It would have been better had we won the game but it was not his fault we lost. I am very happy with him,

If I lost, so what. If I won, so what. My heart's not in it, but what else would I be doing?

A game is not won until it is lost.

The game is not lost - or won - until the last bell goes.

It might be great if you won. It's not the greatest game if you lost, ... You can say whatever you want. It's not going to be one of my greatest games because we lost.

The game is never lost till won.
