That person was right,
Football is only a game. Now, I'm not criticising anyone who enjoys watching/playing footie. That's your choice as much as it is mine to not enjoy/watch it. But there's a lot more to life than the results of a match you didn't participate in as more than a spectator/placed a bet on the outcome. If you were playing on the pitch then yes I could understand why it might be upsetting to lose.
