answer: #Person2# finds excuses for the soccer team's loss in the World Cup. #Person1# asks which team will #Person2# root for next, but #Person2# is instead following an online chess tournament.
documents: #Person1#: Hey. Have you been watching any of the World Cup soccer matches?
  #Person2#: Well, I was watching until my favorite team was bounced out of the first round of play. I mean, they should have made all the way to the second round, but a whole series of events cost the team the opportunity to prove themselves on the world stage.
  #Person1#: What do you mean?
  #Person2#: Well, in the first match, two of their star players were out with nagging injuries, so the rest of the players, unfortunately, just couldn't keep up with the opposing team.
  #Person1#: Well, that just life. I mean every team is going to have players out with injuries.
  #Person2#: Yea, but that's beside the point. And, and then, in the second game, the refs made some terrible calls, allowing the opposing team to slip by with a victory. I mean, we were robbed on that one. The refs must have been walking in their sleep!
  #Person1#: But, didn't one of your own players accidentally kick the ball twice into his own goal? I mean that doesn't sound like a bad call to me.
  #Person2#: That's just beside the POINT!
  #Person1#: Really?
  #Person2#: And finally, our team was ahead in the final watch---I mean they were way out ahead until the other team rallied in the final three minutes of play to squeak out a victory. It was a total embarrassment for our team. Our team was booed. All I can say is that the sun must have been in our players' eyes ...
  #Person1#: Uh, wasn't it a night game?
  #Person2#: That's beside the point, too. You just not understanding anything I'm saying.
  #Person1#: So, who are you rooting for now, seeing that your team has been eliminated?
  #Person2#: Ah, I can't watch any more soccer, so I've been following an online chess tournament.
  #Person1#: What?! Now, that has to be the most ridiculous reaction I have ever heard of. So, you're going to completely boycott the rest of the play just because your team got bounced out of the tournament?
  #Person2#: Ah, forget it. You just don't understand.
