you roll your sleeves up and get stuck in?

As Mia Hamm, former US football player and Women’s World Cup winner, said:
‘The person that said winning isn’t everything, never won anything.’ If you’re not ready to dump your last remaining energy reserves on the fire in the 93rd minute to chase a winning goal, get off the field.

As Ji-Sung Park, Lucas Neill and Sergio Aguero show here, winning isn’t a matter of life and death – it’s so much more than that.
