It has! Four years ago, I was just happy to get away with the victory.
Your tone would change too, if everytime an achievement of your's came up it was defined as being "lucky" or the result of the Curie Curse.
We know how much of an upset, but sometime we want credit for not rolling over an letting them walk right past us to the win.
We had a strategy, we executed it in the first match. We won. That wasn't nessecarily luck that we beat them in the first match.
In the second match, luck swung to our side, 2041 got stuck in the goal and 294 made sure they stayed there, we still had to play the rest of the match. 1114 was still scoring balls...and the match was close and not decided until the end.
A lot of matches are won and lost every year. Some are lucky others are not. But, after the initial analysis of the matches is completed, the winners are usually granted the crown and deemed the better alliance in those matches, by the majority of people. I'm not sure we have been deemed that, yet.
Or maybe I am just getting sensitive and cranky as I get older.
