Same. I'm always one of the first people to get upset when teams cheer for others' failures, but I caught myself in quarterfinals with our team thinking "We'll advance if they knock that stack over...
Please knock your own stack over".
That's really ugly. It didn't feel good at all. I wanted to slap myself for even thinking it - so why is that a part of this game?
