Sports movies in which "THE team" loses?

[underpants]

That being movies where the main team-the team that the movie follows-end up losing. Usually they all get to the "BIG GAME" and almost always it turns out that they win.

The first "The Bad News Bears" is the one that comes to mind. Any others?

I suppose in a thread asking for the ending of movies the spoiler was inevitable.

Lesson learned :-(

13. I was too

This was the first movie I saw on cable at 10 years old. Read the book shortly there after. You're right, the book was a lot better. A great movie none the less.

10. "Take Me Out To The Ball Game," Deep Space Nine.

Even though Sisko and his team lose, watching that self-righteous Vulcan lose his "logic" and cool is hilarious.
